Boaters, Bikers, Burgers, and Beautiful Weather …

Posted April 23, 2010 By Julia McDonnell

A FUN place to be this weekend is Lake Havasu City, AZ.

Boating season kicks off with the Desert Storm Poker Run attracting some of the fastest high performance offshore powerboats as well as other boating enthusiasts for opportunities to show off their boats in the street show, channel parade, poker run, and racing.

With different classes exceeding 180mph and speeds expected to reach 200 mph!, the Big Boats compete for ‘King of Desert’ status as ‘fastest boat in the west’.  Spectators have great viewing from the shore or from the water in their ‘smaller’ boats for a little closer view.

A GREAT place to EAT while enjoying the weekend events is the SANDBAR GRILL now open for the season until October.  Located on the island with access from Thompson Bay for boaters and from State Beach if you are driving.

An upright surfboard just inside the door displays the menu of the day which usually includes the popular Island Burger (beef patty topped with grilled pineapple, bacon, swiss cheese, BBQ sauce, lettuce & tomato) as well as other burger and chicken options, fries, onion rings, and chili fries. Also available are hot dogs, chili cheese dogs, chicken strips, and a fresh salad!
These giant juicy burgers are worth the wait of being prepared to order!

Also in town this weekend are motorcyclists attending the ‘Laughlin Run’ about 50 miles up river.

This year, motorcyclists attending the ‘Laughlin Run’ are getting a bonus with the big boat extravaganza along with visiting the London Bridge as they travel either through or to Lake Havasu City from Laughlin, Nevada, about 50 miles up river.
