What are they requiring this year?
Same as always… proof you store your boat 25 miles from wahweep/bullfrog and you have to answer 1/2 a dozen questions about quaggas…
Hey now all i need is a fake id to get my pass! Haha after all those time i used one to buy booze, i get popped for using on to get a locals quagga mussel pass.
Do they have gas too asking for a friend....So, I made the attempt.
They won't let me in the club. They apparently have "conditions and requirements" that I am not able meet.
I did answer all the questions right, so they told me I could still get free ice from the secret dangling rope that’s not at dangling rope but the locals know where.
It has been windy this week… but pretty typical for April. We plan on our first splash sometime around May 8-14, or on/off a couple times that week when the weather is good.
Ok. I have the national park pass. Will have to pay for the boat but I expected that. Am I correct in assuming there is no inspection to launch on Powell since they already have mussels? The boat is coming from and will be going back to lake mead afterwards
It’s a wake boat. “Complicated” as they call it. Not really looking forward to some government working trying to decontaminate my boat.
Ive not seen or heard of anyone getting inspected on way in. Only on way out. Sometimes there's a line of wake boats waiting at the dunk tank. Other times tank isn't open and people appear to be leaving with only the typical visual inspection. I've also never heard of anyone being hassled over the AIS sticker.
where are you coming from? If you tow going north on I15 you will need to visit the state line inspection station for boats at St. George
Coming from Vegas. Will be going through St. George. But am going after work on a Wednesday, they’re usually closed in the evening.
Where do you plan to launch from?
I have also, gotten off the water after the inspection station closes and just drive past.
What about the local aviator sticker? Rumor on the docks is they're coming for the planes next. After a thorough government investigation on how quagga mussels entered into lake Powell, the cause is still undetermined. Since it is well known the park and states did their due diligence to prevent it from happening by boat. So now they are going to inspect aircraft with the understanding the planes transfered the quaggas to the clouds and the clouds rained on the lake.

i have been inspected on the way in. I was given an inspection pass at the ranger station and told good to go, and then some wacko NPS nazi stopped me at the ramp and made a huge scene. made me go to boat detox.
Interesting. We had a 13yr hiatus from Powell and started back up 2yrs ago. Before our break they'd check for porta potties if overnighting and in early 2000's sound checks. I never got checked even with an 871 sticking through hatch surging through wakeless zone. Clamp on mufflers clearly visible so I guess they figured I was trying while buddy with stock 502mpi would get stopped every time. He swears it was so cops could check out his wife's new bolt ons. Had a "Safety Check" while launching last summer. Dude asked for the usual equipment and never asked about toilet. Not had any issues over mussels but have a Local Boater sticker.
seems in the last few years, basically since the muscle has been found in the lake, they have backed way off on the inspections.
Unless you are camping within 200 yards of a toilet you are required to to pack it in and pack it out…. So a portable potty or doodie bags and a bucket etc…Is a toilet required? What are those options? “Bumper Dumper”. We picked up our boat at Powell but never was asked anything. If we go back i want to be prepared.
A Porta Potty of some sort is required. They used to check randomly at ramp and roll up on our beach camps to check when we all had small boats. That stopped when there'd be a cabin cruiser or house boat in the mix. We haven't been checked last 2 summers at all but go farther up and away from the popular spots now.Is a toilet required?

Thats what you get for showing up with a drunk boat.
