We haven't been able to get up very far past Last Chance this year because my mom and dad keep taking the entire world to Powell and there are too many people. I don't know how they are paying for it, Mom and Dad are SOOO super generous... people sign up for a Metcalf trip like it's going out of style and my parents just try to figure out a time for everyone. I don't think people realize that gas at Lake Powell is like $1 more then everywhere else... Anyway, that's all I'll say about that. If you do happen to go to Powell with my parents, they are NOT at all whining or complaining. They love to share what they have... but my (and only MY suggestion) would be to leave some sort of tip to help out a bit. This summer season is going to send them to the poor house. (I repeat- they are not complaining). Soap box aside:
We were finally able to get up the canyon a bit and hiked West. Well, most of us hiked West. Quinn stayed behind to fish with Nick Nield. The trip didn't go so well for Q. I'll keep the details simple: Last week he got a ticket for speeding in the gorge ($55), then he got in a wreck a few days later ($600). On the way to Powell he got another ticket speeding through a construction zone ($157) after me making him stop at Rewind ($71). Then when we got to the boat, we discovered that Mark had taken the hitch off and we had to borrow/buy a new one ($?). The next morning- Quinn lost his beautiful new birthday pole and reel into the deep waters of Navajo Canyon ($80). Maybe this is why my mind is on finances lately. For those who think we have it made, be consoled with the fact that we took a pretty hard hit this month and it's not even half over yet.
Check out this amazing hike!
Below is our hiking crew. By this time, the boys had gotten bored with fishing and decided to wait for us on the houseboat. Poor Quinn. At least he had a nice big bowl of strawberries and cream to console himself. If you can't get ahold of us in the near future, it's probably because we're taking on extra hours at work to compensate for our weekend of expenditures.

Man I guess it's a good thing then that you guys don't have kids yet or else you'd really be hating life. Poor Quinn, I'm convinced though that bad things happen in numbers-hopefully things will be looking up soon.
Just for the record, it was a big fish.
It was SO fun to see you guys- loved American Idol and I can't wait to see your pics :) Can't wait until Lake Powell
