Quick Lake Powell Summary Awesomeness (Now with Pictures!)

For the last week I have been at (and in) Lake Powell for the first time in my life. I didn't know quite what to expect although I have heard so many good things about the lake that my expectations were considerably high. I spent the week laying out in the sun and jumping into the water from a very nice houseboat with a group of friends and Allie Robinson's family, who the houseboat belonged too. Their generosity was obvious when I was informed that not only would I be invited to come on this trip but that I would not have to pay a dime for any essentials like food and fuel. Knowing me that was the best combo I could have ever asked for- fun and free.

I had a blast just kicking around in the water, riding the jet-skis faster than my car can go, and even getting up for the first time on a wakeboard. I look back on the trip and think what a wonderful, relaxing time I had and how Lake Powell withdrawals are already setting in after a mere two days. I also think that my first experience at Powell has set the bar way, way high for me. So much in fact that I don't think any trip will ever compare.
Reporting much tanner than before,

Here are just a sliver of the pictures I took:

Nice photos, Chad! I've still never been to Lake Powell. Needless to say, your photos make me completely jealous. :) Let's hike soon! I was up in Rock Canyon a little while ago and was almost bitten by a rattlesnake! Yikes!
