We plan to attend. Where are folks staying? and launching?
Staying at Hoover Dam lodge and casino
I’d like to boat to temple bar one day.
Why would Hemingway be a nightmare?
Because Hemingway is the only ramp at that end of the lake , think Site 6 amateur hour . Plus , August is prime time boating for the masses out of Vegas . Most “ Vegas “ people don’t have a vehicle that can make the drive and back to Temple Bar , therefore no crowds ! Notice Vegas is in quotes , I’m being a little facetious …
Hemenway should be fine. We used it all last summer. It’s like 5 lanes now.
The Lodge is as good as any around, especially for first timers.
Just launched my 240 at Hemingway 2 weeks ago, it’s 5 lanes now.
A few of us have Already booked. I’ll miss the Dam Damn Run unfortunately.
We've done the damn run in the past and it was a good time. Haven't taken the boat to mead so this makes since.
Yes we were there recently the ramp is MOBI MATT fairly shallow and all the close parking is all dirt and not a lot of room for large group unless you feel like a nice walk in the heat to park on the non usable concrete ramp area. It's doable also a pretty tight swing around to line up to splash. I have a 24' ULTRA and launched and my truck was up to the back bumper.
so don't attempt to launch in my lowered Silverado?
My favorite spot
To be honest I wouldn't the path to the ramp was really chattering semi rocky . My 3500 4x4 had no problems but a slow role down the path I wasn't to thrilled even with our big truck. They attempted to grade it and drag it with a back hoe tractor
Luckily my boat runs on 87 and BJ’s!
Just go courtesy dock. Way easier. Any slips to fit a 30 are a 4 mile hike haha.You can use my dually. I spoke with the marina today and will get a slip for the weekend. So my truck won't have the trailer hooked up..
Hemingway has the cheapest gas usually out of the three. At least that was last year .
It was nice when we were there recently I was going to put my boat in a slip and they just said use the courtesy dock They weren't charging to use it so we just left our tied up to the courtesy dock that could be a possibility too
Thank you Sir! I appreciate that…my lady hasn't graduated from trailer school yet. Totally down for a Temple Bar run. Really hope we can make this, my lady has a conflict on that Sunday she's trying to work out so we may end up going home on Saturday if we can pull this off.
Do you have to set up the docking situation ahead of time?
Same plan for us. Looking forward to this trip.
Same here.
I’m all for a shirt or two. However, why create more work for yourself instead of just coming out and enjoying the time with everyone. Make it fun for you and Brie, not work.
I dunno. It just came up as a thought in text. I don’t “want to” but I can.
just do like the bass boat (and many others) guys do. back it in tight up against the courtesy dock, pull it off and tie it to the dock, then go park.
