Page | Glen Canyon Dam
Page, Arizona: We are fairly sure it
was Spring-Ahead last night, but we have all these auto-setting clocks, and are
in Arizona which does not "do" daylight savings time, so we were never really
sure what time it was all day. The weather was simply fantastic - the best
weather of the trip so far. I will just say we woke "early". DT drove the bus
down to the local high school, and I followed in the car. While he did a track
work-out, I put the satellite up in the parking lot and downloaded two days of
emails and book orders, printed shipping labels and answered emails.
DT found an adorable puppy in the parking lot. Someone had, at one time, put a
baby tee-shirt on the dog. The puppy had out-grown the tee-shirt and it must
have been very uncomfortable for the little guy. He gobbled up all our dog
biscuits and drank a bottle of water, but I could not get him close enough to me
to snip off the binding cloth. I tried! Hopefully the pup will hang around the
school and tomorrow a little kid will win him over?
After a quick shower, we were ready to hitch-up the Honda and drive with Mom and
Dad to Page, Arizona. However, they went ahead because we were having a brake
warning light issue. The warning light came on telling us something was wrong
with our brakes. Being practical, I told DT that HE should drive the motorhome
and I would follow in the car. I mean, seriously, why should we BOTH go over a
cliff? As suddenly as the fault light appeared, it disappeared - so we were able
to travel together today - in complete safety. And what a beautiful drive!
Simply fabulous vistas all 150 miles to Page - high mesas, mountains, cliffs,
spires and monuments... in all of Mother Nature's red-toned colors.
We all
checked-into the
Page-Lake Powell Campground and drove over to Glen Canyon on the Colorado
River to see the bridge and the
Glen Canyon Dam.
(NOTE: you are not allowed to bring anything into the visitor center or the Glen
Canyon Dam overlook. Not even your purse. Those terrorists may be hiding out in
a cave somewhere, but they are still stopping us from taking our purses inside a
visitor center!)

In the evening, we had a very nice pizza at
Strombolli's in
Page.
