It is sooooo beautiful and so much to see. We absolutely love Lake Powell and all its side canyons to explore. Hope you have a blast.

Wonderful video. Question.......... we noticed you did not carry extra fuel. With Dangling Rope no longer in existence, how did you make it to Bullfrog?

@stevewhitton8671 Hey Steve. I am thinking that the boat holds about 25 to 30 gallons, and in addition to that, we had another 30 gals in the center walkway up to the front of the boat that were under the blanket. The kids had to strategically straddle them every time they went up to the front, haha. We knew we couldn't make too many stops as we were on a time crunch, and we made it to bullfrog fine without using the extra gas, but coming back we did explore a bit more and used about 15 more of the extra gas. Also, we had ropes under the front seats. One more thing we did to save gas was we only used the Bimini in the extreme heat of the day as it cause drag. I hope this helps.

@stevewhitton8671 I think we must have barely missed each other at the toilet bowl last year. Lol. So sad it is gone. Cry 😢

Do you happen to know what weather is sorta like in October?? Thanks, Jim

@jamesbeaman5944 it will still be in th 90s, maybe high 80s. It's definitely nice enough to play in the water still. October will be an awesome time to visit. Especially if you are planning on any hiking. I made a video from last year where it was just my husband and me (no kids haha) and we did a lot more exploring and hiking. I will send that link if you want to check that video out as well. It is long, haha, so no worries if it loses your interest .
