Seem accurate to you?

Havasu
1. Hundreds of toons and RV’s sitting in sales lots.
2. Very few boats in the water or being towed around town.
3. 5 tables of people at Red Robin

AVI/Bullhead
1. ZERO boats in the cove
2. 6-10 people at the pool

California
1. Ain’t nobody leaving Ca.
2. My 4.5 hour drive was 6.5 hours sitting in traffic
3. Inland Empire construction is massive both residential and commercial.

Oatman/Kingman
1. All those snagged toothed freaks living in trailers are Trumpkins.
2. DT hates those same illiterates that love him.

Lot of empty trailers at Windsor today in Havasu.

One big RV/Boat lot on way into Havasu. Not naming it on purpose. When I drive by - wonder if they will still be in business this time next year. Can’t imagine the overhead they carry. Yes, all the lots are stocked with new pontoons though.

Heading back to inland empire tomorrow for my construction job. 👍

Didn’t try Olive Garden but the Human Bean was good. Did see a lot of River Whips stickers and one RDP sticker. Gas was pretty pricy and the roads were shit.

Drove through Sailing Hawks and it was very over rated. Oatman had better value.

River was packed today and is still very busy. Laughlin had a crap load of boats and lake lice as usual as well.

That’s weird, I went through Laughlin and it was dead. 🤔
I was up there for about 6 or 7 hours, there was also a HUGE and I mean HUGE gathering from Cali all boaters for an event, I think it was at Catherines, Tropicana Casino was packed with the group in and out all day boating and the parking lots were packed with trucks and boats. I would think it would be getting dead now with schools starting again but who knows. We are just about to jump in the water in front of the house and boats are coming by every few minutes heading back to their base.

Harrahs looked like Venice Beach and the gambling was like Circus Circus.

Did a last minute spur of the moment trip last Sunday for 4 days didn’t see anything different than usual and I haven’t been to havasu in 4 years. Mon was nice Tuesday was epic. River water is still cooler than the lake and our family isnt a fan of the human bean.

Lots of kids go back to school Monday. I bet Labor Day will be packed.
A lot of AZ started this past week. Where we are at (cave creek) is this coming Monday. Mak's pre-school is the same..starts Monday. Would agree with you on Labor Day. This has been a weird year for us...I think I've maybe put 8 hours on the boat total which is crazy. I'd say it only left the garage 1 out of every 3-4 havasu trips...when its Hot AF..id rather just sit in the pool.

Humm, let's see here last weekends:
I'm sure the heat kept most people home.
Saw my old Boat, 29' Nordic twice in two weeks, rare for most people.
There was a line out to London Bridge Rd. Friday @Winsor Beach by 9am (other source, neighbor that came by to rob Beer)
Red Barron Pizza had a decent crowd.
Azul Agave have a 30min wait. I took the last seat at the Bar ;)
Cigar Bar was almost full on the weekend.
In the early am I'll see ALL the Boats going north up the river to sit in 72deg water. Viewed from next to Sailing Hawks.
Gas stations are full.
The Marina had a line to the McCulloch Blvd.
Sand Bar packed upper and lower as well as the new Sand Bar just N. of the Main.
Sorry no report on the Channel, please check the Live Feed.
Safeway packed.
Other friends out with large groups.

To end, the OP could be my old neighbor 🤔

Update. Just went by Windsor. Trailers parked all the way to the top. There are spaces available, but for a Sunday afternoon. Pretty busy.

Yesterday was one of the busiest days on the water I have ever seen. Riviera parking lot was full. The sandbar near the river mouth was packed..

First class rv up the street from my house seems to have less rv’s than last year. I talked to Trevor and he said sales have slowed, but service is still packed.

The new foundary restaurant is absolutely bad ass and at capacity everytime I’ve been in there.

As for trumpkins etc.. the bait is weak.

Speaking of Trumpkins I hear the place in Golden Valley has great pizza. I only pass by it at least every other week and I never had time to try it
