Typically for a day trip we go to lake pleasant, it's close enough for
us to go afterwork on a weekday or first thing on a Saturday morning
for a breakfast cruise. If we're going for a few days or more we'll
head to Lake Mead or Lake Powell.


Mine's slipped at Saguaro. I towed a friends boat to Lake Mead two weeks
ago. He keeps it in dry storage at Lake Pleasant. We launched and stayed
at Temple Bar. My boat hasn't been on Lake Powell since Summer 2003.


Last September the family and I went to Lake Mead. We were able to
visit Echo Bay, Temple Bar and Callville Bay within 3 days. We had the
lake to ourselves and the water was like glass so we cruised around at
about 45-50 mph. Of course like topic of this post suggests we paid for
it.
