We got into Squaw lake around 10:30 friday morning, and set up camp:

Then loaded up the boat and the skis, and hit the water!

It was a bit cold with the wind, clouds, lack of sun, and rain, but hey – we were “ON A BOAT”! What could go wrong?

From River April 09

We headed over to clear lake to chill out and drink a few beers, and pretty soon the clouds started rolling in!

Even though it started to rain, we kept drinking and riding, figuring the weather would get better at some point!

(It started getting COLD!)

We stopped back at camp for lunch, then loaded up again for a nice cruise up river (this time with warmer clothes). Kelli warmed up next to a couple of hot dudes:

I was “ON A BOAT LIKE LEO”

We were heading back to camp near dark when we found a boat full of seamen that were stranded (The ignition cylinder had broken on their craft and they couldn’t get it started) so we towed them all the way up river against the current to fisher’s (whilst partying the entire way)

The girls started drinking more to fight the cold…things started getting rowdy:

When a couple of Apache Indians were sighted on the horizon (Jon and I climbed a random cliff in order to jump off it, unbeknown to us it was covered in extremely sharp volcanic rock! This led to a strange walk known as “The Apache Dance”)

John had to rearrange a few things after the jump

Kevin and his crew rolled in to camp around midnite on friday, and we hit the sack. Got up the next morning to a beautiful day!

And decided to get some riding in. Clear Lake was pretty empty, so we did some decent wakesurfing.

This pic is out of order, but god damn what a beautiful sunset we had that night!

There was a few random sightings of “2 Dudes 1 Wave Runner”

And we spent the afternoon doing what we do best, partying!

And enjoying the beautiful ladies relaxing in the sun!

We then discovered “Vagina Rock” and a few brave souls decided to make the trek up to it to see what was inside. Little did Hecker know that a swarm of bees awaited him and stung his ear pretty badly!

We learned a lot about teamwork:

And Kelli showed up an entire group of dudes by scaling a 50 foot cliff in 2 seconds and jumping off of it in front of them!

From River April 09

We had some lunch and some liquid courage

Before deciding that we were as brave as Kelli, and climbing the rock ourselves, bringing a tow rope along with us to measure how high it really was:

Everyone survived, and we headed back in toward evening so we werent stuck pulling the boat out after dark again. Ran into a few technical difficulties with the wave runners, so Eric and I enjoyed a nice sunset tow whilst drinking some Ice cold CL’s.

We ended Sat night with a lot of drinking, eating, and laughing, with Grillmaster Kel grilling up some awesome pollo and brats!

So we got back in town yesterday from the 2008 Hipp Marine River Rendezvous, and it was an awesome time!  There were a good 10 WBSD members out for the trip, and the good times were in full effect.  Myself and Dani rolled out around 6pm on Thursday night, Gary, Chad, Jenny, Steve, Ryan, Mike, Metis and Steve were already out on wednesday, and Evan and Jamie headed out friday night.  

We showed up around 10:15 on thursday to find Gary, and Ryan pulling up to meet us in a golf cart, and had already been celebrating for quite a while.  We unloaded at the trailer and headed up to the house to start the party as well.  Some beverages were enjoyed by all, a game of human Jenga was played when Jenny passed out, and Gary played about 15 hours of Wii Fit.  After a late night offroad golf cart ride, we passed out for a couple hours of sleep before getting up to wakeboard Friday morning.

We hit the water friday morning and got some decent sessions in – the water was glass and there was no one out other than us and a few border patrol agents doing training.  We rode for an hour, then pulled out the wakesurfer, which was awesome until I took a pull and Gary plowed my boat onto a sandbar.  Some damage was sustained (I think ALL of our boats sustained quite a bit of damage this trip – the DBG Kayot, M&M’s Calabria, and ours as well).  Thats the risk you run when running the river I guess.

We had a meeting with the Hipp Marine staff around 3 on friday, and figured out the plan for the Rendezvous on Saturday.  We (DBG, WBSD, and Wakesports) were to man stop 5 on the rendezvous – which was basically to camp out at Ferguson Lake all day.

We headed out to Fergusons around 8:30 am on Saturday and got up there to some pretty decent water.  A few boats were out riding, but it was pretty decent conditions.  We anchored the Kayot with a flag up for people to see, and then took a few pulls behind the Wakesports Pro-V 2.  People started showing up after a couple hours, and then the party got started.  By 3pm everyone was up there, about 15 or 20 boats just anchored up, blasting music, and partying.  It was a great time!

Headed back to Hidden Shores and showerd up before dinner and awards around 7pm.  A few hours of laughs, drinks, and nicknames (Mercury Mike, Slingblade, Tubs, General Really Good Guy, Gumdrop) and then we dispersed to get some serious partying done.  It was  a late night, when we finally wrapped up around 3am…the morning came too soon.  Everyone packed up, hit the road, and we stopped by the Roadhouse Cafe in Yuma for some ribs before the long drive home and starting up the week again on monday.  

After work today…I miss the river!  Looking forward to helping Hipp Marine out next year at the 2009 Rendezvous!

A bunch of WBSD members are heading out this week for the Hipp Marine River Rendezvous out at the Colorado River.  We are staying at and around Hidden Shores, and from what I have heard about that place – it should be a great time.  I haven’t attended their Rendezvous yet (They started it with the first one last year I believe), but have heard awesome things about it.  With about 10 or so WBSD members going, I have no doubt it will be a great time!  Stay tuned for pictures and stories as I’m sure we’re going to have plenty of both when we get back on sunday!
