My friend Frank Kaplan and I had been hearing about Lake Mohave, between NV and AZ south of Las Vegas as a winter windsurfing/foiling alternative to Baja destinations for a while. Due to COVID concerns, we decided not to go to La Ventana this winter, and instead planned to sail at Mohave Lake for a couple of weeks. I'd been monitoring the weather down there, and an early January departure seemed reasonable for predictions of good northerlies.

Frank left a day earlier than I on 1/9 so he could buy a foilboard in the SF Bay area and visit his Dad in Walnut Creek on the way down. Purely for the sake of adventure I decided to follow the quick route that Rick Martin uses to get down to Mohave. That's Rte. 93 right on down through Nevada from Twin Falls Idaho. I sent emails to friends and family and posted messages to NW Windtalk throughout this trip about what we experienced. Here are these posts with pictures.
Typical crowd on a good day.
