Comments | We rowed down this arm of the Escalante River in Lake Powell looking hoping to find freshwater Jellyfish like we had in the Anasazi arm the day before. We got luck and sighted 3. One of which I was able to get a fair picture of. I am submitting separate reports for this sighting and the first sighting because they are about 12 miles apart and in different counties. This sighting was in the late afternoon of a clear day. The first sighting was in the late morning on a cloudy day. |
