Well we ran a Mohave run to Hoover Dam Saturday, might as well take a run to Davis dam as well!

If you have never made the run up from Havasu it is absolutely AMAZING!!


One of my favorite stretches of river! 60 miles each way.

Oh and for those that don’t know..

The riverside actually does have a courtesy dock if you want to stop in for lunch / dinner etc!

We didn’t use it this trip but I was just showing Paul that there is one.

That’s new must be a Matt thing.

We ran from JS to the dam two weeks ago, i hate that run but i also enjoy the memories from being a kid. It’s the blasted jetski idiots from big bend to the dam that just make it not relaxing for me.

We bought at River Terrace which is just south of The Sands just about a year ago and I still haven't had the balls to go above the River Front Cafe. I need to follow someone up one day and get the hang of that part of the river.

That looked like one hell of a run!

Getting to the Avi is easy and very relaxing. There’s one you’re going to F’yourself from there to the new bridge and really only one other obstacle from that bridge to Laughlin. It’s the blasted ski’s that always make me just turn around. We’ve been spending a lot of time up river this year tho. I’d gladly show you the ropes one day up river.

It’s always been there just nobody knows about it.

There is also two docks at the launch ramp you could potentially use for short term.

I’d love to do that run just don’t know anything past jack smith. But more at a 55-60 pace. I’m slow.

Are you on the water. Or across the street. Do you know Eric and Lindy?

I am across the street. We have not met Eric or Lindy. To be honest we have only really met or neighbors on each side of us and one neighbor from down the street. Everyone waves and seem to be nice. l

That's my run at dusk, back to the Laughlin with limited traffic and cooler temps. I like to hang down south until an hour or so before dark and then haul ass back, it's fun as hell...........unless you breakdown. 😫

You can make it a little farther up. Once you hit the pump station on the AZ side that is when the fun starts lol. That starts the huge rock bar right before Willow Valley.

Then you are clear up the powerlines before the AVI...after that good luck lol.

Ive been wanting to do this for years. We stay at AVI a lot, never had the balls to be "that person" and unload where I dont know the lay of the land.

Me and 2 buddies bought 3 Sea Doo speedster 150 Jet boats with the supercharged 215 in them. Going to head there later this summer and run the river to learn the lines.

Between the Avi and the new bridge this is the danger, it’s on the AZ side and at 4 units it’s only about 1-1.5’ under water. Hard to fully explain but it’s just south of the lone palm tree.
