Wahweap Campground, Lake Powell, Page, AZ

We moved on to Lake Powell on May 7 and stayed at the Wahweap Campground near Page, AZ. The Utah border was about 100 yards from our campsite, so Terry had to be carefull where he fished because he only has an Arizona fishing license.


It was a beautiful site. From our front door, we had a view of the lake and some of the huge houseboats that were "parked" in the lake. There were lots of rock formations all along the lake. Some, like this one, was part of the view outside our front door.




The houseboats were amazing. There were some that were 75 feet long. To get them in and out of the water and move them on the roads, they had to have a semi-truck with pilot cars in front an back. So, once they are in the water, people leave them there all the time. They have big marinas where they are docked and people use them as their RV's and camp in them, even while they are docked.


We enjoyed riding the motorcyle a lot back and forth from the resort to the campground and all around the lake. On Thursday morning, we left the Condo at Wahweap and drove into Page to meet the girls that evening. We went through the St. George Temple while we waited for them to come. Then we all stayed in a hotel until Jill, Sarah, and I left at 3:00 am to head to Las Vegas to catch a plane to Hawaii. Terry went back to Wahweap and enjoyed some peace and quiet until he left for Pleasant Creek Campground in Mount Pleasant, UT, on Monday, May 14, where I will meet up with him when we get back from Hawaii.
