Butch:
If you don't want to carry a leaf blower around with you, ofcourse you
could use it to blow across lake meade too. You can get a handy dandy
12volt pump that runs off your battery from Target, seems like there are
Targets everywhere, probably one in Page by now. Anyway they work fine
cost about $16, get an extension cord at Radio Shack and you can blow it
up down at Badger Creek.
Good Luck
