Better than expected. For some reason I seem to get an extra 10 or 20 mph out of his boat. Must be the driver. :D

I have more that I'll reduce and upload to the member gallery when I get a chance. If you see any that you want full size originals of, let me know and I'll be glad to email them to you.
By the way, if any of you other Powell-goers ever see the DEEZ NUTTS out there on the water, be sure to stop by and say hello. You won't find two better examples of how gracious and friendly the extended hot-boating family can be!
:cool:

[fourspeednup]

WOW! Those pics are amazing...I need to make my way up there some time(soon before the water runs out;) )

[welk2party]

Powell is just amazing for scenary. I have to get there someday.

You must teach me old wise one.:D
Awesome Pictures! Can't wait to get out there in the middle of August.:)

[dirty old man]

Really outstanding pictures. Just proves that even at -113 feet there are great beaches and caves that haven't been seen since 1963. Every trip is a new adventure. Lets hope mother nature decides to refill her soon

[HavasuDreamin']

Awesome pictures. I need to get back to the prettiest lake on earth. :)

[Mrs Luvnlife]

Great pictures guys!!!! Absolutely breath-taking!! :)

[beer hunter]

Thanks for sharing those great pics! Powell is by far my favorite lake. :)

[Havasu_Dreamin]

I have got to get there someday! Pray for rain!

[Ducatista]

Thanks for the pic's....enjoyed them. What a beautiful place, nice job.:cool:

[UBFJ #454]

Thanks for posting these pictures ... I was raised on the Navajo and remember a lot of the areas shown from before there was a Lake Powell.

[BonnevilleBaby]

those are just about some of the most beautiful pics of a lake i've ever seen thanks for the tour. Looks like i've just added another lake to the list of places to go and i think i'll even bump it up to the top of the list. definately won't be able to make it this season but will have to arrange plans to be there next summer for sure!!!

Thanks for the words DogHouse! Again, try to make our big trip in a couple of weeks.

That wouldnt happen to be august 15th thru the 21st would it. I'll be out there during that time if so. Could use some tour guides, havent been there in in 15 years or so.

[phebus]

We just got back from Powell today after meeting up with Summerlove and his gang. The trip was great, and the company was the greatest. The Summerlove family is the best you will ever meet. I will post some of our pics when we get back home, dial up in Havasu is just too slow. Deez, we were hoping to meet up with you, but never crossed paths. Summerlove had his houseboat set up in Kane Wash.
Deez, I wish you hadn't posted those pics, I was already going through withdrawls, and now I'm about to seize. Rat bastard! :D

Phebus, I saw a Carrera deck boat headed north near Gunsight on Sat about 10:30ish am, thought to myself "hmmm, that looks like Phebus' boat, I wonder..." Nah, couldn't be. At the time I was following DEEZ NUTTS looking for Summerlove. Guess we should have followed you! Oh well, next time...
DEEZ, I'm still in negotiations about the big weekend. That also happens to be our 10th anniversary and I'm not sure she wants to go to the lake for our special weekend!
:cool:

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Damn phebus, I thought about checking Kane also but didnt. Summerlove asked about some of our spots and I bet you guys where close to one of them. We rolled through Padre canyon looking. Next time we will coordinate better and make a day out of sight seeing.
DrewDown, July 23-25 is our big bash. I am usualy only on the lake weekends so I would be seeing you at the end of your trip.

[DogHouse]

Thanks to all for the compliments, glad you enjoyed the pics. Here's one that shows what it's all about!

It's been a couple months now. A few more are loose too, and some new ones are starting to poke through. Inflation has hit the tooth fairy industry pretty hard since I was a kid...
:D

[checkster]

Thanks .....great pics.
We have never been but it looks like an amazing experience.

Yea, Summerlove (Rick) set up in the back of Kane wash, across from Cookie Jar Butte, right between the two rock islands,on your reccomendations. Basically had the whole cove to himself, very nice!!

[SHAKE-YO-AZZ]

Nice pics I need to do a trip up there

[Mrs Luvnlife]

DogHouse.....what's your driving time from Cave Creek to Powell? Curious....my parents have a house there and we really want to hit Powell and it would be nice to break up the driving time with a nights rest in between. Thanks. We frequent Crazy Ed's and Harolds when we're there visiting :D, we'll have to hook up for a drink one of these times. :)

Mmmmmm, Black Mountain Gold, pretty decent swill for a little local brewery. Sure, just let me know, it's usually not too hard to talk me into going out for a beer and some tasty grub!
It's about 4.5 hours to Page, give or take a stop or two. It's doable for a weekend trip.
:cool:

[Debbolas]

DrewDown, July 23-25 is our big bash. I am usualy only on the lake weekends so I would be seeing you at the end of your trip.
Deez Nuts, when/where is the bash or is a secret? Looks like we will be at Powell from Sunday July 18 to the following Sunday or Monday:D

[King on the River]

Thanks Doghouse for the great pics. They really make me want to go to Powell. Hows the weather out there? compared to Mohave. Is camping bearable? Can you light a bonfire? I would love to boat in. Houseboat would be ideal but I am cheap, I mean on a budget.
Thanks again,
Free4all

[DEEZ NUTTS]

Deb, we don't know yet. Some of the crew are going early to secure a huge beach. They may move a few times until its locked up then make calls. Will be in Padre canyon or Kane wash area. I am not shure when I can look for you on Lone Rock. Maybe early Fri 23 or mid day Sat. If I see you on the water I will be honkin' like a freight train so stop. Then we will board your vessel like pirates and loot your cooler! :D

Free4all, It gets warm during the afternoon 100 or so at this time of year. The water is perfect for swimming. Monsoons are kicking up so a quick rain storm in the afternoon cools it down nice. Great time for a nap, or offshore like boating. Bonfires are manditory. Just resist the urge to light the whole pile of dry tumble weeds in the back of the cove. Spectacular fire, but the Fire dept recived a call of a houseboat on fire. They dont like "code 3" across the lake in the dark. Citation was reduced to "destruction of resources" and a few hundred bucks.

[DogHouse]

Yeah, compared to Mohave, the weather is definitely cooler since the elevation is about 3000 ft higher. I've never had trouble sleeping at night at Powell, but I can remember some miserable hot nights at Mohave!

Yessss....I like the Black Mountain beer :D.....it's real easy to talk me into a beer, we'll holler next time we head that way! :) And that's not bad at all time wise.....in fact that's real do-able....thanks for the info!

[DeepVee]

Fire restrictions just went into place again. OK as long as your within 100' of shoreline.
Powell Fire Restrictions (http://www.nps.gov/glca/News/2004-20.pdf)
Deez, do you guys know what canyon you'll be in for the 24-25? Same as before, Padre, Kane? I'll try to get a hold of you this weekend.

[wishtoHB]

DogHouse- Your boat is looking good, glad you had a good trip to Powell!
Hope to hear the story in person!!!

[summerlove]

Hey Deez...
I was looking for ya! We took your advice and went to Kane Wash, first beach entering the canyon on the right. Nice, large camp. Picked up a few hitchhikers from there - found two dead scorpians in our wash once we got home! Also saw a rattler head down to the lake, head out and perch himself on a rock and then head back home! It was pretty cool, but we kept our distance.
Kane was awesome, less crowded than Padre Canyon. Basically had the entire canyon to ourselves - there were only 2 other HB's in there. We had a great trip and wish you'd have remembered your own recommendation!;)
Anyway, next year is right around the corner!
