Default If you want to cut your fuel bill, get off the throttle

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.


From Temple Bar, we went all the way into Iceberg Canyon, to where you run
out of water. I used to fish in Iceberg Canyon as a kid. It's very strange
to see the lake down so low. We also made a run down to Hoover Dam. Over
the two days, we had a mix of glass-like water and Mead's infamous
wind-driven chop.

If you go to alt.binaries.pictures.sports.ocean, I posted some pics of the
trip. The posting date is 4/9/06.


That sounds like a fun trip. I'd like to see those pics, but I don't
have access to that newsgroup. If you'd like you could email me a few.
