Update 2- Lake Powell and Rainbows

HI Friends, Please forgive me for not visiting your blogs...I can't begin to tell you how busy I've been...we had a FAB trip to Canyon Country...and Navajo Land OMG I love it there... beautiful!


Navajo National Monument 



 Well we returned from our roadtrip on Saturday and on Sunday we unpacked, did laundry..and Monday I painted the front of sis's bungalow...it looks super..but OUCH old muscles not wanting to do that reaching, and stretching...so a bit stiff! I recovered just fine tho 


Sis and Jake, she wants us to try out Metal Dectecting...hmmm (Bungalow front where the staining too place) 
and so today I installed a new faucet in her bathroom....like I said before Im sort of very handy--got that from my Dad-- and it works great and its very "hip and modern". 




Does anyone say that these days?? Probably not-- OMG I took so many photos...there is no way to sort them in such a short time..but one good thing sis does have high speed..unfortunately she is still using Windows ME, and Internet Exp. 6.0 so all sorts of bugs..lol BUT I did manage to dump all my photos in my Flickr... 

(BUT Flickr ate my photos in 2020) RECOVERED what I could

 So when I left you last I was about to embark on a trip on Lake Powell...and IT was fantastic...We took the 1/2 trip to the Rainbow Bridge...I would highly recommend that trip if you cant rent a house boat and spend a week as so many do...here are a few shots of my fun on Lake Powell and the Rainbow Bridge...




They rent house boats by the week...Pretty sweet if you can afford it...at the time of this posting it was about $700 give or take.  If you love red rocks against blue water this is the thing to do..



See what Mean!


Here is what you get...

Im digging the water slide,,,

You can cruise right by sights like this one...


And you can anchor, near shore and go exploring 




Or you can ride here get off the boat and go plundering...This is where our half day boat ride took us...


sis disembarks


First look at the rainbow. 


Rainbow Bridge 

Then a storm was brewing so the captain loaded us up for a thrilling ride back..




 We found this guy on the cliff on the drive down to the parking area to board our Boat, I made the reservations a week ahead of time...



  I will blog more about this fab trip in a future post ...

  1. Beautiful shots of Lake Powell and Rainbow Bridge. I'm going on a houseboat there for a week the end of the month, so the preview was great.

  2. That scenery is awesome!
    Superb pictures, and the tenth one down, before the squirrel, would grace anyones wall.
    Love the Lizard too, and the video clip.

  3. What amazing scenery, (and on the previous post too which I have just caught up with) so dramatic, what an incredible experience! It sounds like the holiday of a lifetime. I loved the Lizard photo also. I shall look forward to more!
