It was packed out in Pastie Cove today!!!........... no not really but it was packed with empty beer cans and bottles... kind of sad. John and I decided to paddle up to P.C. today to check it out. Here's a few pics.

There it is... Pastie Cove. The rocks on the left are the ones that everyone jumps off of.

For all our troubles all we found were an unopened Corona and a bungee.

This picture was taken from the other side of the lake looking at Pastie Cove. I cant believe how low it is.

Here are some more pics. It was about an hour of rowing up river against the current and wind to get to Pastie Cove from Rattlesnake Bar. Going back, we just floated and it took about an hour and a half to get back.

That is where we boat but it is rarely down this low. This is the lowest I've seen it since the early 90's. The water level is down about 80' from where it normally is.

92 today at havasu. just pulled the boat out... the channel was packed with nice scenery... we may try to run to topock tomorrow for breakfast if we can find it.

Just an Idea, how about us poweboat guys organize a cleanup project out there and see if we can get a little press. Itis might help the clementine deal too:idea:

That's funny you say that, I mentioned the same thing to John yesterday. It's really sad how much trash is out there and most of it is right in Pastie Cove. Not only would it be nice to get some much needed good press for us hot boaters but we could probably retire off of all the bottles and cans.:D
Count me in.

I'm in on the idea too and definitely willing to go pick up some bottles and cans. As Grads mentioned, there's enough out there to retire off of. Not so sure about rafting up there again...but for a good cause I guess I'd do it again. There is also a road that gets you to the north side of Pastie Cove and then all we'd have to do is wade across the river (its really a stream right now).
-
I have a little zodiac with an outboard we could use to run up there. Also I know the sports guy from Sac bee. I wonder if he could get in hooked up with the right person? Hmmmm, ..............;)
A club name or some sort of association of power boaters might be good too. Not too sure about "pastie cove racing team", LOL.
-
before I would invite the press I would go clean up between 75-90% of the trash. that way it does not get turned into boater destroy water ways.

I agree we need to have a club name and that the words "pastie cove" might not go over well as much as I'd like our racing team;) get some pub. Maybe we could call ourselves "Friends Ultimately Caring about Kayaking"

As Grads mentioned, there's enough out there to retire off of.
That and a few more bullshit lawsuits and you'll never have to work again!!! :idea: :D

Hey Jordy, since you always seem so interested in what Greggie and John's Period are doing...how about you come up to Folsom and help clean up Pastie Cove with the NorCal group? We can all have a few drinks, get to know each other outside of this ***boat.com world and maybe make nice. There's a lot of trash to clean up on the lake and we could definitely use the help. Let me know.
-
Jordy why dont you shut the hell up, tired of your mouth. Grads you and John out together in a little boat together is definitly a deliverence sceen. John you out at folsom picking up trash with a trash bag makes me ill knowing you have a boat with a skeleton holding a gun and fliping off everyone. Grow some balls before I kick you in yours. Jordy say something and I will kick you in yours too fagget.

Let me know when. I'm kind of backed up for the next few weekends, but beyond that, I'm pretty free. How far is Folsom from Napa as I'm working on another trip there as well. :)
p.s. I'm really not that interested, other than the little internet grabass game you guys were playing in regards to the top secret lawsuit and stitching on the seats and ha ha ha. You two giggling like little high school bitches and then trying to make it disappear was enough to "interest" me... Especially with the gaggle of PM's that I was getting in regards to said secret lawsuit :idea:

Hey Jordy, I think there might be something wrong with your signature line as the pics and links to teamturkney.net are showing up as red x's. Either that or my laptop is going nutty. Thinking it is probably my laptop but thought I'd let you know.
ps, something else weird is happening. If you quote your post # 28 there is an extra nice p.s. message from you that is not showing up in the original post. dang laptop problems.
If you're serious about helping with the clean up work, I'm serious about accepting your help (I hope the rest of the group is okay with that) and we can move on from the petty internet crap and make nice. PM me your number and I'll give you a call when I know more about the clean up plans.
