    dam site is nice they have some new bed and breakfast rooms that overlook the lake and have slips for your boat if a enough of people want to stay there i know the owner and can get some smokin deals on rooms. they have a nice inside/outside bar that usually has a band on the weekends
    Sweet! That sounds like the place to hold a gathering like this.

    The water is way up from years passed. They cut the outflow with water still coming in pretty good, I live on the Rio Grande. The Dam Site is good, the only problem is that it is a "healthy walk" down to the lake. Plus that area of the lake is real rocky. The Margs. are killers at the bar as are the nachos. For those who want to keep their boats in the water I would suggest either Lions Beach or Longs Point.
    For those who want "civilized" camping there are state camgrounds above Lions Beach, some of the best around. They have water and electric hookups. I stay at the Quail Run campgroud which is one of the state campgrounds, just to the south of Lions Beach, it has 50amp service. Because the lake is still below max. it's about a 1/2 mile to a mile from the lake really flat walk. I usually put my boat in the water when I get there and rent a slip at Marina del Sur for $25 a night. Also there are a lot of good camping beaches up the lake.
    We'd love to have you all come on over. I'd also be more than willing to help corridnate things on this end. Any one needing more info or wanting me to help, give me a call. My office # is 505-344-8277.

    Yep, That's her. Have had her going on three years. I usually only go out in the early AM at the Butte. Gets to crazy later on. Only at the Butte four times last year. My ex-son-in-law was a "dick head" when I took it down with them. My daughter and he are just getting divoriced and she got custody of their Glastron, so I'll be spending more time down there this year.
    Also, spend some time up at Navajo. Like to fish the San Juan in the AM and take the hot rod out in the PM. Lot less crowded.
    WOuld like to get a big group together in June. Keep me posted.

    we came out and ran the last race of the year 7 years ago that was held in november----really enjoyed being with the dragboat club there, and meeting some wonderful folks----remember that most everything was done in the mornings as the wind blew in the evening----really can't remember where exactly we stayed, but most of the local racers camped on the beach

    BG, That's why I usually only go out in the AM. Usually to much wind and to many people in the PM. The races are usually done by noon. The Butte is a great place to play and party. We in NM look forward to all of you coming. Anybody have a date in June?
