Hard to work, hard to sleep, only three days to go and a 5 hour drive and we will be at Needles Marina Park setting up camps, sippin' cocktails, eating killer HolyMoly made carne asada. can't wait to launch, fire up my boat, and cruise to the sandbar. Gonna get there about 11:30 Friday night by the time I go pick up the boat in Bulhead and roll into NMP. Oh well adrenaline will keep me awake. "I'm on a highway to Hell". No stop signs
speed limit
nobody's gonna slow me down
got my wheel
gonna spin it
nobody's gonna mess me around
Rock and roll river party! In my head I'm already there-work is just the annoying fact of life keeping me here.

There's just one thing I'm unclear on. Are you excited about going this weekend? I've read both of your threads about going to Needles this weekend, how do you really feel about it? wink

DiscoI wish I could go but I just have too much going on between a friends birthday party, work and trying to plan a wedding to get away right now. I want to get all of the wedding stuff taken care of so I don't mess up next summer. But belive me I'll be wishing I was there with you guys.

revndave I'll be in the area. I will be probably launching at the AVI or Willow Valley so look for the white flat (pic below) just south of the AVI at Circle Beach you can't miss it. I'll be playing in that area so stop by for a cold one.

I wish I could but I don't think I have enough gas to get down there and back (only 8 gallon tank). I was thinking about launching at Topock and carry a five gallon gas can with me but I don't think the federalies would appreciate that one.

OK, almost ready. Washed the boat tonight, few minor things to check Friday morn and we are outta here around noon if my f'n back cooperates, which it aint. I might be "Trailer" Bill again :o so somebody better bring mass quantities for me to consume :D

beached 1 wish I could go but I'm going to go play a little at circle beach (just south of the AVI). I will probably launch at Needles around one o'clock or a little latter so I'll be on the lookout to find you guys. What am I looking for? Look for the boat below (All white TR-4 Cole with pink AZ numbers).

Nice looking boat. Should not be to hard to find. What kind of tow vehicle is that in the far side of the pic? Looks like some kind of flat bed.
