Just out of curiosity, after seeing the high water lines in your pics (nice ones by the way) are they hoping to fill back up a ways, or is most of the water already spoken for downstream? With Colo, Wyo and Utah all well above avg for snowpack and water content, you'd think they might gain a few feet in water depth. Time to refill Lake Powell.http://www.bogley.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=44915&stc=1&d=1307016701
This was early 80's. A little bit more water in there.

The talk I have heard, puts the high water mark this Summer between 3655-3670.
The water was rising 6-7" per day while we were there, this should go to 1' per day as soon as the weather warms.
Full pool being 3700'

Thanks for that info oldno7. I guess it's going to take a few years of big snowfalls to get er filled up again. Watching the Yampa flooding here in Steamboat. :eek2:

Heres a great link to not only Lake Powell, but all other major Lakes and rivers in the system.

Nice pics.
:moses:
May the "lake" continue it's downward spiral. Leaking and evaporating, filling up with sand, dead cows, cars, refrigerators, human waste, boats, water skiers, fishing line.................................
