How many more mobile homes on the Parker Strip

[TCHB]

Does anyone how many more new mobile homes they are putting on the Parker Strip up the othe side of La Paz County Park on the California side. I hope it is not Brian Jackson behind it because it will be stuff em in and stuff em in and collect $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Not sure who has the concession for the new park. But from what I've heard, there's going to be at least 200 spaces.
What percentage will be "fixed" MHs and Park Models, and what % will be RV, I don't know.

With that many new places on the small on a very busy corner it may spell a lot more trouble.

Thats all Parker needs is more mobilehome parks. Like Parker can handle more boats. It's all about the all mighty DOLLAR!!. Do the new homes come with a free set of "Mufflers", if not there's that "ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR" thing again argue eek!

I think a lot of you have stumbled onto this story:
You're at the SandBar, get to talking to another couple,,and the question always comes up: Where are you guys staying?"
Then they go into how they put a really nice, or put a lot of money into a, Mobil Home on Indian Property.
They thought they had a lease, and a fixed monthy payment on that lease,, but then the Indians kept raising their monthly note until they priced them out.
They end up either abandoning their investment,, or spending plenty of $$ on a relocation.
We hear this story at least once a year.
When I move to Parker, I'm owning the dirt under me.

If you just run the numbers 200 spaces, 200 boats, 50 PWC all on a small area of the river. With this new mobile home park there is mobiles all the way from foxes to Emerald Cover (4 miles) with only a few breaks. How many spaces are at Emerald Cover 400 to 500??? How can you not have accidents with that many people in one small area????

Just as a forum members signature says,"Sell the job first, then figure out how to do it" applies here big time. Sell all the spaces you can, and THEN we'll figure out how to manage all the people that follow. Speed limit on Parker?
More money, more problems. I wish I had been born 10 or 20 years ago so I could have witnessed what "it used to be" like.
HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM..........

Parker used to be skiiers and flattys, no lake roaches, anything on the CA side is to be bought with much concern over indian regulations and fixed leases turing into monthly rentals, we have property on the water N. or Blythe and it is a fixed lease from the Indians that we are in court for to get title to the land.
when the economy slows down, look on the arizona side and there should be some property investments worthy of your money. just keep those ****ing huge fountain boats out of parker, go back to the ocean.

Yes, Brian is heading up that project from what I understand. I guess it's supposed to be called Windmill II. What I heard is that it's one row of Park models the whole length. I think they're allowing up to 70'. I don't think there will be any RV spaces there. This has been in the works for quite a while. Last year I heard they were starting at 90k. All info could probably be obtained by calling the office @ Emerald Cove Resort.

When we started going to Parker 26 years ago it was a great place to ski and watch on the hot flat bottoms race in the late afternoons. The bigger boats were 19 to 21 ft but most were 18 ft.
Every Saturday night you could catch the glass off and have a great ski ride. Now with all the new mobiles, block retaining walls,jet skis, boats it has changed. Think about it no jet skis on the river and all boats were under 21 ft. The California side has been maxed out with more than 3,000 camp sites that were not there 20 years ago.

Emerald Cove Resort has more like 600 sites. From my experience the boat population is broken up somewhat like this.
30% PWC
20% Sport Runabouts
20% Ski boats
20% Performance boats
10% Pontoon boats
Sounds like the traffic will go up considerably when the place gets going. frown
