How Did You Start Going to the Water?

Sounds like we were all roughing it without the modern conveniences of a motel room, or RV back then. I remember launching out of the Springs with our little Glastron CVX 16 and camping on the BLM spots at the South end of Havasu nearly every summer weekend, ah the good old days!
Anyone think they could rough it on the river in July at our present ages?

Been going since I was in my mom's tummy. I was born a river rat I am a third generation. We used to stay at Havasu Springs, miss that place but its changed alot so its not the same as it used to be. Now its just the river.

Grandparents had a place on the strip and my Mom was still pregnant with me the first time out in 1971! Been going ever since but mostly Havasu now.

Spent 4 days camping at Buckskin the last week of June years ago. I Damnear died, never again. Thank God for the river house, it was all Bluewater till then.

My grandparents bought a place at the river a few years before I was born. They had been going for years before that and would camp on the Indian Beaches. So I started going as a baby. I remember back when we would launch the boats and skis off the beach. I think people that did that and still do are crazy! lol

When I turned old enough to drive they would start letting me use the house with friends. I few of us had stand ups so we'd just hang on a beach all day and I always day dreamed about owning a boat. I bought my 1st boat when I was 19 and kinda carried on the tradition. I wish my cousins/ siblings would have also carried out the river tradition, but I was the only one of all the "kids" to have an interest. I knew since I was a kid that I wanted my own hot rod jet boat.

Tent camping was perfect for a buch of drunk college students. If we had a hotel, it would've been too easy to just sleep the entire day away from the previous night's hangover. Nobody wants to sleep in a 100 degree tent in the morning. It forced us to start the party bright and early every morning!!!!!
