This is a finger between the San Juan and Oak Canyon, trying to find my map to tell you. This was at the end of it, nice sandy beach. (this was 2 years ago)

Lake Powell is.......................LOW.:(
It is low compared to the original level, but isn't the level going up each year since they decided to start filling it? I was told it is going up compared to three years ago..
Is this true?

Make sure you take a dull pocket knife with you when you're out hiking around. You never know when you'll have to saw you limbs off with it to keep from getting stuck under a boulder..........:eek:

Hiker Aron Ralston Cuts Off Own Arm to Survive
May 2, 2003
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - With no water and as little hope of survival, Aspen mountaineer Aron Ralston, 27, used a pocketknife to amputate his own arm and free himself from a boulder weighing 800-1,000 pounds that fell and trapped him for five days in a remote desert canyon in eastern Utah.
Pinned in a 3-foot wide slot canyon near the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park south of Moab, Utah, Ralston cut through his own arm below the elbow Thursday morning, applying a tourniquet and administering first aid before rigging anchors and fixing a rope to rappel to the bottom of Blue John Canyon and hiking out to meet rescuers. Ralston had been hiking alone when the boulder fell and pinned his right arm as he was moving through the narrow slot last Saturday afternoon, according to information from the sheriff's offices in Emery and Wayne counties.
"Ralston cut through his own arm below the elbow Thursday..."
Ralston told rescuers that on Thursday morning he realized he would not survive unless he took drastic action. He had run out of water on Tuesday.
Search efforts that had begun Wednesday evening yielded no signs of the hiker until he walked out of the canyon with two other hikers at about 3 p.m. Thursday. Ralston was taken to Allen Memorial Hospital in Moab where he was stabilized before transport to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., for surgery.
The episode marked Ralston's second brush with death since February, when he was buried in an avalanche while backcountry skiing in the Colorado Rockies. Ralston, an avid outdoorsman who has climbed 49 of Colorado's 14,000-foot-plus mountains, was buried up to his neck in the avalanche, managing to dig himself out along with a completely buried skiing companion within 15 minutes.
Ralston's pocketknife amputation was not the first in the region. In October 1993, Colorado fisherman Bill Jeracki cut off his leg at the knee when two boulders fell on his leg while angling alone in a remote canyon stream. Trapped and yelling for hours, Jeracki made the decision to sever the limb after the weather took a turn for the worse and he became concerned for his survival. He used hemostats from his fishing kit to close the severed artery and vein, then crawled a half mile back to his truck and drove to find help.

Lake level is getting a little higher each year in the last couple of years. However, the weather man say's we're in for a dry winter because of the La Ninya:confused: , not sure on that spelling:confused: .

Nice pics. Thanks everyone for sharing. It's on my short list of things to do. We haven't gone yet because our boat is not Powell-friendly (20 foot jet boat). But eventually we'll get up there.
Although, now that I've been told how much it sux, I might not go at all :D

Don't let the size of your boat scare you off of Powell.
I've taken our 20' jet there for years. It can get rough, just like Mead or Mohave, if a storm comes up.
Just be smart. Pay attention to the weather, carry some extra fuel, and you can really enjoy the lake.

That will never happen. You have to make a few turns here and there to find it. Way to complicated.
Havi suffers from the "Easy" factor. Right turn on 95...all done.:D
