Looks like a great time was had by all and the youngsters will never forget the experience! Great pics.

My Dad bought a '72 Cobalt 18' runabout when I was a kid and I remember some of the trips like they were yesterday.

My only time on Powell was about 12 years ago, after pulling the old travel trailer through Zion, camping in Page and taking a tour boat into slot canyons.

We then proceeded to Jacob Lake RV park with the intent of fishing before going to the North Rim. I asked the camp host where I could get a license and where's the lake? No lake just a name.

The sign said 1 1/4 mile; however, it was more like 3/4 mile from dock.

We would've have done more exploring via foot/trial but the kids and the dogs (and the blistering heat index) made it a tough endeavor.

Next time, try going later in the summer. Gets cooler and way less wind.
