Old Sac

[454h20]

Whats happening DELTA CREW...I was just wandering if any of you fellas ever take the ride to Old Sac? we went a couple times last year it took about a 1.5 hrs.... theres a few no wake zones. defianetly a cool ride ..
if the Lockes arent open in Walnut grove its longer ride... learned that the hard way...

[deltarat]

I have not taken that trip yet however it is on my list for this spring/summer. Is there a hotel or something up there were you can dock and spend the night?

[454h20]

There is alot to do there plenty of eats and drinks. Nice dock which the Embassy hotel over looks. I would like to go for St Pattys day 3/17/06
then return the next day. I just hung up w/ the hotel and there is rooms left
149.00 then a $1 per foot for the doc space. This includes open bar from 5-7pm. and full breakfast omletes etc...
3/17/06 - 3/18/06

Yes,Old Sac trip is a must if you have not done it.
Stay at the embassey suites,toss them back up on the american river &
start a fight at the CRAB SHACK every time you go (TUNNEL T).
we try to go 1-2 times a year & its a blast.
We call it the SAC & BACK run. :cool:

All right, another event we can have! I've done the run and back in a day with another fella, and it was a blast. There were very few slow water zones, and you could haul ass all the way there. The only problem is that if your boat breaks, you're kind of screwed because of the lack of marinas.

Dude it ran on 7 cylinders all last season so why worry now? How about gas docks?

[hulshot]

I would love to do the Sac and Back run. I have wanted to for a coulple of years. I got to get a fuel pump issue fixed first. :rolleyes:

[454h20]

Let me know when you guys are heading to American River. I will have the cruiser beached-in with cocktails cooling. Might even have a BBQ going, another friend of mine has a bigger cruiser, he will be there also.

The Old Town trip was in our plans for the Tower Park Run this coming year but it got canned due to the Bridge to Bridge is the same weekend. We were thinking of going ahead with it and try to time it so 25 or so boats would be going through just as they reopened the river for the noon time break. I think it would be a lot of fun!

[acatitude]

Hate to miss the tower park outing Cas. hopefully next year the dates wont be set until we find out the weekends of other events. Would be cool if you guys made a run up to sac that weekend

Careful there at the junction of the Sacramento and American rivers. Last summer I was at least 75' from shore, showing 25+ on my depth gauge, and managed to find some sort of wooden snag in that area. Folded a blade on my Bravo 4 blade, and jammed a piece of wood in the pick-up for my drive shower so hard I had to drill it out, then reverse flush from the opposite end. The Holiday Inn directly across from Old Town is also a good place to stay. Wife and I do the trip at least once a year.

Has anyone checked on the locks to see if they will be open??

[454h20]

The lockes are closed....DAMN ...they said probably till late April or May till there open..

[BIGJOEDUCKSLAYER]

454H20 so it looks like the american river saturday, my wifes boat cocktails around noon? And anybody who wants to drop by please do. The boats name is thirty something. I will have bbq going with snacks, beach umbrella up. And for all of you foo-foo boys mudslides in blender. TIME FLYS WHEN YOUR HAVING RUM BIG JOE (march 18th)

[Den Isle]

If you go up Georgiana Slough, I think you by pass the locks???
Made that trip two summers ago going up to Bridge to Bridge, a little narrow, but good water all the way and the scenery is stunning. Did not see any other boats along the way.
Much nicer ride than hitting the Sac. at three mile slough.

[Den Isle]

Looked at a real chart, Maptech #122, the locks are off of Snodgrass Slough/Delta Cross Channel.
A trip up Georgiana Slough is the way to go!! :)
Georgiana pops in right at B&W Marina, could be a last fuel top off point if you need to.

[454h20]

Were leaving noon Friday should be in Old Sac no later then 2pm were gonna check in then go up the river for a little cruise..weve never been past Old Sac.On Sat How far up the river do we go is there any markers? We have 4 boats in for sure so far...weather says no rain and in the mid 60s...

[BIGJOEDUCKSLAYER]

You cant miss AMERICAN RIVER on right about 1 mile upriver from old sac. The wife and me could meet you guys in old sac after we get off work at 5:00pm, so that puts us at discovery boat launch about 5:45. The river is really high right now, dont know if we could get under bridge at discovery. If not will dock at old sac and party like it's 1999. I dont think i will have REDNECK back together by then. If you have enough room we could jump in with you guys and head upstream to chevys,virgen sturgen, and alamar for cocktails? The wifes cruiser only goes 40mph and throws hugh wake.
TIME FLYS WHEN YOUR HAVING RUM :crossx: :p :crossx: :p
