InExplicable

As we wait for the beach to show up and where it might show up I check the Rocky Mountain snow charts and everyday it says there's about a foot and a half of snow left on average. Everyday here we have 1,900,800,000 cubic feet of water go by. The next day it says the same thing on snowpack and another almost 2,000,000,000 cubic feet of water goes by. Lake Powell rises anothef 8 or so inches a day with a 2,000 mile shoreline, more than the Pacific Coast. Then over the last week the river depth at the lodge has gone from 16 feet to 17 feet. It's not going down. Still too fast and deep to kayak. We moved the kayaks back down to the boat ramp in anticipation of having a beach before July 4th but I don't see how that's possible. Jesse and Jake got in kayaks at the boat dock just in case they couldn't paddle upstream and just broke even on paddling with a lot of work so got out at the boat ramp. You don't get out at the boat ramp or the creek bed three miles south of here, I think you're going to Lake Powell.
