Default Ragged island overnight

We take 2 trips on 70' house boats every year in both Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas and on Lake Powell. Its pretty amazing stepping onto a boat that you control and isn't a "cruise ship" and not touching land for a week. And if you do touch land its usually unoccupied. We typically travel for a day or two camp over night and keep moving until we hit our destination. Anchor up the house boat there and enjoy the week with the out and about boat to explore. Now I don't really see that being practical on Winni but its definitely an awesome experience if you ever get the chance to try. And oh man the stars from out there.

Probably a story for a new thread, but I for one would love to hear about the Lake Powell experience. Oh and I would love to see pictures too!!!

Its one of my bucket list trips once I retire.

Thanks!

We did it 5 years ago with another family on a 75’ house boat with a full kitchen and four bedrooms. Still our families favorite vacation. We flew into Vegas, drove and stayed a couple nights and hiked at both Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Then worked our way to Lake Powell where we spent 6 days boating, hiking and camping. As said above the stars are unbelievable. One of the few vacations we may repeat. Name:  DSC02896.jpg
