Dinner & Drinks at the Boulder Dam Brewing Company in Boulder City; socializing into the evening at my place.

MONDAY:

Hike 5 miles to the Hoover Dam after a continental breakfast at my place (10 miles round trip) on Monday (MLK Day) morning and do the Power Plant Tour if it's running.  

OTHER DETAILS:

The campsites at Boulder Beach CG in Lake Mead NRA are first-come, first-served.  At this time of year you won't have any difficulty obtaining a campsite for yourself, or to share.  If, after this event is full (must have 8 people total), and there is interest in obtaining a group campsite for everyone to share and congregate around a campfire, I can facilitate this reservation for the group and it would definitely be cheaper for everyone attending.

If you are only interested in attending a portion of this event, please let me know when you RSVP ... I will do my best to coordinate and accommodate .. but, no promises.

Directions

The Boulder Beach Campground is where you should plan on camping as it is perfectly central to all the activities.  My home is located right next to this campground; the cycling trail runs right through this campground; the hiking trail to the Hoover Dam runs right through this campground ... it's the place to stay.  The address of the Boulder Beach Campground in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Boulder City, NV (just outside Las Vegas) is 268 Lakeshore Rd, Boulder City, NV 89005.  My address, phone number and directions will be provided privately to anyone who signs-up for this event!

Alrighty folks .. I have not received the fee for the kayak trip that I requested a month ago from any of you. I am no longer holding spots for anybody until I receive the fee. This is a fee that I have already paid and will lose if anybody bails. Call before you send your check. Guy 323-493-0104
