There is beauty all around...

Here are just 3 of many scenery pictures from Lake Powell over the years. You just can't beat the peace and tranquility that one feels basking in the sun and enjoying these beautiful surroundings. Please post some of your favorite shots from your trip on the Moki.

Biodegradable Body Soap


Some of you at the houseboat meeting ask about a biodegradable body soap. This is what I found 2 summers ago at Walmart. It's called Alpine Xtreme hydrating face and body wash. I checked online and it states that Walmart still carries this. This bottle is 28 oz and it's 1/2 full after 2 trips to Powell with about 15-20 people on each trip.
Shampoo: it's easy to find shampoo's that are biodegradable. Suave makes some as well as many other companies. Conditioner is another story all together. I finally found Aussi products in the purple bottle. They are biodegradable.
I haven't found any shaving creams that are biodegradable so we just use conditioner.
Just remember that there is a hefty fine if you are found to have any products on the boat that are NON-biodegradable. Help everyone out and share your ideas and products you find that you like to use at Lake Powell.

Our officers for 2011 were elected and the decision was unanimous.
President - Tim Holden

She' on dry land!

For those who might be following this blog - Wayne and Russ Lund drove to Lake Powell today and they have brought the Moki out of the water to dry dock to begin the upkeep process. The pontoons will be power washed and repainted or coated (whatever the proper term is). Once everything is completed we can have the insurance company come and inspect. Having the boat out by early February should ensure it's ready for spring. The engines started great!
