This was mentioned on a couple other threads but it looks like it's 99% a go. Here is some info that was posted on OSO and requested be posted over here.
From organizers:
OK here is what we have so far just waiting for 2 spots to confirm. This is sparking lots of excitement for the business owners everyone that I have spoken with are very excited and very willing to support the run.
Date: Saturday July 24th 2021
Start: roughly at 11:00am
Route: Start-> Willow bay and Marina--> Trinity's-->Hope --> Bayview (lunch stop)--> Bottle bay Resort and Marina---> Ending at Dover marina
I am working on alternative stop spots in case we get a really big turnout.
I know @RiverDave and fam are interested. I'm thinking caravan out of Havasu July 21st super early morning for bonzi run. Get up there evening of 22nd. put boats in water and play around Friday. Run on Sat. cruise lake and hang out (maybe raft up) sunday, pull boats out of water and clean up Monday and roll out again super early Tuesday am, hope Wed evening. Aggressive schedule for travel but I think it's doable.
Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho (less known than Lake Coeur d'Alene which is about 30 minutes south and smaller) has been brought up on RDP numerous times and there's a handful of people that live or vacation up there regularly. If you've never been, I will say, the lake is absolutely stunning (though I may be bias since I grew up going there). Crystal clear water, foresty shoreline, scenery, good people, good food and great restaurants, unmanned and manned islands, they even have floating houses you can rent and it's simple to navigate, etc. etc. We're going to push hard to try and make this. put the wife and kids on a plane and rush it up there.
Maybe we can get a decent size contingency from RDP.
Few pics to give you the idea.
