Whatever you do, don't bring a boat to Missouri's Table Rock Lake or LOTO... or TICKFAW in Louisiana... You are already stretched too thin amigo...


IF you ever got out on our Table Rock Lake you would want a place there too... I got to spend some time near/around the TICKFAW area one month back and it looks killer...


So much water, so little time...

Thats a tough one. Compared to Ca. Property is cheaper. Cost of living is cheaper. And it has a lake. I think raising a family anywhere is difficult and it has more to do with the parents/family as a whole vs. the environment.

Aside from the obvious, better schools, better hospitals, more expensive drugs, more choices for just about everything, raising your family in Ca. can be every bit as difficult as Havasu or any other resort/vacation town.

On a personal level, I would seriously think very hard about raising a family in a vacation/resort city. Too many distractions and too many opportunities to not do what you're supposed to be doing, like going go school, studying, and doing your homework. At times I remember doing homework because I was bored. If you get bored in Havasu you should have your head examined lol.

I think it's about 400' deep....as I've SAID BEFORE... THEY DROPPED MEAD 150' ON PURPOISE .. they wanted it lower... so they lowered it... lots and lots of nice sandy beaches.. plenty of room to roam around... about 500 miles of shore line

150' aint no joke. Why would they do that?
