ICEBERG...RIGHT AHEAD .....Or Something!

   Another full day in our western adventure including a
stop in Zion Canyon!
   You could probably get to the valley floor in about a
minute....if you jumped off the cliffs on top!
   By bus it's more like a half hour and all the while
you're praying the driver's sharp as a tack and the
breaks are brand new as you begin the descent!
   The red rocks twist and turn above you as does
the highway.
   Then it was off to Lake Powell in Arizona!
   Here we were booked for a dinner cruise.
   Lake Powell,for those who might not know,
would hold Harvey's lake, Wallenpaupack, and
a mess of other lakes and ponds within it's
1900 miles of shoreline!
   The Tour vessel was sleek and the crew very
outgoing!
    We were each invited to speak with the
captain as we cruised along.
    I was kidding him about icebergs in this
560 foot deep lake and he gave me a laugh!
   But, just a short time later, I glanced off
the bow and saw a Mountain dead ahead!!!!
   I was ready to jump into a lifeboat (strictly
to row of course) when we learned this
mammoth tower of rock is a regular
stop for the dinner cruises!
   Wow. What a view. And in the middle
of the lake!
    So, as it happens, we survived the
"obstacle" on our course, and set sail
back to the dock!
   There I worked off the beef and cheesecake
by walking the steep hill back to our
hotel!
    In the end it was a successful cruise
for Jack and Rose......I mean Leona and
me!
   Hope you're sailing through your day
and that all your NEWS is good!
