Lake Powell - 2008

Our trip to Lake Powell this year was for 11 days. It was a long trip, but certainly did not feel like it. It was a great way to unwind. Emily elected not to wakeboard, kneeboard, etc, but did spend a ton of time in the water. Jake worked on his wakeboard skills, he is really improving. We read, ate, slept, wakeboarded, explored by water and land and then we ate and slept some more. The stars were great - the moon was waning then waxing while we were there, so plenty of stars to see.

This rock face was 20-25 ft. Someone had left a rope tied to a big bush, so we decided to give it a try. Going up was definitely easier than coming down!
