I posted earlier about a meet at the river or Lake Mohave for this late spring or early summer. Jason and I did a little investigation and found that the river is not a viable location for a meet due to all the restrictions that are place upon the users. The water temperature would also be a minus so Lake Mohave it will be if there are enough to make it viable.

I do have a party boat, jet boat and jet skis so there would be enough boats for a small group. My idea is to take a weekend consisting of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and clean up on Monday at Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mohave. Using all those days everyone could have at least one day on the lake or could camp out and stay for the weekend (there are also cabins available). I have not yet picked a time for this so I am taking a consensus of members to even consider this as an outing for us. I am considering this for late May or early June so that it will not be too hot but the water should be warmer and before the wind usually starts. It will take some time on my part to get all the stuff down there so I would like everyone to answer me quickly so that I can make my plans. I would like to keep this among the members only (it could get out of hand).

DIRECTIONS:
For those of you who may not know where Lake Mohave is or Cottonwood Cove are - Just drive toward Boulder City, turn to follow signs to Searchlight (Needles, Laughlin) on Highway 93, turn left at the sign in Searchlight (Cottonwood Cove Road) and drive an additional 12 miles to the camping area. I will be in the RV area with a sign on my motor home and will greet you there

Rules that will apply:
1. If you drink then you can't operate any of my water craft. You can ride but not drive.
2. You must supply your own legal flotation devise (vest or equal) and you must have one to even ride in a boat. Inexpensive ones available at Walmart or Bass Pro Shop.
3. Children are welcome but must be managed by their parents and will wear their foliation devices at all times when in or on a watercraft.
4. I don't want to be a policeman or your guardian but when using, riding upon, riding in any water craft my word will be law. I don't want any one hurt on my watch.
5. I do have water skis, singles and doubles and all are welcome to use them. Remember that alcohol and water don't mix to well. Your welcome to bring some of your own equipment.
6. Each person attending will supply their own food, drink and camping equipment - I will pay for the fuel to operate all the water craft but may require some assistance filling them up. I will also pay for a boat slip or slips to dock at so daily assistance with the boats will be kept to a minimum.
Lets see Anthony, Mario, Jason MX, Armen, Gill & Annette have commited to coming. I will set the date on my trip to Laughlin and post it in advance so those of you that need to get time off can do so.

OK THE DATE FOR THE COTTONWOOD COVE CAMPING, BOATING AND FUN TIME IS SET. JUNE 6,7,8,9 ARE THE DAYS OF THE MEET. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THERE FOR ALL THE DAYS BUT I WILL BE THERE AND HAVE THE BOATS AVAILABLE DURING THOSE DAYS
More to follow on this trip - now is the time to ask your questions.

For those of you wishing to come to the Cottonwood Cove meet, presently the following are available.

1. Dirt camping at the camp sites are on a first come first serve basis. Can't tell if they will be full. If full you can camp on the day beach we will use as our central point but you are stuck there after dark.

2. There are currently 17 spots open for full service RV spots (I will be in one of these in my motor home)

3. There are small motel rooms available for that weekend if you would like. The resort has no internet connection and rentals are only by phone. See WWW.CottonwoodCove.com for phone numbers.

4. We will have one docking space for the deck boat. Someone could sleep on the deck boat if need be as there is a lot of space on the boat (ask Jason). If there is room at the dock I will park the other boat there otherwise I will need assistance taking it out of the water daily.

5. My partners asked me not to bring the jet skis because of liability if someone gets hurt. So currently there will be two boats available. Jet skis can be rented in Searchlight if you wish.

5. Unless there is a really large turn out, we will leave the dock somewhere between 9 AM and 10 am and boat to a beach close to the Marina. The boat will return to the marina at 1 PM and then just before it gets dark. If you would like to be a boat driver please PM me. This is not set in stone but we do not want to be just ferrying people from the day beach to the marina all day - Let's have some fun.

6. Small children are welcome on the deck boat but discouraged from the jet ski boat. Please see rules in main posting.

There may be a small ($5.00) fee for entering the park. The park service may charge $3-$5 per night to camp at the marina area. All other questions will be answered by PM[/quote]

Is there one among you that can make up a sign that I can post on my motor home showing it's location and center point. I was thinking of a general sign of the banner type that will say:

"WELCOME VEGAS 8 MEMBERS" or something along this line and then we would have it for other meets.

Installed last night inside garage so no day pics... went out on a test run... me like!

flip

Oh, and what ever happened to the idea of us having cards and decals made? my wife knows someone who could possibly cut the vinyl for us... but i need to give them a design... c'mon people warm weather is approaching.

ЯX-8

Hey Mario, I gotta take care of some things today, please let me know if you could possibly come before 1 or latest at 1PM. I will have to hold off on my bumper as well..

Very nice, sir! What did you use to have in the old VR RX-8? Also, when did you the RENESIS part painted, that looks awesome..

flip

Thank you sir... on my old 8 i only had a AFE drop in from Racing Beat. As far as the Renesis... did it a while back..i used the VR touch up paint and did it by hand... gotta put another layer though.

Oh, and I need me some BB touch up for a few nicks i have...

ЯX-8

Is that VR touch up paint from the past car? I wonder what happened to it and who owns it now.. It would be funny to see a person join our club and he owns your old car. Any case, I suck at touch up paint, I had a nick or 2 that I did and it didn't come out as smooth as I would like, but you can't even really tell since the color blends in with the whole car.

Anthony and Gil are the artist types - let's get on them!!!

ЯX-8

If I remember, I will bring some to the meet - I have a tube somewhere and of course Black rules!!!!!!!

Phil's 8

iTrader: (3)

Unless I was day dreaming, he posted some of his art work......

ЯX-8

Never seen Gil, post any type of art work.. Only thing I have ever seen him post is boobies, and more gif boobies. So, you must of been dreaming..

Phil's 8

Come on artist types, pitch in and help the majority of us that have trouble writing our name. If we need a few bucks I guess I'll put it up. Sounds like Flip can get the sign but needs the art.

ЯX-8

Something like this would be cool, with RX8CLUB.COM at the bottom of it..

flip

Yessir... or at least give me the name to call the group (if any)... otherwise, i'm toying w/ a few ideas too...


well... aren't boobies considered as a work of art?

ЯX-8

They could be considered as a work of art, but to me they are more of a toy because you can play with them!

flip

Its all fun and games until someone gets smacked in the eye...

Phil's 8

iTrader: (3)

Yes among the most famous works of art to. I'll take two, skip the wraping.

ЯX-8

Bump my own quote!

ЯX-8

You must play rough if you get smacked in the eye!

DOMINION

Yeah them dam things can take a eye out if your not looking out

ЯX-8

Mario, I gotta leave in a little while, so I think we might have to hold this off until later. Hopefully we can do this over the weekend or whenever you're available. I have no problem hanging on to it for you, I hope it's not a problem..
