West Coast?

So there are all kinds of east coast and midwest reunions going on. Anybody ever get together on the west coast?

No West Coast love - too far to make it to the meets on the other side of the country.

Sounds like we need a Lake Powell Meet!!!! Or Lake Tahoe Meet!!

there are several washington guys now...Kroundy and I have talked about getting together as well. It would be fun to meet all of you West coasters!

You can count me in!

So West Coast people - list the best lakes to meet so we can pick one and get something planned.

I would suggest Lake Powell or Tahoe - Just because the scenery would make it that much better.   Any other lakes that would be about middle ground for everyone?

I have only been out twice this year :( Gonna hit Lake Mead up this weekend if the weather holds out.

Havasu would be fun :D

Im in, Lake Mead.... Just name the date and location! Sure would be nice to start up West Coast reunion!

In talking with my significant other she talked me into voting for Lake Mead.....
SO LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to get this back to the top.

I'm all in for a Lake Powell or Lake Mead. I have a fondness for Havasu as well. 2015 is DONE, so how about 2016?

Its too late to adequately plan a worthwhile event in time for people to get it on their calendars for the year.

Havasu sounds good - Mead is so low the ramps really suck right now, Haven't even made it out this year. Maybe this weekend :D hasn't warmed up yet and been busy with other things.

Bump Bump - Have been tied up with other things lately and not on here but the weather is nice and ready to get the boat out.

Do we have anybody up for Havasu or Mead?

I have read this post that has been running for years now and there has not been a West Coast Reunion yet. But, I am with Mojo on this, you just need to set a date and make it happen. I see that there are only 11 West Coast people who have posted on this site with BKhallpass having traveled the entire country to events. I ran the numbers in mileage to a center point from the people who have posted on here.

This location is in my back yard and I can not think of a better location for boats our size, for water skiing or boarding, waterfront dry camping (no hook ups), local lodging, home rentals, resort rentals and such. I am located just outside Lake Almanor California. The distances from various locations are Seattle to Lake Almanor 672, San Diego to Lake Almanor 653, Las Vegas to Lake Almanor 566, Salt Lake to Lake Almanor 633, Boise to Lake Almanor 539, Phoenix to Lake Almanor 850. These are all great distances to travel towing a boat. However, the distances points to the fact that lake Almanor is a central location for the West Coast. It is a very popular camping, skiing, fishing location and camp grounds are hard to come by.

I recommend a camp ground owned by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) called Rocky Point Camp Ground. They have first come first serve camp sites which are packed all season long and they also have two group sites that you can make reservations for. One site has 16 spots for trailers/motor-homes and 4 tent only area, pit toilets and no showers. The cost is about $500 a day for the group area. The smaller group area is $350 a day. There is also lodging within one hour or less for those not wanting to camp.

The other group site is a loop that has 10 regular camp sites also water front. I am willing to attempt to make reservations for this location if the group is will to make the trip. Making reservations can not be done until Feb-1 2017 @ 8:00 AM So specific dates could not be confirmed until after that time.

Another option is staying in local lodging and making day trips to the lake as our family does from our home. This may be easier to schedule as lodging would be easier to book by the individual This would allow selecting a specific date that may get booked prior to our group booking. There is lodging in Chester California and in Susanville California. I live in a very rural location and have quite a bit of parking for boats if owners were concerned about parking their boat over night at a hotel.

like most of you we spend our time in the summers hanging out at the lake with friends. So, the more the merrier and we will call it the West Coast Correct Craft Reunion.
Let me know what you think.


I took photos today of the group camp area and the boat ramp and will post them.

J D that is just a gorgeous area would love to go there.

        We are now talking going to Powell next summer the first week in July, We will be renting the big daddy house boat staying a week. Only thing is we put in on the east side I think at Dangling Rope Marina ? and I'm guessing Craig your on the west side? Since I have not been there yet I don't know how far the group will go west.

I have never talked to anyone that skied Lake Almanor, I have driven past the lake.
What conditions do you find at Almanor?   It is very pretty in the pictures.
Any Glass available? It is so far from everything I would think traffic is minimal.
