Lake Powell 2016

This was the second Lake Powell houseboat trip for Trish and me, but the rest of the crew were newbies.  We launched from Wahweap Marina, near Page, AZ, spent 4 nights, had a great time.


The Crew in Last Chance Canyon
Sitting L to R: Lisa, Trish and Ranger, Jan, Elaine
Standing L to R: Mike, Terry, Doug, Junior, Eric, David
And a finer crew there never was!


West Canyon where we spent our first 2 nights


What kind of flower be this, all green and leafy in the desert?
Terry and I hiked to the base of the butte in the background,
saw this specimen along the way.


Happy Hour: it's 5  O'clock somewhere!



We had campfires every night thanks to David, the Fire Master.

We toured Secret Canyon in Junior's powerboat.
I drove the houseboat into this narrow canyon in 2011, had to back out.
Not my fault, the map was wrong.


The 4 kayakers went to the end of Secret Canyon.
Lots of debris there, including beaver-chewed sticks that had
to have traveled a very long way.


How did this circular pattern occur?
Do rocks get ringworm?

Twilight Canyon pond scum fouled the water intake.
We waved down a passing powerboat and they towed us back to the houseboat.
Doug and Junior cleaned the gunk out of the water intake later, no problem.


Where the hell are we?
