On our first night of the Liquid Force-Lake Powell trip we all woke up to Gale force winds whipping through the canyons that we parked in. It was nuts. I”ve heard the stories, but never seen winds like that before. Tents were blowing over, gear was flying everywhere. It was a mess. Put it this way, I was very thankful that I had a room inside. Those on top of the houseboat were going through hell all night.
And then there’s Kyle Walton…. The dude just stuck it out in the boat all night. I woke up and looked over the edge to see him perfectly wedged on the back bench seat of the Malibu. I think he is pretty comfortable in a sleeping bag, judging from the stories he’s shared with me. You know what, I think the boat is the overlooked “honey hole” for sleep spaces at Lake Powell. He’s on to something.
