| Quote (RIVERRATMIKE @ July 03 2004,3:39 pm) | Man Lake Havasu right now is going nuts. I've been listening to my police scanner for about 15 minutes now and they are popping a crap load of people in the channel, thompson bay and many other places. This is great listening in to all the action!!!  |
A tipical long weekend!.

They shut down Copper Canyon and the Sandbar, but the channel is still open. It was closed down twice during Memorial Day due to CO levels, as I understand it. Probably same thing today.
It's just too "gonzo" out there on big week-ends for this ol' fart.

Dangerous CO levels force 3-hour closure of Channel
By Gary Weiand
Sunday, July 4, 2004 10:19 PM MDT
Bridgewater Channel was closed for nearly three hours Sunday afternoon due to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Even after it reopened, a fire department spokesman said that there was a strong possibility that it would have to close again before nightfall.
Frank Foti, Lake Havasu City Fire Department battalion chief, said that carbon monoxide levels climbed into the hazardous zone by 3:15 p.m. This led safety officials to close both north and south ends of the Channel, he said, preventing additional boats from entering the waterway. They reopened the Channel at 6 p.m. when carbon monoxide levels returned to good, he said, but whether they stayed that way for the night depended on nature.
"There was no wind so we knew readings would go high," he said, "and if we don't get some wind it could become hazardous again in a short period of time. We're watching it."
Foti said that three hazardous zone readings taken at 10-minute intervals trigger a closure.
Some visitors said that temporarily closing the Channel was necessary.
Kimberly Desrosiers of California said that the carbon monoxide levels were definitely unhealthy.
"The gas was making me nauseous," she said.
Karen Heitmiller of California said that she has been visiting the Channel for years.
"I think it was kind of a good thing. Last year there were pollutants in the air and the water. Your lungs hurt and you felt like you couldn't breathe."
"The bad side is that our boat ride couldn't get in to give us a ride to dinner," Heitmiller said.
Her sister-in law, Lisa Heitmiller, agreed about the Channel area's air quality.
"Last year you couldn't breathe - it was like a fog out here. You could see the fumes in the air," she said.
Arturo Bernl of Los Angeles said that he found nothing to complain about.
"It's a good thing. We've got a lot of beer, a lot of girls, and a lot of life," he said.
