[DEEZ NUTTS]

Found a big arch that would normally be under water. Picture doesn't do size justice.

We could have made it through this one with a couple inches to spare but stopped. I have to keep in mind that I'm packin 31' and if it doesn't open up on the other side we are backin all the way out. Had to back out a ways as it was.

The water in this slot was from 40 to over 100 feet deep. If you like the way your boat sounds you have to hear it in here.

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Always wanted to roll some of the big rocks of the hills that look as they would just need a little shove WRONG. 99% of the things wont budge. Now I know and will save the effort.

So whats the story on the water level?Is it going to be brought back up?Why is it down so far.Drought?

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Drought. They say if we dont get big moisture in the next 2 years we are in trouble. Lets see what happens first. Still over 400' at the dam and lower areas. If it does go wrong I'm buyin up big cabin cruisers cheap and selling them across the country.

[Debbolas]

Were the beaches ok?
I found at Lake Mead that the new beaches were muddy up to your knees.
We use to go into little tiny canyons in our 19ft Sea Ray. My job was to use the oar to push off the rock if we got too close.
Don't know if we will be doing this with the 26tf .....
Thanks for the pics!:D

Where is Lake Powell? I see these pics all the time and would love to go there. That is the lake I see in my dreams at night.
Gorgeous!

[PHX ATC]

Next lake up the river from Mead. It starts in northern AZ and about 80% of it is in Utah.

About 9-10 hours from Riverside towing to Page, AZ which is the closest and most crowded area. The Bullfrog, Halls Crossing areas are much less crowded but are about 14-15 hours I guess.

[JetBoatRich]

awesome pictures, looks like a great place to go:D

[Powerquestboy]

Hey Deez, Who is the guy in the maroon and white cabin cruiser in the pictures. That boat looks familiar, like a guy I know from Flagstaff.

[Mrs Luvnlife]

Thanks for the pics, like I say.....you can never get tired of looking at that place, beautiful!!

[Huckleberry]

Nice pics! I wanna go back!!! Once you boat on Powell, it ruins every other lake for ya.

[DEEZ NUTTS]

This is what happens when the wife holds the camera. A memory card full of this crap.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/830102_0233_Small_-med.JPG
Powerquestboy, the cabin cruiser used to be named SOSUME. Do you know who it is now?

[Powerquestboy]

Deez, Got your PM, not the same guy! I know a guy from flag that is at Powell all the time and has that same boat. Great Photos I miss that lake!

where was this beach - we're headed up there the 7th of July till the 16th. I think we're gonna try a camp on the upriver side of gunsight. Hopefully, there will be some there. We camped there last year and found that we were in the shade by 3 each afternoon...here's our beach....

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Summerlove, this was Kane wash. 3 canyons up or east of Gunsight butte. You cannont get into Gunsight anymore. Lots of beaches between Gunsight butte and the wall that separates from Last chance canyon. It has been busy in this area as there are not many beaches up to that point. Try Padre canyon first, stay to the left or west side as you go in. Good beach not too far in with a good cliff face to block afternoon sun. For more privacy stay to the right or east and go back in farther. A sand peninsula with one side exposed to the bay the other a cliff wall with morning shade. Get yourself one of the laminated maps with all the fish on them at the marina. They are far more descriptive that the freebee. I wish I brought mine home to give you more exact info. At the rate I'm going, I'm gonna see you.

thanks, we'll look it up. I have a stan jones map that I've completely marked up from many years of use - I've had to tape it together! I'll get the map out tomorrow and start my planning - I may be back for a few ?'s!!!!;) We'll be on the HB Canyon Ectsasy and my campbell will be there also....July 9 to the 16

Beautiful pictures I haven’t been back to Lake Powel since I was a kid. What does Rainbow Bridge look like now?

Rainbow bridge is still the same except for the fact that there is no water beneath it. You have to walk a long way to even see it. Not like the good ol days when you could just drive up to it.

[Debbolas]

What is Lone Rock Beach like?
I know the water is really low, I am worried that the beaches will be totally gross like the Lake Mead sink up to your knees in mud beaches.
Anyone?
;)

No water in Gunsight bay? That's amazing! I can't believe this area is all dried up! I'd love to see a pic of that today...
http://www.elakepowell.com/freds/mappadre.JPG
On this picture, we were camped at about the "i" in Gunsight Point on the north(or east) side of the point. I like the pic of Kane wash you posted earlier, so I'm definitely going to check that out.

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Summerlove, your spot is still there. I have seen a houseboat in that area a few times. Don't know condition of the beach though. If you drew a line on the map shown from the point of Gunsight Butte strait down to that island in the bay and then to the left it is all dirt. You must boat up to Padre Butte and then double back across the bay to get to your spot. No more short cuts anywhere.
Debbolas, I have not seen Lone Rock since I took pictures of it awhile ago. The Lake is up about 4' since then so the sand should be good.

WOW - can we do the Anazasi rain dance now???? I remember using the gunsight "cut" a few years ago, like 98 and 99! I can't wait to see that!
Thanks....

[summerlove]

Hey Deezenuts:
any more info for us -- one week and counting!

[Evo22]

the pics look beautiful and it looks like you guys had a great trip

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Summerlove, no new news. I had to take last weekend off and wont make it for the 4th. I did see that the lake is down about a foot from the last time I was there. Launch at Wahweap to be safe. Good chance I will be wet on your weekend. I will look for you in your spot and area. Listen for Summerlove on the VHF ch16

Great pic's, thanks. Next time....feel free to throw in a few more pic's of Mrs. Deez while your at it!! (nice work)

[DogHouse]

I'm toyin with the idea of heading up with just my daughter for the weekend, 7/11-7/12. Anybody gonna be around?
-brian

[DEEZ NUTTS]

I'm there 7/9-7/11. Will be dark when I get there tomorrow. Just the wife and I. How far up are you going to go?

[DogHouse]

It's been a couple years since I've been there. Last time we camped in Oak Bay (??) just past Rainbow. Had a sandy island all to ourselves. Water was only down about 50-60 ft at the time, now it's much lower and I'm not sure what to expect. We're open to pretty much anything, no real agenda as long as we can find a nice beach. We'll launch mid-morning on Saturday after breakfast in Page. Hopefully there's still a dock I can tie up to at Wahweap while I park the truck. 28 Kitty Cat can cover a lot of water in a hurry so who knows where we'll end up! Unfortunately I don't have a VHF. What colors are your Formula?
:cool:

This is really a guess, but I'll say no later than 10am, launched and ready to roll. What time are you heading out? If I don't see you at the launch ramp or if I'm late, I'll cruise up near Gunsight and see if you or Summerlove are around.

DogHouse - I'm going to be in Powell in August. Remember we have to coordinate these things now.:D Actually, I was just looking at your signature and my bimini is all white with yellow in the middle.;)

[DEEZ NUTTS]

DogHouse, I will look for you on the water. We have no schedule and will be takin it easy and exploring. MY boat has a gnarly air horn so if you hear 'em I'm chasing you down:D

Oh, no wonder my boat looks so much better than yours! ;)
Actually, I could probably be talked into another Powell weekend, hopefully a time that my wife and all the kids can come along. You going to have a big crew with you?
:cool:
ps: DEEZ NUTS, I pm'd you with my cell # just in case.

[Reaper1]

We'll be there August 15th through the 21st and there will be about 18 of us on a 75' houseboat. We're bringing the party to the lake. :D

[beer hunter]

DEEZ NUTTS, were you up at Wahweep last year around this time? I remember talking to a Formula owner on the ramp next to the lodge about the mufflers on his boat. Could that be you? :)
