Cool stuff :D I feel cheated not getting to vacation at Parker/Needles/Havazoo...
That's awesome!!! My father first took me to the river around this time. I was around 10-12 yrs old.
Thank you for posting that video. Brings back great memories of growing up going to Parker during the 60's. Got to ski for the first time behind a boat at Big Bend, on my 5th birthday. Flash forward to '88, taught my daughter to ski at Parker. She took off from Big Bend. What a thrill to be able to have my daughter get to learn how to ski in the exact same place I did, 30 years before. Just can't buy great memories like that.
Man, that is an awesome story. I actually grew up going to Lake Mohave with my dad after he moved to Fort Mohave. I will still cruise the lake and reminisce on the times I had there back then.Quote:

That's my video Vic. It's part of our family movies from back in the day. Thanks for the kind comments everyone. :)Quote:

Love this photo. I see a wood decked flatbottom, early Hemi power, Weiand dual quad intake, two AFB carbs topped with Cal-Custom scoops, vertex magneto ignition, hydraulic throttle ( likely a Marbet unit ), what look to be Cal-Marine wet logs, Offy 3661 breathers on the valve covers, all of the era and it all works for me.
What's more, the kids are having a good time....family fun.
We are very lucky to have these great memories. Even luckier that guys like Jerry have stuff on video.Quote:
