KINGMAN – Real Change PAC has teamed up with Arizona State Rep. Regina Cobb (R-Kingman) in the effort to keep the South Cove Launch Ramp on Lake Mead open.
“This is a perfect example of what can be accomplished when we transcend the partisan divide to work together on common ground issues,” said Real Change executive director J'aime Morgaine. “I am thrilled that Rep. Cobb understands how critically vital the South Cove launch ramp is to the Meadview economy, and that she is investing in the fight to keep it open for as long as possible by working to create unified support from the Arizona Legislature.”
According to a new release, Real Change PAC has invited U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Bullhead City), U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) and U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Arizona) to attend the May 21 meeting at 10 a.m. with the National Park Service at the Meadview Civic Association, as federal assistance will be needed for the success of the launch ramp’s continued operation.
Real Change PAC continues to collect petition signatures to alert the surrounding communities to the closure and threat to the Meadview economy. PAC organizer Jack Ehrhardt will be collecting signatures at the “Boat the Lake Parade" in Meadview on May 14 at 10 a.m.
Petitions can be also be signed at the following local businesses: Meadview Gas-n-Grub, 110 Meadview Boulevard, Meadview; Kingman Marine, 3545 Sunshine Drive, Kingman; and Century 21 Highland Realty, 3010 Stockton Hill Road, Kingman.
The signed petitions will be used as a collective voice at the May 21 meeting with the NPS. For more information about the South Cove Launch Ramp petition, contact Jack at 928-727-6100. For more information about the May 21 meeting with NPS, contact Randy Glaser at 760-553-3444. For more information about support at the state level, contact Cobb at 602-926-3126 or [email protected].

Is Temple Bar open ? I heard they were modifying / repairing the ramp

 

[DaveH]

temple bar is closed.
calville bay is closed.
echo bay is about to close.

in other words, Hemingway, just down the hill from Boulder city is the ONLY launch option right now ANYWHERE on Lake Mead.

what a SHIT SHOW the park service and the Bureau of Reclamation have created. while they are trying to lengthen and widen the ramp.....at best you MIGHT be able to launch 4 wide.

police are having to sit at the ramp because fights are breaking out as the line to launch or retrieve can be HOURS long. I personally have been stuck till midnight trying to get off the lake....when waiting till 9pm to "avoid the crowds".

South cove needs a D-8 high track and shove the knob off the right side looking at the lake into the lake to fill in the drop off.

I've been following Don for the last two years advocating for south cove. Glad he's been pushing. absolutely insane there's one ramp to that lake right now. It's like when they sunk that loader last year their egos were hurt
