Lake Powell '08
Here is a recap of our trip to Lake Powell. I thought it would be nice to break up the drive to Bullfrog a little bit so I booked a room on Priceline.com late Thursday night. We left Friday night and stayed in Richfield, UT at the Travel Lodge. When we got there they told us we were in a smoking room after finding out that the room smelled worse than a Vegas Casino we asked to swap for a non-smoking they charged us extra to switch. Well worth the money we thought but that was before we saw a man walking a giant cat with a leash down the hall. Sick!!! After settling into our room we drove all around Richfield trying to find something to eat. Who knew that the entire town shut downs after 9:00 PM? We ate at a podunk little pizza shop then returned back to the Travel Lodge. We watched a movie then fell asleep when we woke up the next morning the power was out, but of course only on our level. So we couldn't even get ready which was the entire reason for staying there in the first place. Megan found glass all over the bathroom floor too. So the trip was already off to a good start... luckily the rest of the trip was great.
Of course Layne was there to make us laugh
Megan boarded better than ever before!
The crew
We pulled up to the boat slip Saturday afternoon and helped load the house boat up for our week long excursion. We stayed in Iceberg Canyon a Carlen favorite for the last ten years.
(This is picture of our houseboat parked in Iceberg Canyon, its a panaromic so thats the same boat in the pic twice)
The weather was perfect hot outside but the water temperature was refreshingingly cool. The water has raised about twenty five feet from last year. The water was full of logs and debris whenever we were in the ski boats we had to have log spotters but luckily we never did hit anything big. A few highlights of the trip were
Water Weenie football
Scuba Steve
We also climbed "Hole-in-the-rock"
