Lake Powell 2008

Jed and I went to Lake Powell this last month with our friends Mark and Amy and their Family. It was a lot of fun! I've never been to Lake Powell before, so it was a new experience for me, but i really enjoyed it. We spent the whole five days boating and eating and more boating. I don't have a lot of pictures from the trip because my camera died after only a few pictures. The most memorable moment on this trip definitley was when we were down a canyon wakeboarding and we ran out of gas! People had been down this canyon with us all day.. until we ran out of gas and we were stranded. We all jumped in the water and a few of us took turns hooking the boat to our life jackets and pulling while the rest either pushed and kicked in the back or took turns paddling with the one paddle and knee board that we had. We actually made a lot of progress like this and after two hours, we finally found a house boat that let us borrow some gas to get home. Thanks Mark and Amy for inviting us! It was a fun trip!

We all hiked up to these Indian Ruins in the middle of the day. It was cool to see the houses they used to live in, but it was so hot! It made for a more difficult hike than any of us thought!All the friends that were on the trip.. Me and Jed, Mark and Amy, Andy Cook and Brandon Marchant. Andy left his wife home working so Brandon came to fill in the extra spot.
The view over where we hiked from to get to the indian ruins. Beautiful view!
Jed showing off his mad skills wakeboarding! He is getting really good at jumping the wake, and he even does a board grab now!
