Powellooza is an annual event that occurs at Lake Powell in Arizona during the summer break. About a hundred and fifty young people attend the event and get together for an awesome time that lasts for three days. Ever necessity from food and water are provided for the bunch and you can even camp out by the waters or sleep in your own houseboats.
Lake Powell is not as famous as that of the beaches in Bora Bora or the resorts in the French Alps or the remote islands in the Caribbean but it is absolutely the ideal place for a group of friends to have a blast.
Usually, the people that come here are members of a religious group called Mormons. Some are the children of the rich and famous or those who own private yachts that will enable them to reach the remote area. These people, usually college students, come here to escape the school life, pack up their beers and their jet skis and just have a fun time. Since the area is surrounded by pristine waters, majestic brown boulders of hills or rocks as you might say, passage ways that lead to narrow corners perfect for exploring the different sides of Lake Powell, wide areas for water sports, and on top of that, absolutely breathtaking views, time spent here will definitely earn you a spot in the most envied young person in the planet.
Lake Powell Trip from sean cumiskey. One of the things that you might enjoy here and as mentioned, is the water sports. You will be riding a floating raft and be dragged by a fast-speed water vehicle and feel the rush of the air and the screams of supportive audience as you enjoy your swerve around the waters of Lake Powell.
If you just wish to relax a bit before doing all the extreme stuff that you can do in the area, you can just grab your fishing gear and a folded chair, sit back by the shores and fish.
Yes, you can fish here! Your beer could also use a companion as you party the night away later. Mostly, light emanating from your houseboats are the ones visible when things get dark. Then comes one of the perks of this event.
The people who come here initiate a bonfire where everyone will be passed with drinks around, party to the lively house or retro music and just have some fun! The choice actually is entirely up to you. But, no matter what you choose as your sleeping quarters, the views of the area and the stars in the sky during night time is just absolutely charming and beautiful.
You will most definitely feel that you are in paradise. During day time, as mentioned, there are a lot of water sports to choose from. Most of the teenagers would love to engage in exploring the area by kayaking. You can grab your canoes and go sailing through narrow paths and appreciate the breathtaking views of peaceful waters that touch the rocks under the sunny skies that add up to giving you that summer feel.
If adventure is your thing, this will really make you enjoy a time with friends as you swerve through many areas of Lake Powell. It would really be such an unforgettable experience with friends and you will surely love to brag about it to everyone else back home! For more water sports that you can engage in here at Lake Powell, jet skiing is one of the most fun ones to experience here. As mentioned, you should definitely bring along a jet ski or rent one in visiting here.
You can ride on within the area, and since it covers a vast area, you will definitely have a blast. You can race with your friends, splash those ones that are sun bathing by the shores or just feel the rush of the air and the spirit of freedom while having a blast riding that jet ski! This is definitely a fun activity for anybody attending Powellooza.
Another exciting water sport that the young people enjoy here is wakeboarding! How fun is that? Since this event truly is a way to get rid of all the stresses in life, imagine being dragged by speeding boat and splashing through the waves, and your friends would be cheering you on!
It has been a really long time since I laughed so much Getting ready to jump off the houseboat I was so sad when we were forced to vacate the houseboat and head back to reality When we got back to our truck we discovered that the boat trailer had a flat tire, and Easton and Natalie had to run all over town to track down a new one. All of the other cars took off, and three hours later we finally hit the road.
Our drive began fairly peacefully, and we were lucky enough to have two whole hours of smooth, uninterrupted travel…and then another tire blew on the trailer. We were out in the middle of nowhere and we were completely stranded. Natalie called her Allstate emergency roadside service and the conversation went something like this:.
No wonder it was taking so long for us to get home! We're such idiots In a nutshell, we ran out of options because you can't tow a trailer with a flat tire. We prepared ourselves for a long, uncomfortable night in the truck until Ashlee remembered that she knew someone who lived in a bordering town.
After a very late wake-up call at around one o'clock in the morning, a sweet year-old man came to rescue us. He was nice enough to let us stay in a rental house that he owns and which happened to be vacant, and we were pleased to discover an uber creepy basement that looked remarkably similar to the one in Silence of the Lambs.
We even found a big meat hook on the wall to complete the effect. We did eventually make it home the next day, although I don't think I have ever been so tired in all of my 27 years of living.
I won't deny that the drive home was one of the more miserable experiences of my life, but the Lake Powell trip was absolutely worth it! Posted by Blythe at AM. That looks like it was such and awesome and fun trip!!!
Sorry your ride home wasn't as lovely, but at least it all worked out! Glad to see you blog again finally! My favorite pic is the one of you guys leaping off the boat! Blythe, you are so skinny! Post a Comment. Monday, August 11, Lake Powellooza. Exhibit A: Exhibit B: Needless to say, we had a really fun group on the houseboat.
Natalie called her Allstate emergency roadside service and the conversation went something like this: Natalie : Hi, one of the tires on my boat trailer just blew and we need a replacement. Roadside service lady : What kind of car needs the tire? Natalie : No no, we need a tire for the trailer carrying our boat. And you need a new tire? I think you got all of the beautifully photogenic genes in our fam. August 11, at AM crazy4danes said Great pictures! Easton is the best planner! I think he is in the wrong profession!
