- So it is the best morning yet
that we've been here on Lone Rock Beach and we're leaving.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah. Yesterday was a wash.
The wind, it was gusting up to about 30 plus miles an hour.
Sand is everywhere. So you can imagine the dust
that was floating through the air.
It is everywhere inside the rig.
- Yeah. Even with everything closed up on the rig,
we still could smell it. We were breathing the sand
and it was that bad. So we have decided
to make a change and go to full hookups.
- Yeah. Imagine being with Changing Lanes
and having to make a change, part of the change
is one, the weather's going to be 105 plus
for the next week. We're boondocking.
- Big heat wave.
- Although we ran a generator pretty much all day
yesterday because it was so hot.
Chad is having some issues with an inverter,
so their ACs keep tripping and it's just not conducive
out here in that kind of heat.
So we're gonna go back into town.
I think we're going back into Page.
- Mm-hm.
- To a new full hookup site,
and we'll be able to have steady power for them.
Be able to run the ACs and you know, not worry about having,
the generator or whatever noise
in the background. So that's a plus
- Yeah. Well, the biggest thing is we wanna get out
and play. We wanna go kayak and rent boats
and all this stuff. And we can't leave the dogs here
if they're unsafe. So we have to make sure
that they're well taken care of so we can go play.
And the whole point of being here is for us to play
so full hookup sites it is, and I don't know,
we'll check it out. It looks like the campground
is gonna have awesome views.
So we will let you guys see it.
- Yeah. It's still right on Lake Powell.
It's just a different section of Lake Powell.
- It's just not the free section.
- Yeah.
- Although this wasn't free, we did pay seven bucks a night.
- Yeah. Using our access pass. It's normally $14 a day.
- You guys know we've said it a million times.
RV life means flexibility.
It means rolling with the punches.
It means you never really know what's gonna happen.
So of course, you guys know our Jeep
is being repaired and we use our Jeep
to haul around two of our bikes.
So we had to make allowances.
We have nowhere to put these bikes
other than right here in the rig.
So you can see we have the e-bike here.
And then in the back is Phil's mountain bike.
So you just have to roll with the punches.
We have towels everywhere to help protect the furniture,
to make sure the bike doesn't puncture anything
or scratch it up. And other than that,
you know, we gotta do what we gotta do.
So hopefully it'll all work out.
Although I gotta tell ya, these bikes drug in
so much sand, we're gonna be digging sand
out of this RV for weeks.

- You couldn't tell by my air filters
that I just cleaned them a month ago.
If that, before we left San Antonio
for our next adventures, we've been sitting
at Lone Rock Beach state park.
And two days ago, we had a huge sand and wind storm
to the point where we were stuck inside all day.
And we could taste the sand and the dust
in the air and everything got coated.
Even though, we were buttoned up a little bit,
slides were out. So there was a lot
of access points for sand,
but I just checked, something triggered me to say,
Hey, let me check my filters. And they were filthy.
So PSA, if you are sitting in a windy, sandy area,
or you've got a lot of dust or whatnot
floating around in the air, it's good to check
these filters periodically, depending.
It doesn't matter what type of AC you have.
If you have an AC unit there's filters
that need to be changed. So change them out on the regular
I happen to have. (phone dinging)
Wow. Okay. We just got quite a few messages in a row.
I don't know what that was,
but I happen to have spare filters.
So it's easy for me to just take the old ones down
and swap them out and then I can wash the other ones,
let them dry, and then I'll put those away
and swap those out later but it's always good
to have extras of your filters.
- Ready?
- [Stacy] All right Phil's back to his Boson Mates' days.
- Woo-hoo!
- [Tara] Yay!
- Let's undo the aft line.
Somebody put a nice figure eight with a half hitch on it.
I like their seamanship skills. Phil approved.
You are ready to-
- [Stacy] Set sail! Set sail! Set sail!
- [Tara] Do it! Do it! [Stacy] We're on the boat!
- [Phil] Oh, wait did we bring tunes? The speaker.
- [Chad] Here, I think it has Bluetooth.
- [Stacy] 80's baby.
(boat whirring)
- We're here.
- So when we go down into like the?
- Yeah. - Okay
- We've got a GPS here, too
- Okay.
- So first, oh, sorry.
- [Stacy] No, no, no. Go, keep going.
- [Tara] First order of business is to go visit that Lone Rock
- [Phil] Yeah, we were staring at for four days.
- [Tara] That we left abruptly.
- [Stacy] Yes, thanks to the sand storm and 105 degrees.
- Yes. Yes.

All right. I just got to say,
recording when we're flying through the water,
jumping up and down, is a little difficult.
I keep bouncing around.
- Like this. Well, that was bad.
(water rippling)
- All right, sailor, how was your day on the boat?
- Loved it. Loved every freaking minute
of being on the water.
- It was really cool.
- It was. It was long overdue.
It was nice to just get out and let the sun hit us,
the wind. I don't know if you can see me.
It was just a phenomenal day. Hot, but a ton of fun.
- It was really hot. And if you come to Lake Powell,
there are so many options for you to rent
whatever kind of craft you want on the water.
Of course we failed at renting house boats,
but those are an option for you.
Houseboats, paddle boats, kayaks, speed boats
like we had pontoon boats. All of those are options for you.
And there's quite a few marinas
where you can rent them from.
- Yeah. In Lake Powell it's just got all kinds
of little fingers and canyons to go down.
We've got to come back. I mean,
- It's beautiful.
- We've been on the water all day
and we, I mean, we can only go about halfway down
to about buoy twenty-five, explore in and around that area.
But I tell you what, this is a must come back to.
- Yeah. And we're going to come back not in June.
- No.
- Let's try it in like March or April.
- Yeah. Like when it's snowing.
(Stacy laughing)
- We almost always forget to tell you
about all the campgrounds we show up in
and we'll get a ton of questions about it later.
So today we figured we would head off those questions
and actually give you info about this awesome campground.
- And yeah, she is standing on a stool.
- Darn it, you weren't supposed to tell!
(laughing)
- You know this is the first and only time
I've ever had to look up to Stacy while videoing.
- All right. So about the campground,
it is called Antelope Point Marina and Campground.
And it is literally attached
to one of the marinas here at Lake Powell.
- We found it just by driving around.
We went to actually get some information
about the marina and we drove by
and we went, "Hey, there's a campground right there."
- Yes.
- So we went in and, and they're not fully built yet.
So they have no office.
The poor lady that was working there
was sitting in a Conex box.
- [Stacy] (laughing) They are working
on like landscaping and they were talking
about other amenities like a pool and stuff later on.
But for now they are exactly what we needed.
It is a very long paved site with full hookups.
- And they're all back-in full hookups.
I don't know if you mentioned that.
- 70 bucks a night in Arizona in Page
when it's 105 degrees, totally worth it.
- Take my money.
- And the benefit of this campground,
if you book for a week, you get one free day.
So it actually ended up being 60 bucks a night.
- Yeah, not bad. I mean, yeah, it's a little outside
of our nightly budget, but, you know.
- It was totally worth it.
- When you average into the free boondocking spots
that we seldom hit, it pays itself off.
- Well, COVID threw a wrench into us last year,
but another great thing about this campground,
like we said, it's on the marina
and you can rent all kinds of stuff
from the marina. You can rent stand up paddleboards,
jet skis. You know, I don't rent those, but jet skis,
kayaks, houseboats, all kinds of stuff.
- Pontoon boats, regular boats. Like the one we were in,
it was a pretty nice, almost one stop shopping
for waterborne activities. Yes.
- And there's a restaurant onsite with a bar.
There's an ice cream shop, a coffee shop, a store.
And the coolest part is whenever you're ready
to go down there and check out all those amenities,
you just give them a little call.
They come up and get you in the golf cart
and take you right where you want go.
- Yeah. Cause trust me, going down is the easy part
coming back you'll want that golf cart
it is a steep drop down from the marina.
So it's a really neat setup that they have.
And if you don't go to the marina
while you're at the campground, you're missing out.
- Yeah. It was a great time.
So I am putting the link for the marina and campground
down below. If you're in the area,
make sure you go check it out.
Even if you don't stay at the campground,
check out the marina.
Cause there's a ton of stuff to do there.
