Yeah...Blue Water is along the "Parker Strip." I've been on it several times with my old picklefork Eliminator. Did you know that there is a system of navigation lights for nighttime navigation of the Colorado between Parker and Havasu. There are a few ramps up there but I'm afraid about the wakes an Amphi would encounter from jet and fast outboards like my old one would be disasterous. The river is narrow and the wakes can be really turbulent (and high). We have several ramps here (near Yuma) onto lakes and then onto the Colorado. There are hidden channels through the reeds that are really majestic. They include Squaw Lake (CA side), and Martinez Lake about 30 miles NW of Yuma. There is also Senator's Wash on the CA side. It is a man-made lake to regulate treaty water flows (for the Colorado) into Mexico. In other words we have a lot of water rec areas. By the way, I am a long-time member of the local car guy community and have inroads into stuff like car shows. I am also the area's only economic reporter and have contacts with the Chamber of Commerce. I've thought Yuma would be a great place for an Amphi event due to its location between Phx, SoCal, and Tucson. See http://www.yumastats.com . Too close to u-joints? I'll check again. The car is currently at a shop downtown. - Thank you! - Paul
