Brent: Many thanks for the pictures. Those are for sure some great shots. Looks as if I missed a real winner of a trip. My loss for sure. I have had an opportunity to travel with 4 of those boats in my home waters of the Cumberland River in the Nashville/Mt. Juliet TN area last April. Great folks. Great boats. Great time for sure. Thanks for the pics.

Got home last night. Wonderful time!! Thanks for posting the pictures so quick Brent. Great assortment of people, c-dorys and scenery you captured.

After posting 6 pictures it wouldn't let me do any more. If someone can find out why, I'll post some more.

More good pictures & memories, thanks Joel. Still chuckling over your stories.

Thanks to you too Dixie. I imagine you took more of those pictures than Brent.

Finally found out what I was doing wrong, so was able to post a few more pictures.

The Lake Powell photos are spectacular! Those Ribbon Canyon Campground images are especially amazing... how did you get those boats in there unscathed? Any of you participants want to enlighten those of us who have never been to Lake Powell with a tale of that particular campsite? I am more excited now than before (is that possible?). Thanks for sharing those images with us.

Best wishes,
Jim B.

WooooooooWWWWW....

Great photo's gang. That is why we love C-Dory boats... Great photo's. Looking forward to some more... I have spent the last 30 minutes with this photo albumn in the slideshow mode running in a loop. Great stuff.

Great Pictures. I know. I was there and saw the real thing. Hope to get some of my own up on our 2Wander site. Don't know when I'll have time. Expect to leave with Halcyon and her crew for Lopez this morning. North after that.

Penny and I had a great time. Met some new and interesting folks and got to visit with some old ones.

Yes, El, Bill and Chris, Powell is a 10.

Jim B,

You're right, Ribbon Canyon is an amazing campsite. The group had planned on staying up Escalante Canyon that night. Getting late, couldn't find a good spot not already taken. Bill & El had stayed on Ribbon Canyon before and thought it might work. With different water levels you never know for sure. We went in and checked it out. Thought it might work, but didn't know if all the boats could find a spot. Chris (Rana Verde) came in said it would take us all. Up to where Chris tied off you could moter in carefully. We had to poll in to our spot with moters up. Nobody had any trouble getting in due to these AMAZING BOATS. In the morning I climbed up the rocks to look directly down on the boats for the pictures.

Patty here. I just viewed the album and kept saying, "Wow." I am so jealous. I so want to go there. I simply say "ditto" to the posts that precede me---really amazing scenery and cruising places. Please---anyone who can't get their boat there consider sharing a houseboat next April!

Wow, doesn't say enough. Fantastic Photos! Boy, do I wish we had been there. Jay, you must have done some tuff climbing to get those great overview photos. They're wonderful.

lucky dogs, it looks like a great time was had....and I might point out, it looks much more scenic than Cathalamet..Wish we could have held off going to Powell for a week or two, it would have much more funner with more C-Ds in the scenery

Great pictures -- the smiles brighten the scenery as much as the sun. Good job, folks. We're in Seattle now and hope to get some of our photos up before we head to the north. We miss all you folks and the good times shared!

After seeing those beautiful pics, Caryn and I are seriously thinking of making Lake Powell a must see destination. Do you think there will be another CBGT there next year? If so, count us in.
