A 2nd thread on Lake Powell from this weekend. See earlier thread for Tweets 1-14.

/15 Here's the bottom of the Wahweap Stateline ramp, now closed.

/16 This is the recently opened Stateline replacement ramp. It opened just days ago.

/17 View of Wahweap Marina from the access road. The white areas across the reservoir center and right were underwater until recently.

/18 Same area as 18, but looking to right. Boats now have to navigate new S-Bend to access main part of lake. Backside of Glen Canyon Dam visible in distance.

/19 Backside of dam. White band is 155' tall.

/20 Dam. Note cut on far bank for side channel spillway.

/21 Dam.

/22 Top of walkway to Antelope Point Marina. In the far distance, horizontal lines of bushes make previous lake shores.

/23 Looking at the Antelope Point walkway from the bottom. Note the cliff where the wide walkway ends, and the new, narrow, extension needed to overcome the cliff. The Marina also had to excavate a new path for their service vehicles. END.
