Reply With QuoteThat had to be tough to do SofaKing. I use to go out there in a 21' until I upgraded last year. we are leaving Friday morning to be there for eight days along with twelve other boats camping out probably on the back side of Antelope Island.
I just got back last night. The weather was perfect, the water was low, but the perfect temp. Epic week in every sence except one. I sold my 28 Daytona a month ago and had to hang on a 23 Rinker all week wink

Just got back yesterday too. Only one word to describe it...PERFECT! The only hitch was my buddy couldn't handle the heat so he didn't have such a good time eek! ! Be sure all of your passengers load up on the water.
Livin Large, Im leaving fri afternoon through sun.
Dont know where we'll be camped but your camp sounds hard to miss. Look for you on sat.
Hey Deez Nutts,
What are you boating in?
We will be on the water by 7am on Saturday,Like I said, we will most likely be on the back side of Antelope across from the launch ramp with a whole gang of camps by the end of sunday. Most are arriving on Sat, buut some on sun and mon. we should have a minimum of 12 camps set up so you cant miss us.. Come on by and I will pour you a cocktail if you desire. Or soda if pefered.
Well, this is only my second time posting so bear with me...My wife and I pulled last week as we were camping at Lone Rock for about 3 weeks in the motorhome. I have been going every year, same time, same place, since I was 4 years old. It was about the worst it has been in a while. We camp at Line Rock, real close to Wahweap. THe water was going down so fast that we were camping in the mud. Weather was so-so. We had a few storms that lasted a little longer than usual, but other than that, how can you beat Lake Powell. It was a little weird getting through to antelope as the water is so low it is marked as a 5MPH through a 1/4 mile stretch of lake. We ran up to Rainbow, a good 70 mile boat ride each way, and loved every second of it. The walk to Rainbow was a bit longer than usual, but oh well. Gas at the marina was 2.45 gallon so fill up in greenhaven on your way in or hit up Page when you can. Gas in Greenhaven was 1.39 gallon. When your filling up over 60 gallons it saves you a bundle. Well, have a great trip!
Livin large, I'll be in a black 24' commander with a blower.
Sounds like we will be in or near gunsight, just up the lake from you.
I am testing props and some other tunings this weekend so I plan to do a lot of running. If we get early sun in our spot I will be out and about around 7am or a little later. I will make a run down to your area. I will have the only black boat there(i think) so yell me down.
I usually make a few runs up and down the narrows between wahweep and padre bays in the afternoon during the storms. Lots of boat jumps and fun.
Jst in case you didnt know, the antelope ramp is way out of the water and not usable.

I figured as much for the ramp at Antelope. Going through the narrows you can sure catch some air when you want to. I hit a tour boat wake last year at about 50 and launched it pretty good. was trying to get a picture of it but they didnt come out well. and Ultra 1, Yeah, I never get gas on the lake, I pull it out and take it into town. I hold 125 Gallons so you can figure out those savings. wink wink
Livin Large, sorry to bone out on Powell, I'm heading to Havasu. Not driving or taking my boat so no responsabilities= big drink.
If you do see a boat like I decribed it would mean that my wife went anyway. If there is a guy and my wife in the boat, beat the crap out of him then tell her to get home!! J/K
Have fun.
