[Paddlewise] Lake Powell?

Hi Folks-

I am getting ready to visit to Lake Powell for a paddling trip with 
some friends, and am looking for any suggestions on "must see" areas.  
I would be especially interested in hearing from anyone who's been 
there in the last year or two, since the water levels are now lower 
than they've been in 40 years,  when Glen Canyon was being flooded.  We 
went last year and found that many recommended camping spots were 
located up 80' cliffs!

Last year we went part way up the Escalante arm, which was terrific, 
but good pullouts were few and far between, and often the ends of the 
side canyons were a real mud pit, where the receding water has exposed 
40 years worth of sediment deposits.

If anyone has paddled there recently, I would appreciate any 
tips/reports.

Thanks,
Sarah
