The reality is that Lake Powell is a tremendous asset that is here to stay. The Colorado River delta needs a guaranteed allocated supply of water. Why not put our environmental energies into doing something positive, something productive. The idea of more disturbance and more destructive actions fails to motivate me. I would hope so.
Birds sing and fish swim.
I'm tired of fighting for permits, waiting 10 years to go on a raft trip and having to camp in pre-defined areas. In my eyes the biggest reason to keep Lake Powell is that it is truly he last great place for adventure and true recreation. You'll have to wait in line to enter the distorted remains of Music Temple. It would be nothing like the mystical experience of those lucky few back in the 1950's. Much like the memories of your home town, the experience in your mind is much more satisfying than the reality of today's world.
