TR: where did all the water go?
We ventured out a couple weeks ago headed to Lake Powell trying to find solitude. We found the lake so low we couldn’t even access our same spot last year!!

July 2021 same spot we camped last year!!!
You can barely see the water line
We continued out on the mud flat and found a Tacoma on the water line buried to his axles. This is as far as we went. I have had my experience getting buried in mud and unfortunately did not risk it and couldn’t help the poor fellow.
I was unable to reach the shore line but did get some cool TC pics :)
We headed over to lone rock campground and joined the masses
It actually wasn’t too bad because the water level is so low there is a lot of room for people to camp
Launching the Watercraft from the shore
In anticipation of some long touring far up lake into some very remote canyons and dangling rope marina being closed I was able to find a nice aftermarket fuel caddy. I am able to store two fives gallon jugs on the back and one 5 gallon jug in the center hatch. Which gives me a range of approximately 150 miles.
This was a father son trip for 6 nights at lone rock :)
We did this 30ft cliff jump last year and now it has to be well over 80 feet now!!
LAST YEARS PIC
We had to find some new rocks to leap off
But the main reason we come is for the amazing remote side canyons to explore :)
Pirates of the Caribbean video:)
Even though the lake is at an insane low level we had a blast bonding, truck camping and touring around. Not sure if the lake will continue to drop but boy do we need some rain out here. Hope you enjoyed the pics
