Wyatt and I went to Lake Powell with Coy and Traci Wadsworth and their kids. We got there early Friday morning. We drove the car down the ramp as far as we could go. There is a sign that says no cars beyond this point. Anyways, we unloaded the car and was waiting for them to come and pick us up. We were getting ready to carry our stuff down to the dock when this truck with a boat honks at us. Wyatt and I look at them like "What the F...!". We went about our business and they honked at us again and threw their arms up in the air. I looked at the driver and said what do you want. He wanted us to move. We were standing between a parked car and the sign that said "No cars beyond this point". Wyatt and I both looked at him like he was an idiot and said you got to be kidding. There was only one other truck/boat on the ramp and he was in the water already. So pretty much the guy had the whole ramp to himself.

But no, he wanted to go between the car and the sign. So we moved a foot over so he could get by. As you see in the diagram I drew, you could see why we gave him a dirty look and was annoyed with him.

After we moved, this is where he ended up. His excuse was that it was his first time. Whatever! Right after that Coy and Tracy came. When they got there they told us we had a snake in the camp. He was hiding between the cooler and the shader. When we got to the beach we had to find rocks because nobody had a shovel. The whole process took us over a hour. The men had to smash the snake with rocks. It was sad. I don't like snakes, but when you got to kill something, I like doing it quick and kill them with the first hit. It was hard because we only had 3 big rocks heavy enough to kill. Also, the snake was a baby rattle snake. They are more dangerous then adult rattlers. They don't have any rattlers on their tail, so you can't hear them and they don't have control over their biting and releasing venom. We didn't want him to get into our tents our get one of the kids. So he had to die. After the killing, we set up our tent and went out waking boarding. When we came back to our beach, there was 3 house boats there. Yes, there was a space between, but still. Friday was a beautiful day. Saturday, Coy's parents Rod and Annette came. Saturday was partly cloud, but still nice. We went touring all day Saturday and did more wake boarding and tubing. I love riding the tube. Then the night came and with it the wind and with that, rain. It was a looonnnnggg night. The wind was blowing so hard, that it was making waves that were going over the boats. The rope to the anchor on Coy's snapped. One of our tent poles broke. While I was laying on our tent, something bit me. There was no mark on my leg and at first I thought I got a sticker in me, but then it started to throb. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. So I'm laying on the tent getting whipped with sand and wanting to cry. Coy's two little girls were laying on their parents tent, one crying and the little friend that came with them was laying on the girls tent, wanting to go home. Traci and Annette were holding onto the shader and the guys were in the water holding the boats. It SUCKED!! After the wind died down just a little, we set up back up our tents. It rained all right. When we woke up, our bedding was wet, we had puddles in our tent and our clothes bag was wet. Everything was wet. It wasn't just our tent, it was everybody tents. Nobody had dry clothes. Wyatt and I were planning on leaving on Sunday while coy and the rest of them were staying until Monday. We all packed up and came home Sunday. And just in time. When we got to the dock, rangers were warning everybody that was loading into the water that a storm was coming. It was already starting to rain again. While were unloading the boats, Wyatt went to get our car. He had parked in a long spot, usually for trucks with trailers, and somebody had parked behind us and blocked us in. So then we had to go find a ranger, they called a towing company and said it would be 45 minutes. While waiting, a Lake Powell employee came and it was her car. The ranger gave her a lecture and said she should know better and don''t do it again. Finally we were on the road home. It rained all the way home. Besides the weather, it was a fun trip. So I have tried to post some pictures, but they aren't working. I will try again later.
