Cool pics AZKC,
How often do you make it to Havasu?
Oh and by the way,
Hodaka Rules!!

Usually only once a year but may have to do a few more trips since the southern lakes dont seem to want to fill up with water and ones that have water get pretty packed with lake lice....

AZKC, great shot of Lake Apache. used to go up there all the time in the mid to late 80's. you are right it is quite a tow to the lake. used to take over three hours from Tempe. It is still the winding, steep dirt road into the lake? But the water was great. We used to do a 5 day long weekend over Memorial Day. Would get a minimum of 5 to 10 boats, and all the dogs, kids, etc. and have a blast. The skiing was absolutely great. How is Pleasant since they deepened it. I never cared to much for it in the past. Thanks for the great memories. Cliff

Vitamin Sea,
Yeah the road still stinks once it turns to dirt but they have improved it some heading in from the Valley of the Sun,from Tortilla Flats they did some paving, on the Globe side they put in a new road all the way to the Young turn off just before Roosevelt Lake which right now is a mud hole only about 11% full(which translates to about 110-120ft of water). I've been going to Apache pretty solid since 1978 its gone thru some changes but it really is kinda still the same.
Glad you enjoyed the pics,
KC

AZKC, I've been frequenting Apache for several years now with a bunch of my friends from Tucson that have been going there since time began. I bet we've parked next to you at party cove and not even known it! Here's a shot of my buddy's Kachina and my Cheetah in the background at Apache. We'll all have to hook up next season and swap Apache stories!

Hey AZKC,
Got the pics, thanks alot. I would say our boats are the same. Mine has plexiglas windows that went forward, and a bowrail. Like I said earlier I completely rebuilt the boat ($12,000) worth back in 1995. I changed the windows to lean backwards aswell as cut the walk thru at the seating area to angle to the front of the boat instead of towards the back, alot easier to make access to the driver seat. I don't have any digital pics or a scanner anymore. oh that reminds me I sold the boat to a friend last week for $5000.00. My wife said I sold it to cheap. sorry everyone I have gone to the other side and bought a Wakeboard boat from Moomba, yes I am hating myself for selling my squirt, but the new ride is real cool and rides awsome.

iparky, yeah mine used to have windscreens facing forward as you described and my bow rails are back on.(wanted more stuff to wipe down)....
Doghouse, if you were in party cove after 9am I was usually to hammered to see I usually try and tie up across from the diving/jumping cliff by the big rocks gets alittle to LOUD back in the cove(If its too loud your to old, OK I'm old). My 454 is dead and at the machine shop. Back on the water in the spring see ya there...
DH shot ya a 5 for being a member of the Apache Lake Hill People...
