The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Yeah, MV is #1 on the list for my next trip. There's a lot of really cool stuff down in that area, including the stuff around Page, AZ (Antelope Canyon).

Cruising on Lake Powell is a must when in the Page area. Beautiful!

I went to Garden of the Gods in CO when I was 10, and since then I've always wanted to live close to the mountains. Finally we're able to move to Denver next summer. I was on a business trip to Spearfish, SD a few years ago and had enough time to checkout the local area and see some sights; it's just beautiful up there.

The monkey wrench gang would disagree. Look it up.



We found Lake Powell by accident back in the days before GPS or internet. We were driving from Utah back into Arizona and saw this small road sign that said "Lake" so we took the left and a few miles crested the hill and saw the lake below us. Disappointingly, the accessible shoreline was completely occupied by RVs and then the water was warm to boot. Still, it was great to find the oasis in the desert.



btw, you may remember the thread about the time lapse imagery of Mt.St.Helens. That same sight also had one for the water level in Lake Powell over a couple of decades.



KD - thanks for taking the time to frame and post the pics, always good to see postcards from the west.
