1st annual Southern Nevada/Utah Cool weather Tige reunion

[talltigeguy]

I am considering heading up a Tigeowners reunion for folks near Vegas or Southern Utah. I had a disc taken out and my surgeon says I am good to go by Halloween, so for me the best time will be early November. That is not a very family-friendly time of year, but would be nice to put a face with some of the names on the board, and do a little cold weather riding.

I was considering the following:

1. Some wakeboarding and surfing
2. An opportunity to see other Tiges and their stereo setups etc.
3. I might be able to twist some arms at Boats of Nevada and even get a group test drive of an RZ2, or another 07 boat.
4. Barbeque

2 locations should be considered:

Overton marina - That time of year the Lake is nearly deserted and the water is usually calm, clear and glassy. It is only an hour or so from Vegas, so even guys from out of town could come to Vegas for the weekend, take in a few hours on Lake Mead and get back for more fun in town. It might be easier for the dealer in Vegas if he is willing (I probably should have talked to him about this first, but I fully understand if he is unable). The water is usually still over 60 degrees that time of year.

Sand Hollow - This is about 2.5 hours from Vegas, 5 hours from Salt Lake City. The reservoir is also deserted that time of year. The sand dunes are nearby so you could wakeboard/surf and ride 4 wheelers the same day. The water may get a little chillier, my bet would be mid 50's depending on our weather.

These thoughts are mostly off of the top of my head, so input would be good. I'm sure that I can get Lovin' Powell to show up.

What do you think?

name the time & place and i'll be there! boats of nv isnt doing a reunion this year. so i'm sure you can talk him into it.

I would be in. Isnt there a holiday early november? I would not bring my boat as it would be a long drive from So Cal to Havasu to get the boat, then on to wherever. I would vote for Overton.

[delongheavyhaul]

we will have room for ya jim!

[TeamAllen]

I'm a possibility for the Overton Arm.

[wlfnvegas]

Overton is my weekend play ground - I'll probably be there anyway. Sand Hollow kinda peaks my curiousity though......

[Moki]

Sounds like a lot of fun! Keep me posted on any details. My vote would be for Sand Hollow.

THis was Lake Mead December 02. Water was still 62 degrees that year. It looks like we may not have much interest. I'll bump this thread occasionally to see if we get a few more bites. Sounds like we might have 6 people so far:

Talltigeguy,
Lovin' Powell - I haven't talked to him, but I know he wants to and he is out there.
heavy,
Jim,
WflnVegas,
Moki?,

I know, my mom taught me too not to arrange meetings with people I met on the internet, but don't worry.

I think if I can get just a couple more it would be worth contacting Matt at Boats of Nevada. I would like to hit him with the idea that he will get good exposure for this, then I think that he may be more likely to come.

Don't worry, there's only a remote chance NICKYPOO will show up and no chance either I or tequila will be there

[LovinPowell]

I'm in, name the time and place. As long as it doesn't conflict with USC vs Notre Dame, on the other hand anybody want to buy my tickets?

[chpthril]

Do you have a date(s) in mind, I would love to come out. Are boats still baned from carry on luggage though?

[xpjim1]

Boats are ok but you will have to drain the fluids

[Bog]

talltige, dont forget us fellow UTES up here in SLC!!

[scootc]

We'll try to come out. Keep everyone posted on the where and when.

[talltigeguy]

Bog,

I think it would make a nice part of a weekend trip for folks coming from SLC. Compared to what you have that time of year, you may just want to wear trunks only. I'll turn the heater on for you!


I think that I would be talking about November 4th. Will firm up that detail soon. That week is USC at Stanford. USC vs. ND will be 11/25. Could you imagine how much those tickets would cost if both teams were undefeated at that point?
