So my buzzer on my alarm clock goes off.... 330... IN THE MORNING! I am not a morning person, nor do i pretend to be! But for you to have a day planned on the lake tends to need some to prepare! So we get ready, the sea-doos are already hitched onto the 4 door and from my knowledge the 20 footer boat is already docked into a slip in the new Antelope Marina...  so why I ask is why I have to get up so flippin early! To get a good spot my uncle tells... "sure"!!  so off we all jump int...

Friday-  Woke up early and wandered around to survey the area, since it had been dark upon our arrival.  Our campground was right near the Wahweap Marina on Lake Powell, right on the Utah/Arizona border. In fact, it was only about 200 yards to walk to Utah from our campsite.  Took some pictures at the Marina, the water here is very low.  You can tell by how far down the boat launch ramp you can walk, how high the water had been at one point.  They are re-discovering t...

We arrived at Lake Powell and set up the Pop Up. It was at this time that I began to cuss anew, our stop in Dillon. When I had opened up the pop up to get something I flipped on a light. This switch had the ability to turn on two lights, either one at a time, or both at the same time. I chose both at the same time. I was happy I could just find the switch. Light One illuminated the floor of the very enclosed, unpopped,  camper, so I could find what I was looking for. Light Two did nothin...

California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Mexico

Headed out around 9:00PM from Orange County,CA making a stop in Las Vegas for gambling. Arrived at Zion National Park in Utah with no sleep at around 7:00 AM. Spent a couple days there, then headed to Bryce Canyon National Park to find it snowing. From there headed through Lake Powell to Flagstaff for a couple nights and a day trip to Grand Canyon. Then south to Lake Havasu for time on the lake with friends/family. Home by Saturday night after a week long trip in time to start school on Monday!

Antelope Canyon was the best. Some of the original "Planets of the Apes" was filmed here.

In the 1940s and early 1950s, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation planned to construct a series of Colorado River dams in the rugged Colorado Plateau province of Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Glen Canyon Dam was born of a controversial damsite the Bureau selected in Echo Park, in what is now Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado. A small but politically effective group of objectors led by David Brower of the Sierra Club succeeded in defeating the Bureau's bid, citing Echo Park's natural and scenic ...

De Glen Canyon Dam (bij Lake Powell) is wederom een prachtig stukje techniek waardoor er weer een heel dorp ontstaat. Bij Lake Powell wilden we een bootje huren, een speedboot. Helaas was alles verhuurd, we kwamen ook vrij laat aan moet ik zeggen en het was op een vrijdag. Jammer want het zag er wel enorm aantrekkelijk uit. Dan maar verder rijden. Achteraf misschien toch nog gelukkig, want nog geen drie uur later hingen er donkere wolken en men zei dat er een ‘storm’ aan kwam. Renate had ...

Besides travelling the world, I also believe that the place you call home can hold some of the most expectacular beauty if you know where to look. This is the case with the US, 50 states with as much to offer as any country in the world. East coast to west coast, north to south, it is as different as night and day each with their own unique culture. There's something for everyone here! I offer you a very small peak of my incredible journey through this land I call home!
