We went to Powell Friday, July 17 and stayed until Saturday, July 25. We loaded three houseboats on Sunday, July 19 and spent the week camped at the mouth of Gunsight Canyon. The weather was extremely hot and windy. The water conditions weren't what we were hoping for as wind chopped was prevalent most of the time. We usually go to warm creek where water conditions are usually optimal, so we're wondering if it was the location or just the year that produced subpar water conditions. Anyways here are some general pics, I've posted sport specific pics in other folder (ie surfing, skiing):
Google earth pic of our location, the water level is much higher now and most of that land mass out in the middle was under water.
Don't try to outrun a Powell storm, seek shelter:
We always care a spare 5 gallon gas can in the boat:
My wife strapped a mini basketball hoop to the side of the houseboat here is some of the action:
a more tame game of horseshoes:
Face Canyon:
Sunrise:
Our three houseboats:
Sunset, (picture taken from floating toilet near face canyon):
Sky Ski:
8 months and counting:
I like this picture, it's like someone turned a spotlight on the mountains in the distance:
and finally, oh what a relief it is:
