I've houseboated both ends, and definitely prefer the Page/Wahweap end. Much better facilities, closer services, and frankly better fishing.

For those who have never been there, Lake Powell is no limit on stripers, smallmouth, and walleye. Plentiful largemouth, catfish, crappie, and bluegill, too.

The major drawback is the quagga mussel infestation, which requires special decontamination efforts when you leave - to prevent spreading them to other lakes. Small price to pay.

Rocky....its good to have choices, makes life nice....I much rather go to the bullfrog side. like you I have done many houseboat trips to both sides. plenty of services, less crowded.....better fishing!....lol.....leaving a fifth wheel at bullfrog will pull up a sxs and boat while in cedar city....calvin the fishing can be off the charts and the beauty is 2cd to none...bob

That's the usual caveat. It's brutally hot there in summer. Not much better than Phoenix, in fact. Cedar City, only 60 miles or so away, but over 1,000 feet higher, is more tolerable.

Closer to 2500 ft higher

St. George is one of those places we go through but seldom stop, except for fuel. We have stopped to de-winterize the trailer a couple of times. We sometimes head toward Vegas, on our way to Pahrump, or we'll go to Glen Canyon on our way south and east. Our granddaughter loved Glen Canyon, by the way. On the way to Pahrump, we'll often stay at the Virgin River rec area. All in all, the southwest is easy to like; for me, anyway. GD

If it were not for the 9 grandkids living here in Montana, grandma and my driver licenses could have easily had St. George inscribed on them. I looked hard at buying a second home in the Sun River development, but from a practice point of view it really did not make any sense. We settled for a couple weeks a year in St. George and hiked a lot of the local trails. It was a great place for us to recharge our Montana winter batteries. Unfortunately, it has become just like so many other places on the planet, it has too damn many people to really enjoy all of its natural beauty and spectacular winter weather.

One of the things hams do to amuse themselves is set up portable equipment in parks, and operate from there. On the other end of the link, there are hams who collect contacts with different parks. I just finished putting together my portable station.

One of the activities on this trip to SG was a portable operation at Gunlock State Park. It was really hard to endure: 70 degree weather, blue skies, people out on the water, trees just starting to leaf out.

It's a shame that Paul39 moved away. A few years ago, he and I had a fun lunch and a great session at the range when I came to visit.

Aren’t you a cop?

Jackie_Handjobs was being a bit of twit in the Elk Hunting Forum.

I councelled her on her borish behaviour and reminded her she had never shot an elk so her bad behaviour was even more improper.

She is currently trying to get all that sand out of her couchie so I expect her to lash out a bit.

Yes she is a Fed Cop in NM.

If I'd have known that we'd have stopped by. We were there looking at the "Falls" yesterday.

Been through there a couple times. Once on a geology field trip in college. Got some pictures of dinosaur tracks from there.
