	Lake Powell annual kayak - Start date, Sept. 21 to ?, 2008
	Preliminary plans are being made for this annual wilderness kayak adventure.  If the north end of the lake is high enough to allow a drive-in/launch from around Hite Marina, we will start from there to visit passages and canyons en route to Halls Crossing about 46 miles down.  Am planning for a shuttle trip if possible.  If not, am open to discussion as to what options would be recommended and preferred by those interested parties.  We plan to carpool when possible and some of us plan on staying for 8-12 days. Time of departure or arrival can be flexible. This will again be a self-sustaining wilderness trip involving paddling several miles a day and optional wilderness hiking in beautiful slick rock canyons with a layover day or two.  All parties will be responsible for themselves and provide their own personal camping and safety gear, food, water, and personal waste depositories as is required by the NP Service.  Touring kayaks are recommended as are self-rescue and safety skills. If interested, please contact:  Norma Miller - 578-1399 or vicepresident@soazpaddlers.org
