The place we landed the houseboat has us sitting on a large sheer rock, and right around the corner from us is an amazing hidden wonder.
It's hard to describe but you think the canyon ends and it doesn't. It's an allusion, and there is much more canyon that weaves itself just behind what your eye can see. The first time we noticed it here, a boat was floating under the dome-shaped rock and I thot that was where this canyon ended. What I couldn't see is that there is a small water pathway that winds way back into the canyon just to the right of the boat. It's like finding a secret doorway to a great adventure. As you navigate this narrow water path often the rock over head closes in. It is a pretty amazing sight. The ski boat has to be taken thru this very slowly and it can kinda feel like a ride at Disneyland. In fact someone started to hum "It's a small world". (that would be me) At the very end there was a rope to help you climb up to a small waterfall, and next to that is a path that takes you to a larger waterfall. Several want to try that later.
Our houseboat is right outside this canyon which is quite a popular one so we see lots of boats coming and going. Depending on their etiquette their wakes can really make our houseboat rock.
It was steak & Greta's fettuccini alfredo for dinner which was so good. After dinner the guys finally got to teach Gary to play RIsk, and my word, it was an intense game of world domination between Ross, Brandon and Gary (who was coached thru the first half of the game by Greta, and at one point he nearly won!). The rest of us opted for a battle of Phase 10. Greta also made an amazing raspberry cream cheese pie for dessert. We are eating very well.
It was also time to rework the ice chests so Britt did a great job of going thru them and making sense of what was chaos.
World domination took a bit longer than anticipated and there was no going to bed early this nite. Praying Isaiah let's Ross and Taya sleep in a bit in the morning. What a great day.
