Behold the Face...



This last weekend I went to Lake Powell with Doug, Gretchen, Maggie, Jamie, Katelin, Cami, Bryce, Trent, Kevin and Jacob. What a wonderful time it was. Katelin, Bryce, Kevin and Jacob had never been to Powell, so we went out on a boat ride to show them "Gunsight, Cookie Jar, Padre Bay,...etc." We did however get the chance to go up to "Face Canyon", and to also reminisce about the good times we've had there. It was fun for those who hadn't, but nevertheless, it was still a scenic route for anyone. We approach "Face Canyon" and what do we see? ROCK, EVERYWHERE. We can't even get up to the sand-hill anymore. It is ridiculous. I took some pictures so we could send them to Matt, and so I could post them on here for everyone who has been to "Face Canyon" with my family can see how traumatizing it is to see that the memories we have created there can no longer be, well, created.
No more zip lines, no more slides, no more running up to the top of the sand-hill just to run, roll, or jump down it. None of this will be possible again UNTIL we get more WATER. We are in a DROUGHT people. Lets hope we get more snow this next coming snow season, just so we can have more run off. Luckily enough, the middle channel has opened up. But driving through there its wakeless. And the water has risen about 40 feet. Which is so great...
While we were in the "Face" area we decided to take a quick trip to the "Honey Hole" Now what do you think that was like? IMPOSSIBLE to even get back in there in boat. So my friends and I, and Maggie jumped out of the boat to see if we could swim into it. Yeah right. It was a very long swim, and if anyone remembers what it was like before, with the sticks and twigs, lets just say that we could have made about 100 fires or more with all the twigs and sticks there were. But it was fun and we also got to remember where Courtney found her first LOVE with the news...

"CO AND MO TV"...

Some good memories at Lake Powell. How about we just get the water up and we'll continue them? Cool?
