So what are you doing for the 4th

[Jetskigoodies]

I figure everyone on this forum has a great trip planned, maybe a few guys are going to the same lake and don't even know it.

Lets get some good pics up of our favorite spots and maybe meet some of the other guys on here.

We are headed up to Higgins lake for 10 days. We will have 11 seadoos going. 9 will be x4's 2 will be gs body style.

Camping, guns, fireworks, and beer. Dangerous combo I know!

 

[Jetskigoodies]

As long as it is in that order it doesnt seem dangerous to me.

 

[CReynoldsMIZ]

That place looks like a "bucket list" type place for jet skiers... Hopefully I will be at lake of the ozarks on a long ride.... The lake is 94 miles from one end to another

 

[Jetskigoodies]

It is a great lake, my fiances family has a place there but there are campgrounds on the lake but you need to reserve spots a year in advance for holiday weekends. The campgrounds are on complete opposite ends. South state park is where the young crowd goes and where the party is, the cops are a little more leinent. The north state park is the family friendly campground and they do not allow any shannanigans.

Im gonna be riding lake Erie with my x4s. Were camping at Put in bay starting this sunday. Couldn't be more excited. I guess they call it Christmas in july and its some huge party.

 

[Minnetonka4me]

I am racing this weekend in the 2nd round of the Great Lakes Watercross. We should have a nice lineup of X-4s out there.

 

[Ryan331]

That lake looks awesome! I'm just planning a morning outing at Elsinore then bbq in afternoon, I have to work Friday

 

[Hghgrad]

I used to go to Higgins all the time when I was a kid. Great place.

I'll be on Erie, but here in the Monroe or Toledo area. I was going to try to get out to put in bay for Christmas in july, but can't get the time off work.

Possibly making a trip out to dexter to half moon lake. Nice and smooth inland lake, but it gets a bit crazy with a lot of boats.

 

[Coastiejoe]

I happen to be off the 3rd thru the 5th.

We are looking at jet ski options now.

Lots of parks and resort areas by us. Probably will end up by the Lake Erie islands.

 

[Dr Honda]

I don't have any plans... but I could be up to Erie in about 2 hrs. Where exactly you guys going to be at?? I may leave the fam at home, and come join you.

 

[Strizzo]

we're camping/riding on Lake Ouachita in Arkansas. i've been planning ride routes all over the lake, hopefully the weather is nice and not too hot. Staying at Tompkins Bend on the west end of the lake. Nice thing about it is there are several marinas where we can stop in for fuel if we need to.

 

[Seadoobuddy]

Hopefully I'm not working, (I requested that day off since I worked the past 2 holidays), If off then we will take the boat out for the first time and maybe bring the ski up from the shed. I'm been working 6 days and just getting over a 3 day garage/street sale last weekend and then 3 days of getting a new concrete driveway put in. It's finally getting hot up here but will cool off this weekend thru next weekend ....staying in the upper 70's

 

[Ruskeyjdm]

Pulling the xp and the boat to lake Jocassee in upstate SC for a mini camping trip.
Plan to do a lot of riding and a little fishing.

 

[tshaw]

I had to subscribe so I could be jealous of everyones trips and hope to see some more pics lol. If I go anywhere it will just be local. Blairwill4 im not sure if you have ever been to put in bay but every weekend is a party there. Ive been to many batchler parties there. During the day be sure to go to I think place called mist its a swim up bar

 

[Brian J]

Going to a friends house who lives on a local lake, unfortunately there won't be any water activities involved. The lake is so busy it's almost not even fun to get out and my friend doesn't own any watercrafts. Yep, lives on a lake and doesn't own anything. 3 years ago he had a brand new pontoon, a newer fishing boat and two jet skis.

 

[SilverSS1969]

I'll be up with Jetskigoodies, Jimnut and a bunch of our other family and freinds.

And matt, it's not great of a lake ok?
We don't need that lake any more crowded then it already is. LoL.

 

[Spimothy Leary]

sitting on my roof with about 6 beers and a cigar.

great view of 3 displays from there

 

[harryb]

Shooting off fireworks over our 20 acres of soybeans and waiting for the village idiot(cop) to show up and tell us to stop!! We might have a few beers too. My avatar is a picture of my grandson who will spend the holiday deployed, his second tour!

We have not made plans other than it is something we want to do.

It would be just two of us and my two skis. Is there something between us where we could meet for the day or so?

We could easily spend the night as long as lodging is available.

(I'll bring my goodies and we can install them, dinner and beer is on me)... LOL

The ski won't care... but you won't want to be out in that. Dry heat is bearable... but over the 100 Deg mark, and it's just HOT!! Last time I was out there, and it was over 100..... A buddy and I rode from Big Bend (on stand up's) and got to London bridge, and just jumped off, and stayed in the water, under the shade of the bridge for over an hour.

 

[Jetskigoodies]

The vacation was great but my 96 xp had a very bad time. First day and a half was awesome then

The second day it was running a bit rough so I got on it and at wot it ran good but low rpms it was rough. When we got it back to the cottage we triedto start it and we thought the battery was dead as it did not turn over. We changed the battery and still nothing. At this point we thought it was the starter. So we pull the starter and I pulled the carbs. The diaphrams were swollen and were not sitting right at all. So i thought that was the problem. Nope we tried to turn the pto and it would not budge. Pulled the head and that is what we found.
