Thanks for the welcome fellas. I'm usually on the Chaparral site but will be checking in here as well now. Question, how do you get a signature at the bottom of your post? I've went to settings and all I see is to Edit Profile, Profile Picture, Avatar and Privacy. I even been in General Settings- Thread Display Options- and the Show Signatures box is checked but that's just so I can see others signatures, correct? I'm I missing something? Thanks......

I have a 2007 Chaparral 210 and just put on a Samson wakeboard tower last year. I like to go out early and get the glass in the Virgin basin and will hang out there most of the morning. Then I'll go find this group of boaters that are usually at Swallow Cove.
http://www.meetup.com/The-Las-Vegas-Boating-Meetup-Group/
Been hanging out w/ these guys in the afternoon a morning of skiing, wakeboarding and tubing. There was a real nice cove on the Virgin Basin side of Middle Point Island, nice flat beach w/ good sand. But as the water fell the sand got blown away so maybe w/ the water going back down this year there will be some good beach exposed.

I haven't really explored much past Temple Bar but it looks like it's on the "to do list" this year.

Re: calling all lake mead boaters! nevada

Nice pics Skiya. Are you launching out of Callville or one of the marinas on the South end? I've spent some time around Middle point over the years. Boathouse Cove is getting some nice beached back as well as around the point heading up to Echo.

I've been on the Chaparral site. I have one but I'm not a member of the site. Looks like they're getting together at Powell. Sounds like a great time. Are you going?

Dang Skiya, I've seen a bunch of sheep herds before, but I've never seen that many at 1 time, sweet pic!

T -1... AND counting Mother Nature is a sneaky old bird and has thrown some wind into our party, but the nice thing about Tbar is there are plenty of places to hide out. Not like being up in the virgin basin and getting hammered.

12V, mz, funny signs...

I though I should share with you guys that we won ($19 on) Mega Millions............ :facepalm: Going to pick up my haul on the way out to Tbar.

We had 2 - $1 tickets to be split 6 ways in the work pool. Not sure what to do with it. I don't see a need to call a financial planner.

Re: calling all lake mead boaters! nevada

12v, yes I usually launch out of Callville. I will be going to Powell but not w/ the Chaparral group. I got a 3 day 2 night camping trip planned for mid July w/ some of the meetup boat owners. Looks like I got 7 or 8 boats going from Vegas and 2 more boats coming up from Cali. I even got us a discount on rooms in Page for the trip. Y'all are welcome to come if you want.

Fishrdan, that was at Firebowl cove last year and yes, that's the most I've ever seen at one time together like that. Just glad I had my camera w/ me.

Mike, I see you joined the boat meetup group. I guess I'll see you out there soon. By the way my name is Ed.
