2011 Tige Owners Reunion at Lake Mead VI -Sept. 24th

[Moki]

Will there be free stuff? Because I am not going to drive over 300 miles and pay for all that gas unless I get a free key chain or something!

[Billua]

Echo bay ramp is open.

Is you launch at Callville, expect an almost 2 hour cruise up to the reunion site.

I wouldn't mind that, but my wife gets bored so we will launch at Echo this year.

[TeamAllen]

The Echo Bay hotel is closed. They brought in some houseboats that are tied up to the dock to use in place of a hotel room.

W'ell have to check that out?

[evil0ne]

we will try to make it again this year.

We have always stayed at the echo bay hotel. Not the best in the world but it way better then driving into Henderson every night.

last year a group shows up at dark and plays latin polka music until 3 am right next to us. Lovin' Powell tells them to quiet it down and the guy comes after him with a broken beer bottle. Other than that, the camping has been awesome!

You had to bring that back up didn't you? Just when I had almost put that completely out of my memory.

Echo is open...or at least my buddy who was there recently launched. Water level is rising, so it should not be a problem. Wouldn't surprise me if we get back to the concrete ramp soon at this rate.

Plenty of us camp and as long as some ex-prisoners don't camp next to us, we have a great time. There were 30 miles of shoreline open, and last year a group shows up at dark and plays latin polka music until 3 am right next to us. Lovin' Powell tells them to quiet it down and the guy comes after him with a broken beer bottle. Other than that, the camping has been awesome!

I would have had to say my 45 friends would of visited them if they came at me like that. I don't know of any cop that would stand for that either.

Here's where I got it. I'm glad it's wrong.

I first checked my usual site before I googled it. It doesn't show Echo Marina as an option?

[LovinPowell]

Is overton closed forever or will it reopen if/when the water level rises to a sufficient level to support overton?

[dingleberry]

It looks like Echo Bay Marina is closed. Does anyone know if that will still be the case in Sept.?

If it remains closed, it looks like the only other option will be Calville? What's the word?

Where do you see that? Per the National Park Service's information, both the launch ramp and marina are open at Echo Bay: http://www.nps.gov/lake/parknews/rampconditions.htm

We usually stay further south, near the dam, in Boulder City. Since they are casinos, they are smokey and inexpensive.

I've never stayed here, but it should be a little closer to the action, better quality and more $$$.

Oh Man!! better talk to the wifey and try to plan a trip for this weekend! Does everyone camp? or is there nearby hotels? Sorry for the dumb questions never been to Lake Mead.

Not everyone camps - probably the closest hotels are in Overton, NV. If you want a little nicer place to stay, search for Mesquite, NV hotels, or Las Vegas. They would require a little further drive, though.
