Lake Powell

My crew from left to right. (Lyndsi, King Arthur, Jason, Cat









And so the story begins...






Lyndsi had a final in the morning so we got off around 10:30 monday morning. I think that is the beautiful outskirts of Kanab in the background.















Then in no time we were there, and I was looking over the vastness of my lands which stretched as far as the eye could see.










My squire was so overjoyed at his liege's arrival he broke out in ritual dance.














Just after arrival the formal ball began











No sooner had the ball began then we heard a call...T'was some weary travelers from a distant land they were shipwrecked and floating aimlessly at sea...








We offered them food and shelter, the finest cheeses of Arabia and Greece, fiefdoms with an abundance of serfs and rare cracker delicacies of the northern americas.













Travelers from a new world


















The levity did not last long however as we were soon under attack. Count Jason and I nobly defended the women and children with my trusty squire looking on adoringly.














We won the day but I was wounded in battle















luckily we brought a medic










The rest of the trip proceeded remarkably well until the incident occurred....









































Then just like that it was all over and the captain returned us to our stead. As we traveled back to our native lands our hearts bled with nastalgia.

Your toe looks sick and it gives me the willies to look at it but I'm very glad you survived your battles

I'm jealous you got to go to Lake Powell. It's one of my favorite places ever. We should all go as a family someday.
