A group of beautiful midget (not dwarf) women just walked in.
No pix.

10 AM the place gets packed. Slammed.
Point of sale registers slow down the transactions, but necessary. He’s hired more girls to help speed it up.

Fox’s doesn’t open ‘till 10 AM.

That’s wild. I was there over the weekend. Place is nice, drinks are good, food is good. Just get there early or you will have to get lucky to find a spot for your boat.

I used to have my own drink at the OG RR. “the Billdo”
going to have to work with the new owners to get it reinstated. 😁😁

at least they are adding me back in before I have to make a scene.🤔😂
Billdo is barely a memory anymore...it's now William with an occasional Bill thrown in. Billdo shows up once in a blue moon, then you get William for quite a while.

Stopped by for an ice cold beer, nice set-up, lots of families enjoying the pool. Nice to see Christina again! Dock seems rock solid! Will stop for breakfast later this week!! Those chairs though with no backs could be a drunk trap late in the evening!

Who bought and remodeled it ? Went this passed Sat. What a dump ! They got tiled bathrooms , makes me want to comfortably take a dump. They didn’t even have the OG cockroaches running around , those were snacks for some of us. The floating bar doesn’t even bounce up and down , and have water flood in and cool are feet.

As a kid I shit at the Stanley gas station in Desert Center. You don’t have a hair on your nutsack until you’ve lived that experience 😂
DC Texico - My Dad used to tell me It would be cleaner if you just shit in your own hand.

I never knew really understood what he was getting at because the bathrooms at Echo Lodge were of the same quality back in the day. Beyond disgusting.

Echo was classic. When my parents had a place there when I was a kid we’d be out doing kid shit like riding bikes or stealing beers out of the cooler and drinking them down by the residence beach.

Mid summer and you had to use the campground bathrooms at echo because we couldn’t make it back to the river pad in time.

Hottest, steamiest, nastiest environment in those bathrooms and always full of mosquitos. The fluorescent light bulbs were this nasty yellow light color and they were caked with insects.

I forgot about those bathrooms. Thanks for the memories lol

My dad said: "I'll have to hold a gun to your head to use the DC shitters, then you hold the gun to my head to use the shitters."

I have a thread with a bunch of childhood pictures and most are at Echo Lodge. I'll see if I can dig that up when I get done working.

I may have a few years on you however I may have come across you at some point.

We were all on the A Row near the exit and several are still there. When my parents divorced I was 10 I think. My mom retained the trailer that was kept in the back out by Echo's Dump. She had no way of moving it so thats when my Echo Days slowed way down. Waiting for my Dad and my step mom to travel back. My step mother did not like the motorhome scene much so we started going to Laughlin and would stay in the casino's. Thats how I came to know Lake Mojave and the river below Davis Dam.

My parents were there last week and loved it. They’re purists of the old river lifestyle so I was surprised to hear them talk so positively about it, they loved it.

Topock Tina's.
Coldest beer in town.
Been a few times.

Raodrapers are still good, the new name sucks and will probably boycott the drink 😁
