Lake Powell - 2019

We met my sister Marcia and brother-in-law Mike from Virginia and our friends Kris and Jan from Albuquerque on Friday, September 6^th, at West View RV Resort, a new RV resort just north of Cortez, Colorado. We spent Friday and Saturday night there and the ladies enjoyed a trip to the Cortez farmer’s market on Saturday morning.

We headed out Sunday morning for the 225-mile drive to Page, Arizona and Lake Powell. This was our 10^th anniversary of meeting Kris and Jan at Lake Powell and getting together every year the weekend after Labor Day at southern end of the lake in Page. We started going to Lake Powell in 2001, but back then we always went to the northern end of the lake to Bull Frog, driving there from Colorado Springs.

We got our boat out of storage at Big Water, Utah a few miles north of the Wahweap Campground where we stay on Lake Powell, and brought it back to the camp site.

My sister Janet and her wife Nancy joined us at Wahweap Campground with their RV on Tuesday, for a 5-night stay. We enjoyed lunch in Page on Tuesday at Big John's Texas BBQ.

We took the boat to Antelope Point for lunch with Janet and Nancy on Wednesday, followed by a nice boat ride up lake to Padre Bay.

We celebrated my 71^st birthday on Saturday, September 14^th and Julie made me an awesome Heath Bar cake again this year.

We enjoyed lunch with Kris and Jan on Thursday for the first time at Lake Powell National Golf Course. I don’t play golf, but it looked like a beautiful municipal course to play on. The club house food was really good.  

Last Friday, we all piled in the boat for a trip to Antelope Point for lunch. The wind came up after lunch so it was a little choppy getting back to the boat ramp and getting the boat back onto the boat trailer.

We left Lake Powell with Mike and Marcia on Sunday morning and headed west to Las Vegas for a two-week stay.
