Lake Powell 2013

[TeamAllen]

I never knew about the restaurant. Thanks for the tip. I feel like I've been missing out all of these years?
We are headed up on Wednesday.

[talltigeguy]

I will be there from August 7-10.

I think I know TeamAllen's secret hiding place, but won't be up the lake too far since this is a short trip for us.

Will likely get there in the evening of the 7th, take the houseboat out on the 8th for a couple of nights.

[TeamAllen]

We are talking about going to Face Canyon this year. One of the previous owners had a great week there, so we will scout it out. It would save a lot of gas if it works out. If not we will head to the usual spot.

[canuck]

We are usually in one of the canyons in Last Chance Bay or in Wetherill Canyon.

Not sure where we will end up due to the low lake levels this year.

I like being close to Dangling Rope marina cause the family would prefer that I decimate the bathrooms there every morning vs. in the house boat.

So my daily routine is to go over there early every morning. Fill up the boat, get some ice and use the facilities.

[TeamAllen]

Dude, that is funny right there!!

That is our usual spot, in Wetherill Canyon. What dates are you going to be there? We might see you there? We've been there for the last 5 years consecutively.

Has anyone else stayed in or been to Face Canyon?

We usually like to stay deep into the canyon like where it begins to wind around like a stream.

Most likely we will not be there this year as I am not sure the water is deep enough to grant access deep into the canyon.

We will be there all next week.

I am thinking of trying the two canyons before Wetherill. They are not as deep but wider.

Here is where we have always gone, except once we went up Last Chance Bay, years ago.

Here was a video my daughter took going deeper into the canyon. You might recognize some of it?

One of the other owners usually goes to Grotto Canyon if there isn't already a boat in there.

We were there in July 2011 also.

We beached in the canyon just before Wetherill as we had 4 houseboats in our party and couldn't find a large enough beach in Wetherill.

July 2011 the lake was really high and we took the same trip deep into Wetherill on our jet skies.

Funny but I recall seeing a houseboat quite deep into the canyon.

We take off on Saturday so keep your eye out for a red 22i with a Canadian flag.

[TeamAllen]

Will do. The pie will probably be gone by then.

Well our pies wont last past the first night.

We are always at Powell the 3rd week of Sept. We always try and find a new spot each year since this will only be our 4th year going. We are thinking about trekking up to Oak Canyon this year. We did Rock Creek 2 years ago, and Last Chance this past year. Any thoughts on Oak Canyon?

[TeamAllen]

Wow, I think you will be the pioneer on that one? I had to look it up and see where it was. I've driven by it, but didn't even know it was there. Could be an excellent choice?

[Bruizza]

I think it might be one of those high risk high reward scenarios. Luckily my buddy leaves 2 days before us so he ends up doing all the scouting etc... He then sends us the gps coordinates and we cruise to the spot and beach our houseboat next to his.

Sorry I-90 then I-82. We cut the corner thru Oregan then thru Idaho.

I actual prefer this drive over the drive to LA thru I-5.

Watch out for the Oregon state police. They are like flies on **** when it comes to speeding tickets! That state has to make up for no sales tax somehow.

For those that plan on going to Lake Powell this summer I highly recommend Friendship Cove.

It is at at buoy 34.

Normally it had no beaches but with the lake level so low lots of beaches have been exposed.

Just spent a fantastic 7 days there.

Best site in the last three years at Lake Powell.
