We camped the day before and got to the Ranger station before it opened. There close to 100 people from all over the world stood in line. They only gave out 10 permits and 4 went to a group from Norway and 6 went to a group from Germany. Having driven all t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-421817.html I blogged for a while until Ken called. The truck is fine it was just the fuel filter. Must have picked up some bad gas. While he was waiting he met an olersquo guy named Gary. He was having work done on his vehicle. He started talking to Ken or more likely vice versa He owns 16 acres near the North Rim and is trying to sell it. His wife died 6 months ago and he is so so lonely. He has fam http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-418662.html Ken got up earlier than memdashhe has an 8 am appointment to get the truck checked out make sure it is OK. When you pulling 6000 lbs behind you you donrsquot want to break down. I got up around 730 and now Irsquom sitting outside drinking my latte. Itrsquos 87 degrees already but Irsquom in shade so it is comfortable. The view of the lake is so pretty. There are a few boats on it alr http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-418225.html In the middle of the night I woke up feeling sickhellip.I think its something I ate. Needless to say I didnrsquot get much sleep. Feel a little better this morning. Had my latte and nothing else. Ken ate cheerios. We took our time packing up. We only have 125 miles to travel today to get to Lake Powell. We will definitely come back here. A great place to come to get out of the hot Tucson summ http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-418180.html We began a 7 day houseboat trip on March 19 on Lake Powell in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. I was looking forward to this trip because the plans were to spend the majority of the time in the Escalante arm an area of the lake I'd never seen. We camped the first night near the Cookie Jar formation in Padre Bay then three nights in Willow Creek in Escalante one night in Oak Canyon and http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-385166.html We've looked forward to today. Today we enjoy a morning boat ride on Lake Powell. We opted for the Navajo tapestry tour. This tour covers Navajo Canyon and Antelope Canyon. The rock formation that looks like a tapestry is our destination on Navajo Canyon. The narrow lake passageway is Antelope Canyon. In the afternoon we'll head on down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. There we'll enjoy the s http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-341395.html Der var en masse muligheder for vandsport men da priserne var totalt latterlige valgte vi at kajakke lidt rundt i soeen. Vi lejeder derfor to kajakker for en hel dag og kastede os ud i projektet. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-308734.html Vi var faktisk en del dage foran vores tidsplan...saa vi tog 34 dage i lake powel ved byen page. Det er et stort omraade hvar en daemning har lavet en stor kunstig soe hvor tusindevis af amerikanere og lidt internationale turister tager op og nyder en masse vandsport og flotte dale og andre spaendende ting. Vi har stadig en dag tilbage her i lake powel saa billeder fra den fantastiske antelop http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-308727.html Just a short note to say that we have now been travelling for 250 days and Carol and I are still speaking Carol has been absolutely fantastic and a real trooper.Still in the Wid West and thought we'd just put some pics together for you all. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-301035.html So then a 5am start and watching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon.... complete contrast to yesterday which was HOT this morning it was COLD with a capital C... Clare is whittering in my ear that it was bl00dy freezin' no language for a lady I knowThe sunrise was nice but the Canyon still appeared a little washed out... still got us up early quick brekkie in the canteen and then off to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-272959.html Had quite a bad nightrsquos sleep last night due to all the loud snoring going on in the bunkhouse. We all got ready and got in the van on our way to Bryce Canyon National Park. But it was quite a long drive so Jon took a shortcut through a dirt road called the lsquoGrand Staircasersquo which is closed when there has been rain anytime in the last week lucky for us there hadnrsquot. The ro http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-267613.html We woke as normal and packed the trailer ready for our relatively short trip to a place called Lake Powell. We first stopped at a small Navajo market which was located just off the side of the road but in the middle of nowhere. We looked through the small stores full of hand made weapons and jewelry. I ended up buying a wristband made from dried seeds I also was looking for something to send home http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-267610.html August 1820st We arrived at Lake Powell on August 18th after a 4hour drive from Bryce. The trip was fairly uneventful. We passed right by Zion and I mentioned to Joe that maybe we should add that to our trip. Although we are having an amazing time I think all of us are looking forward to some routine when we land at our new home.We are staying at the Wahweap RV Park at Lake Powell. I learne http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-194654.html Visited Monument Valley a few days ago. Baking temperatures but enjoyed a hair raising jeep tour with a Navajo Indian Willie from the Redbottom tribe only realised the pun a few days ago. Anyway we went on this awesome tour and saw some amazing monuments. Willie was a great guide and we were able to get out of the jeep to hike on some of the Mesa's where we saw cool arches and circles. I http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-182912.html We had been told that Lake Powell was well worth a visit and as Steve Jo Tom and Ollie have the name we ought to visit their Lake. We have booked in for 3 days. We sorted our life out laundrycar washshopping etc. The best part was definitely buying my Kate speaking new cowboy boots and wearing them for an evening at the local steak house they are so woonnderffffullll. Enough of thath http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-133491.html Lake Powell Glen Canyon DamOnce we had made the decision to head for home it was all go All of a sudden we had to have everything arranged for the rest of the trip in just a couple of weeks. We were glued to our computer screens in the computer room for hours on end trying to arrange accommodation and flights. The SUV and trailer sold quickly which was a relief We sold our trailer on ebay t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-113863.html Hi We made it to the Grand Canyon. We stayed near Zion again last night in the town of Springdale. It's a nice little town with a good coffee shop. There aren't any chain restaurants or fast food in the town which is unusual for this area. This morning we drove from Zion to Lake Powell Glen Canyon Dam and on to Grand Canyon. We stopped at Horseshoe Point and hiked out to the river. It w http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-97467.html Today I drove another group of lucky buggers to Page for a rafting trip. But then I continued on to Lake Powell and made a lucky bugger of myself It is so nice there White sandy beaches warm blue water and sunshine Just what I needed to make a few hours seem like a few minutes. I went to Lone Rock Beach within the Lake Powell National Recreation Area. Lone Rock is named after the... ahe http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-82925.html I left an expensive raincoat on a bus somewhere in South America a couple of months ago. I left a favourite cap on a bus in Rio a month ago. I left way too much many at the roulette tables in Vegas a few days ago. And I left my soul in Lake Powell the first time I visited it many years ago. This time I left the tooth that was pulled in Buenos Aires there as well. I'm not sure whether this violates http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Arizona/Lake-Powell/blog-64571.html
