[jones performance]

I was gonna say I always looked for the 2 buoys and there they are in the last pic so I would say that is it. I haven't been in a long time but here are 2 pics I scanned together when we had a BBQ up there with all our friends, gotta go down on my laptop.
Here we go:

If you want to go to Disneyland I would recommend doing it only with a spotter on the bow and only when the water is high. Now would probably be OK. If it is hot it kinda sucks going so slow through the reeds. I went there once in my Carrerra 257 deck and had no problems. You have to keep the trim up and the bottom is soft with no rocks. It was a cool adventure but I don't like driving and stressing. After all... my name is relaxalot...

the beach where everyone hung out at is actuall farther to the right out of the pic wade posted.

 

[checkrd past]

one of my last trips in there was in the early 2000 during spring break,a couple of boats with college kids a plenty set up a really nice slide . Just as they finished and had 1 run on it the BLM boat shows up and gives them a huge ticket for building a structure without a permit . Totaly bogus

Question.
Can I make it back there tomorrow if I wanted to go???

 

[relaxalot]

Here are some photos of the happiest place on earth. I was with my nephews that day. I had one on the bow directing me which helped alot. I did not hit but was trimmed up high. This was in my old boat. Good times! If I remember correctly keep veering to the right when there are forks in the waterway.

Good luck and take more pics if you go in..

You might need someone to go with you to jump in the water and float the boat across certain parts.

I mapped this out on my LeadNav deal. I'm going to give it a shot

I am pretty sure that is the way we went. It took longer than I thought. It was a great adventure. I think that now is a great time. Not too hot..Have fun!

That's the way I went on my last visit in 2006. Since I got the Ultra have not ventured to that beach. If I had a pontoon, I would do it.

 

[outboardrick]

I went in a couple of years ago in my pontoon, had to walk it almost all the way back out. Very overgrown and shallow.
But the map path is correct :thumbsup

 

[relaxalot]

When in doubt... go to the right..

 

[fishing fool]

Anyone planning on going this Saturday?

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Who ever goes please take and post pics!

Best of luck :thumbsup

[Tank]

Rent a house boat - baking greese and a shoe horn and rush it like that dude did in the channel!lmao

Yeah... Not happening in my v-drive! If someone needs a spotter that will bring beer I'll help out!

Do you remember how long it took? That route says 0.8 miles. Definitely further than I was thinking.

2007 I am guessing by the age of my nephews.

Can't remember how long it took.

IF you can motor all the way, it takes about 15 minutes......if you don't stop for a beer along the way, which has NEVER happened in all the times I've gone :lmao

Man, I'll never forget the time we killed both the batteries on your Carrera by accident, walked/swam it out and tried to get someone to stop and jump start us, in the process knocked the hot wire off the hei so when we did finally get a jump it wouldn't start. Then spent even longer trying to a tow back. 2 new batteries from a shop that was happy to find the coil issue and we were back in business [emoji1303][emoji1303]. Still good times though.

And no, Andreace and Jesse, Amy and Lisa were probably in your boat. [emoji6]

 

[outboardrick]

Did anyone try this over the weekend?

I thought there was two bouys side by side?

 

[fishing fool]

I only saw one. I left my phone in the garage so I could not take any pics.
I'm sure I will be out next weekend and will take pics then.

 

[c_land]

The water has to be high to make it back. It was all sand and no rocks. We had a great day! Stay to the right...

 

[sintax]

I was going to say, its been 10 years since i've been back up in there, and last time i was on a 550 ski exploring around.
