REVERSE RIVER RUN 2008
Amigos del Rios
Judy and I wanted to get this letter out early this year to remind all of you about the “20th Anniversary” Reverse River Run. We want everyone to be as excited as we are so mark October 4th & 5th on your calendar and tell all of your friends and family also.
Wait till you see the T-shirts…..they are AWESOME!
The last we heard there were still park models available for rent that weekend. So if you don’t want to camp, be sure to give the KOA Riviera a call at 760-922-5350. Be sure to tell them you are with our group.
Since the price of fuel is so outrageous this is bad timing for the following information. But, unfortunately for all of us when KOA took over they raised the price of camping. In the past we were able to get a break from the company, but KOA’s have different rules and cannot (or will not) bend them for us. So the camp fees need to go to $6.00 a person. Sorry for that bad news and we hope it does not prevent anyone from attending.
The good news is, we are keeping the cost of the evening meal the same at $4.00 per person.
For those of you displaced from the Martinez Lake campground, if you are looking to purchase property Pattie Tinsley has all the updates at www.martinezlakesales.com or for Walter’s Camp properties go to www.walterscampriverproperties.com and Stella will be glad to help you.
Even with all the construction going on, be sure to go visit with Donna and her group at Martinez Lake Restaurant and Bar. They still love to visit with their “old” customers. And for those that have not done so, be sure to take the time to go see all the changes at Fisher’s Bar & Grill. Charlie & Shirley Bush have done lots of upgrades to the bar and store. And as always, both Martinez Lake store/boatshop and Fisher’s store/boatshop are here with all the supplies you forgot to bring along.
Anyone looking to upgrade their boat this summer, or are first time boat buyers, be sure to check out www.hippmarine.com first. The Hipp family will be happy to take care of all your boating needs.
As well as fun, we always want to promote safe boating on our river. We understand there were quite a few DUI’s over the memorial day holiday weekend. So be sure when you are out on the river this summer to have your designated driver with you.
Have a great summer and we will see all of you at 7 a.m. October 4th.
Smokey & Judy
