Our Stay in Cedar City, Utah

Cedar City was a very pleasant stop-over on our way north.  We enjpyed our visit with Ben and his family and friends.  Ben took us to Navajo Lake where we kayaked with our grandson, Josh, and two friends of their family.

Josh was surveying the lake after we got my kayaks unloaded.
Ben had another kayak which had been loaded on his car.  It was the kayak I built when I was attending Oregon State University. It is about one year older than Ben.

Ben also took along his pontoon boat from which to fish.

Navajo Lake provides a nice beach for launching the kayaks and pontoon boats.  Margaret and I went all the way across the lake, while Joah kayaked to the east end.  

The fishing was great, but the catching was poor.  However, we all enjoyed ourselves.

Ben is one of the scout leaders in his church, and took his boys to a small lake set aside for youngsters to fish.  He was teaching them how to fly fish.  They had a good time, and the fishing was better than it was at Navajo Lake.

The boys fished from the dam that impounds the water.  You could probably throw a stone clear across the lake.

This boy's father had joined us, and here they proudly displayed their catch.

Of course the trip would not have been successful if the scout leader had not been able to teach them fly fishing without landing a couple himself.

Not all of our time at Ben's was spent fishing and kayaking.

Chrissy came to visit with her three boys while we were there.  This is Logan panning for the camera.

Here are two of the boys and Ben and Chrissy in the background.

This is Haley's new little kitten.  Cute, mischievious and active.  I teased her continually about stealing it and taking it with us.  I'm sure she realized I was only teasing, but played along with me anyway.

The next blog entry will see us at Big Hole River, Montana.
