    Lake Powell Rendezvous 2010

    I was wondering if there is any interest in a Lake Powell rendezvous for all the CSR members in the area. I know most folks make it to the lake for a week at a time so it would be difficult getting a consensus date. There is also the issue of Bull Frog vs. Page but I thought I would throw the...
