The weekend of 1 Mar 08, I took off for Lake Powell to see if I could find any way to hit the

water further up river on the north side of the lake.  I wanted to find a place to put-in for our

kayaks, because I want to get further upriver, but I don't want to take a week to do it, and I

don't want to pay the prices charged by Aramark to ferry us up there.  So I did some driving.

But I didn't find anything.  Oh well.  The lake levels are so low that you just can't get close to

the water from any backroads, anymore.  No big deal.  I found some really great views from up

on Romana Mesa.  I was able to look down into both Warm Creek Bay and Padre Bay...places

we had kayaked before.  It was cool just being at the top of the huge mesa that we had stared

up at from 1200 feet below.  I also did some hiking around Warm Creek Bay...the desert can

be so relaxing... So it was still a great trip...the desert can be fun!
