Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday November 13, 1985 - Page 4 Colorado River riverbed which is now Lake Powell. Some were rescued from sites buried under as much as 500 feet of water as the lake filled up after construction of Glen Canyon Dam more than 20 years ago. Visitors to Bullfrog Marina are only 10 miles from Forgotten Canyon and Defiance House, the Lakes finest restored example of an Anasazi now 190 vertical (but climbable) feet above lake settlement Artist Kevin LaVeque adds finishing touches to mural depicting the life of the Anasazi Indians. The mural is located at the Anasazi Restaurant at Bullfrog Lodge and Marina, Lake Powell. Courtesy photo Anasazi artifacts exhibited at lake lodge Are the mysterious Indians who long ago vanished from the cliffs of beautiful Glen Canyon still working their magic? If you believe its impossible to unsnarl the regulations that bind (and sometimes separate) government and business, the answer is yes! In the name of the Anasazi (ancient ones), Del E. Webb Recreational Properties Inc. and the National Park Service have cut red tape to bring an outstanding exhibit to Lake Powell. Now, diners in the Bullfrog Lodges Anasazi Restaurant can munch a Moki Burger while pondering why skilled Anasazi natives built their dwellings high above the Colorado River, then abandoned the area for parts unknown some years ago. The Anasazis fate is still a mystery. The display is a great one, combining murals, artifacts Utah-Arizon- a 500-70- 0 says John and carvings, Lancaster, superintendent of Lake Powells Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It also represents some important firsts for the National Park supply artifacts and designs, adds Lancaster. To meet our construction deadlines, the Park Service had to compress approval and design schedules from years to months, says Ernie Gnauck, vice president for Dell Webbs five Lake Powell marinas. They did it. And we did our part. The public will benefit, Gnauck emphasizes. What Bullfrog visitors see now is an overall design by Murray Gellburg, a five-foo- t carving of an Anasazi by Don Turano, and a 15 x mural by Kevin 8-fo- ot LaVeque. In addition they can study axe heads, bows and arrows, bowls, and many other artifacts some of which the National Park Service has had to loan to museums and some of which they have had in study collections.
