This section seems to be California and Havasu. Just my opinion but the best boating in the world is up in the great Northwest!

Not a bad Idea...

Sounds like a great idea to me as well. There are a number of runs in the PNW

Does anyone have a list of events for this summer? We normally boat in the John Day pool on the Columbia, but would like to travel a bit if there is an event in the PNW.

I'm sure there are other events, but the ones I know of are:

Lake Chelan poker run - http://events.r20.constantcontact.co...&llr=w4sk8ywab

Vancouver Island/Sidney poker run - http://www.sidneypokerrun.ca/

and of course the Hydros at Seattle Seafair - http://www.seafair.com/p/about/seafairweekend

Scream and Fly is always the weekend after Labor day at Crescent bar, and the Puget Sound perf boat Rendezvous is the 3rd week in July in Bremerton.

Running up river to Sandpoint on Lake Pend Oreille
Beautiful river and lake

We hit Priest Lake every year the last week of August after our grain harvest is done. We have always run a tourney boat until this, now I have a boat built for the afternoon wind! Going for cocktails at 50 in two foot chop, can't wait!

Haven't found enough chop to rock the old scarab yet, maybe this summer

I would think Coeur d A'lene would provide a bit of a test from time to time, but maybe not. Idaho in the summer and Florida in the winter?
