Lake Powell 2011

This year's trip to Lake Powell has set the bar way up there! We stayed two nights for once and we had great weather for 3 days. High temperatures in the low 80's and low temperatures around 50. Very little wind, lots of smooth water and few other boaters to compete with. The moon was nearly full and so the nights were bright and beautiful with the mesas and towers of sandstone casting a beautiful shadow and silhouette in the background and foreground. Our party consisted of me, Deb, Eric and his friend Sam. Good wake boarders and hikers, but not much for conversation. We found a good canyon to explore near Rainbow Bridge, called Forbidding Canyon. A little scare with a close call on running out of gas, but I was never seriously worried like the others in my party. Hopefully a few more of my children can find the time next year to join us like years in the past. It was sooooo good this year guys!
