TOPOC MARINA

THE COLORADO RIVER DRAWS LOT’S OF BOATERS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER TIME.  THEY COME FROM THE VALLEY OF THE SUN, PHOENIX, AND FROM CALIFORNIA TO ENJOY THE RIVER AND THE LAKES.

THE OLD TOPOC MARINA WAS A STOPPING PLACE FOR THE BOATERS TO EAT, DRINK, AND GAS UP. A FEW YEARS AGO A NEW PLACE OPENED JUST UP RIVER CALLED PIRATES COVE. IT WAS NEW, MODERN, AND THE PLACE TO BE ON THE RIVER.

THE TOPOC MARINA WENT DOWN THE TUBES. NEW OWNERS STARTED FROM SCRATCH. THE RAZED THE OLD AND BUILT UP THE NEW.

YOU CAN GET TO THE TOPOC MARINA BY CAR, MOTORCYCLE, SCOOTER, OR BOAT FROM THE COLORADO RIVER. BOAT WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO…….

OR STOP AND GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND DRINK:

OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING TO BEAT THE COMPETITION UP RIVER AT PIRATES COVE, SO THEY ADDED A POOL.

DID YOU NOTICE THE TRAIN IN THE BACKGROUND?

NOW THAT BOTH PLACES ARE OPERATIONAL THE RACE IS ON. PIRATES COVE ADDED ZIP LINES ACROSS THE RIVER, AND TOPOC 66 IS PLANNING A FANCY HOTEL.

TUNE IN TO TOMORROW’S BLOG TO READ ABOUT THE DRAFT BEER AND SMOKEY EATS AT TOPOC 66.
