***NOTE REGARDING THIS WEEKEND AT DAVIS CAMP:  Because of a heavy influx and record numbers of visitors to Davis Camp in recent weekends (last Saturday over 7,000 were present), Mohave County is bringing in additional armed security at the park for this weekend and will have a restriction totaling 2,000 adult wristbands each day: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings of this Memorial Day weekend. Parking and visitor capacity limits will be strictly enforced. The Board of Supervisors passed the measure at a special meeting yesterday by a majority vote.  This will mean a limit of approximately 5,000 people each day (counting children.)***
