Lake Powell
We initially planned to pick up our kayaks from one source, but when we drove past the business, we felt that it might not be such a great idea. It was a locked brick house with no signs. Next door was a lovely establishment with a great lady working there. She gave us 2 kayaks for two days for $40 (which is a GREAT price).
We got to lake Powell around 12. This is about the same time a thunderstorm came too. We sat on the side of the lake waiting for it to pass. When it passed, we set off with our hats, tent, sleeping bags, and life vests (and other stuff).
The first stop we made was at a cliff ranging from 20 to 25 feet, where we spotted a kid jumping off of them into the water. Without question we joined and had A LOT of fun jumping into the water. After we had our fill of heights and swimming we started to paddle into Antelope Canyon. We got about 3/4 of a mile into it when another thunderstorm started to come in from the distance. We saw it in time and decided to turn around to where we had more opportunity to get onto land. The storm did in fact reach us and both Aleksey and I decided to get out of the lake and take shelter on land.
We met up after the storm and paddled back to land, loaded the kayaks on the hood of the hyundai accent (denting it again and again), and drove to the return them at the rental place.
We ate REALLY well that night. We used an open fire to make steak, peppers, onions, corn and a baked apple.
Now we are about to get on a tour of Antelope Canyon (aka The Corkscrew)
