Re: West coast/Havasu regulars
Screw that place on the a big weekend, I learned my lesson. But if somebody really wants to go and asked me(at least once) I'd probably do it again!!!!! For everything that is unpleasant about that lake there are ten things I'd like to see again. You just have to figure out ways to beat the system. I launched at Cat Tail Cove last Fourth of July, its 1/2 hour south of the city but it was clean and organized, no waiting what so-ever, but that was after getting screwed at site 6 for four hours the night before. We usually eat breakfast up at Topock, 45 min drive through the canyons up the river by boat, to get away from the crouds but the drive is well worth it. Its almost the best part of the whole trip. So to answer Havasu Hangin's question, "would you go back agian on a big weekend?" in a New York minute I'd go back. Every one I convince not to go there on a holiday weekend makes one less person in line in front of me........ Stay away.........LOL...........

Goto Powell, Mead or Mojave. Havazoo is a mad house on holidays. Expect to pay over $300/night and New noise ordance goes into effect on the Cali side Jan 1st. Az doesn't really have one. Head to Mead or Mojave and stay in Vegas or head to Powell and camp. Last year at Mead we waited for 2 hrs to launch and 3 hours to trailer(Callville Bay), the wait was longer at LV Marina, and it was 113....

Hey FastBoat,
How's it going? I believe the last time I saw you was when you came out to the Advantage regatta a couple of years ago.
I guess your friends want to go through the Havasu Experience. Like all of the others on here, I haven't been going there on holiday weekends for the reasons stated.
Save yourself a few hundred miles and stop at Lake Powell. No hardcore parties...but some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet earth.

You guys are all pu$$y's!!!
All you guys talk sh!t because you are go to Havasu plenty and have gotten sick of the BS on the big weekend. But the BS is normal at any party spot on a big weekend....Come on, everyone should experience havasu on a big weekend at least once in their lives! ESPECIALLY if you're single

Havy on the 4th, is a great time!!
There is more of a family crowd on the 4th than most other big weekends. (not too much rifraf)
Here are my recommendations for an easy going party'n weekend.
Get to the launch ramp early 7:00-8:00ish, hit the channel for parking spot and have a few frosty cold beverages, then off around 12:00 for the mini sandbar for great sights and more frosty cold's, pack a lunch so you don't have to fight any crowds. Get off the water around 4:30 beet the crwds, then do a beer and team wipe down on the rides-did I say more beers.Then let the night begin with your choice of good resturant and bars,
Dam, this is making me crazy, come on summer
I would also recommend looking into the new Hotel in the channel, AGAVE INN, they have a seawall you can park at overnight. Length wouldn't be an issue! good luck
