Thought You'd Never See the Flooded Glen Canyon in Your Lifetime?Here's Your Chance.
See http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/02/science/earth/02cany.html. This link may
vanish after today. It's retrievable in the science section of the NYT at http://www.nytimes.com/ (left side of page) for up to a week. Perhaps a good spot for a paddle trip? -- Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg. N) GMT-8 hr std. time) Obz Site: 39° 15' 7" N, 121° 2' 32" W, 2700 feet (Formerly Homo habilis, erectus, heidelbergensis and now sapiens) Never keep up with the Jones's. Drag them down to your level. It's cheaper. -- Greetings card. Web Page: home.earthlink.net/~mtnviews |

Do a Glen Canyon trip! What type of boat would be best? Something for motoring around the lake, but able to row through the shallows.... --riverman (you got me thinking. No permit required.....) |

I spent a week paddling Lake Powell 3 years ago. We used kayaks, went from Hite to Bullfrog. It was a fantastic trip, beautiful water, great hikes. But, riverman, you...motoring?? Say it ain't so!

When I do Cataract, I always motor out from below Satan's Gut, as by that time rations are running low, and all those miles of pushing with no current are a real killer. Even with the lake down to what it is, once the current dies out, rowing a fat old raft is no fun at all. --riverman |

My mistake. You had asked what type of boat would be best. In a raft, I agree. Have you ever kayaked or canoed Lake Powell itself? It's definitely a great trip. Take care of yourself. Tom |
