My first trip to the lake was 1971....

Sept 1999 in the back of Face Canyon. Just a hint of a white line on the rock.

The design and lines of those old Donzi's never go out of style!

Last time I was down at Bullfrog and drove past the old marina store to the docks it helped put in better perspective how much of a difference 100 vertical feet could make. Found this other view of the store in ‘83. At least I’m pretty sure it’s ‘83 and not ‘84, but I have to admit I wasn’t even a twinkle in the eye at that point.

I remember when the store was that close to the water. You could boat up, get your stuff, and leave. Didn't have to walk a mile. Thanks for posting the picture.

Found this Wahweap pic on the UofU digital library. Neat view point.

My 1st time to Powell was in 76' at Wahweap, then we'd go to Paiute Farms a lot...from 79' on as it's not that far from Mexican Hat. We used to play music for the employee parties at Halls and we'd take a houseboat out as 'trade'! That was in the early 80's, also went out from SJ Marina in houseboats a few times...it was so beautiful & we had the lake to ourselves, I haven't been back there for a long time, always meant to after we got back into boats after a hiatus (kids, rodeos, horses) & bought a houseboat...keep it at Wahweap or Halls, now. Great pics!

Joy, Do you have any pics of Paiute Farms from 1980s? My wife and I went there last year. I posted a topic with pics on WW if you want to see what it looks like now.

We came in 92 ? at Hite. Not many places to park the truck and boat trailer, so we found a place near the shore. A guy seeming suspicious to us asked how long we would be gone. We thought he was a lurker/robber. Any way, eventually told him we were going camping/fishing for probably 3 days. He said well, your truck wont be here when you get back. We Knew it. Them's fighting words. Then he said the water was coming up a foot a day.
Well after not really believing him we did decide to move the rig. That night at our camp I stuck a stick at the edge of the water, and by the next evening sure as shootin, up a foot. Incredible massive amount of water to raise that whole lake a foot a day.
