TrampsWorld Road Notes #1

Welcome to the very first edition of Road Notes!

The idea is simple: every week we'll share what we've been up to, what we've published, and where TrampsWorld is headed next. Think of it as a quick catch-up from the road.

Summer has officially arrived in Lake Havasu, and Memorial Day Weekend did not disappoint.

Over three days, Randy hit the Bridgewater Channel and London Bridge area to capture the crowds, boats, music, waterfront atmosphere, MORE BOATS and everything that makes Memorial Day one of the biggest weekends of the year in Havasu. And don’t miss out on the bonafide rockhound.

If you couldn't make it out this year, these videos will give you a pretty good idea of what it felt like to be there.

The following weekend took us down the Parker Strip to Pirates Den Resort for the annual Run Whatcha Brung Jet Ski Regatta.

Hundreds of riders, custom builds, stand-up skis, vendors, and river enthusiasts gathered for one of the biggest personal watercraft events in the Southwest. Between the interviews, aerial footage, vendor displays, and nonstop action on the water, this one was a blast to cover.

A special moment from Run Whatcha Brung had nothing to do with horsepower.

During the event, Randy met Samantha and learned more about Shred Like Zoey, a brand created to honor the legacy of Zoey Arizona Johnson.

The personal watercraft community has rallied around Zoey's family, helping keep her memory alive while supporting a positive message through the Shred Like Zoey brand.

It's a reminder that the best part of these events isn't really the machines. It's the people and community behind them.

We'll be following their story and look forward to sharing more in the future.

📍 Williams, Arizona
📅 June 5-6, 2026

This weekend Randy and Dolan are heading north to Williams for the 11th Annual Williams Historic Route 66 Car Show and the Centennial Anniversary of Route 66!

One of our favorite Arizona events, Williams transforms into a rolling car show filled with classics, hot rods, customs, vendors, local businesses, and plenty of Route 66 nostalgia. The cool mountain weather and small-town atmosphere make this event a yearly can’t miss.

If you've never been, now's a great time to catch up on previous coverage:

📍 Pomona Fairplex
📅 June 19-20, 2026

Later this month we'll be heading to Southern California for the L.A. Roadsters Show & Swap Meet.

Hosted by the Los Angeles Roadsters, this long-running event is one of the premier hot rod gatherings in the country. Expect incredible builds, swap meet treasures, vendors, automotive history, and plenty of stories from the people who keep car culture alive.

We're looking forward to bringing you coverage from Pomona.

Whether it's boats in Havasu, jet skis on the Colorado River, hot rods on Route 66, or motorcycles in Southern California, our goal is always the same:

Thanks for coming along for the ride. We'll see you down the road. Ride on.
