Lake Powell trip, the good and the bad




Yep, we went to Lake Powell with 10 other couples for 5 great days. The good news is that we had a blast. We only knew 2 of the other couples (one was Cindy Kellis, one of Robbie's BYU roommates, and hubbie Kevin, and the Fishbecks who own the houseboat and who we'd met on previous trips).

Here are some pics of the event.

The first one is of the whole group in front of the challenging Sand Hill climb. The second photo is of those who went up the first time, (yes, Bill is sucking in his gut for the photo op), the third one is Bill's last dive before the bad one.

The last dive was on Monday the 22nd at about 12 noon. It was an easy dive but, upon entry Bill somehow "dislocated his shoulder"! Not good...30 min drive by boat to the marina, (thanks to the nice Kemptons for taking us), then some scary paramedics and an ambulance ride...and interesting Dr. (he asked about my inhaling rat feces and getting the Roda virus, then we told him to look at my shoulder and he realized he had the wrong room!).

Finally, it got re set with the help of some lovely drugs...Then back home to Alpine.

We will go again...just no more cliff diving for Bill!
