There is a new IDX Lake Powell Real Estate search now active at The Lake Powell Real Estate Blog. It is provided by RealtyPro Solutions and is just what the Lake Powell area needed.

Up to this time, searching homes for sale at Lake Powell was a clunky process. Also with the number of Lake Powell View properties for sale it was a task to sort through them.

Searches can now be narrowed by price, size, bedrooms, bathrooms and location.

The Page Lake Powell real estate search covers Page, AZ and Greenehaven, AZ.

The Big Water, UT real estate search covers Eastern Kane country from Paria to Big Water.

To see the new search visit The Lake Powell Real Estate Blog and "arrow" (not click) over Search Lake Powell MLS and choose your area.

Your Lake Powell Realtor

I've started a new series on my Lake Powell Real Estate Blog which I should have written a long time ago.

In 1998, my then 14 year old son David, discovered what turned out to be a great specimen of a plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs were water bound marine reptiles that lived at the time of the dinosaurs. Think - Loch Ness Monster - but this one had a very short neck and jaw bones 4 feet long.

Over the next several years David would make more discoveries in the Tropic Shale by Lake Powell behind Big Water, Utah. One of the discoveries would end up being a new species of Plesiosaur called “Eopolycotylus rankini”. A new species of Therizinosaur was found in the same area which David is the co-discoverer "N. graffami" which is named after our neighbor.

Please follow the link to the story. This link is to the first part of what should end up at 8 or 9 parts to tell the story of how to dig a dinosaur, and how this large, pre-historic animals ended up in what is now the high, wind-blown deserts of Southern Utah.

History of Page Attacks Trash:

· In 1980, Jim Popovich, a Glen Canyon National Recreation Area interpreter, came to Jerry Jones, Navajo Generating Station public affairs representative, to propose the idea to establish a partnership between NGS, the City of Page, the National Park Service, and later the Navajo Nation for a community clean-up.

· In the spring of 1981, the program began as a one-day community wide clean-up effort. It started with 1,200 volunteers and steadily grew.

· By 1986, more than 5,000 people joined hands to attack the litter problem. Volunteers collected 212 tons of trash in Page and nearby Navajo communities.

· NGS extended similar efforts with the LeChee Chapter, in conjunction with Earth Day.

· In 1986, Page Attacks Trash received a first place award in the 1986 “Take Pride in Arizona” campaign founded by U.S. Secretary of Interior Donald Hodel.

· In 1987, the President’s Commission on Americans Outdoors praised the clean-up program in a national report to the President of the United States.

Points of Interest Page Attacks Trash:

· Iron Eyes Cody, a figure head for the “Keep America Beautiful” campaign participated with the open ceremonies by giving the Walk in Beauty prayer in American Indian sign language.

· Senator John McCain with wife, Cindy McCain, also visited Page to participate with Page Attacks Trash.

· The Navajo communities near Page have diligently increased their participation each year with their own community clean-up efforts.

· Page Attacks Trash maintains a presence to teach our children about protecting the beauty and harmony of our vistas, community, plants and animals from the spoilage of litter.

· The anti-litter campaigns of the 1950’s, a messy cartoon insect taught children, “Don’t be a Litterbug”; 1970’s jaunty Woodsy Owl, “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!”; and from 1971, the most famous tear-stained Indian’s message “People start pollution, people can stop it”, are long gone.
