Lake Powell Trip Report

[E.J.]

Embarrassed that there was ZERO cigar smoking, but it's still a pretty epic trip.

The houseboat and mine in the background.

Looks awesome bro!! I love Powell, water level doesn't look terrible. Great digs also! Looks like a very fun trip, minus the no cigars :sl

[E.J.]

I know Mike..... The Houseboat was a friends, I would have been the only one smoking, so would have felt obligated to go a bit away from the boat to do it. Just felt like it was going to be more work that I wanted to put in. I do wish I would have taken 4-5.

Obligatory shot of my boat....

[Remo]

Take a chair, sit on beach, smoke and whiskey! Damn bro!

[Adriftpanda]

Looks like a lot of fun.

[pnoon]

Nice pics, E.J.
Made wish I was there, too.

[Porch Dweller]

That looked like it was a damned good time!

[CRIMPS]

One of the greatest vacations of my youth was renting a house boat on Lake Powell. Thanks for the pics. I need to plan another trip, soon.
