Lake Powell day 2 & 3

Wednesday we took a shorter boat ride to Annie's Canyon. The canyon walls were so high they swept over our heads like a giant covering. The water was so still and smooth. I can't remember where the above picture was taken but it captures more of the feeling of being out on the lake.Thursday was our biggest day. We got up early so we could make a full day of it and travel all the way down to Rainbow Bridge national monument. We made a few stops along the way. Heading up Escalante canyon we made our way through clear creek canyon Davis gulch

Up Davis gulch was this really amazing looking "eye" called Lagorce arch.

Next stop was Hole in the rock where Mormon pioneers drilled out a hole to bring wagons and animals through the canyon. Looking at what was left of the hole makes me respect those people who do such crazy stuff.
Annie's Fannie : )


My favorite was the stop at Rainbow Bridge National Monument. I thought that it would be hilarious to get this shot. We also met an inebriated forest ranger named Chuck Smith. He was telling me how the canyons were formed millions of years ago. He even had pictures of dinosaur renderings and landslides. Before we headed back to Bullfrog marina we went up to Dangling Rope to refuel. After we got back Grandpa told us a story about those in the boat that fueled next to us. First of all lets paint a picture about what they looked like. White trash of the lake, the obese woman was wearing a tube top bathing suit and the man was wearing cutoff shorts that should've been cutoff a long time ago and replaced with an actual bathing suit. The navajo boy who was fueling everybody got a sight no one should ever see. The obese woman leaned over and out popped her bosoms. According to Grandfather the navajo boy high tailed it out of there as fast as he could. I wish that I could retell it like him because the way he told it was hilarious!
