Spring 2012: Tuesday (4/17) thru Wednesday (4/18) – Slickrock to Lake Powell

Tuesday was laundry, groceries, and clean-up to get ready to move to Page, AZ.  Vaughan did take some time to finally ride his bicycle on the Slickrock Trail before we leave Moab.  He didn’t get far before he realized that riding something with a motor was a lot less taxing on the body.

Wednesday we headed for Page, Arizona.  Our route took us through Mexican Hat, Monument Valley, past lots of roadside Navajo jewelry stands, and finally into Page.  We finally made it to the RV park only to find out they did not want to honor the monthly rate they quoted us.  After producing our email and utilizing the assertiveness training provided over the years at Bell Labs, they saw it my way and here we are.  We did take a quick drive through town and to the Glen Canyon Bridge and Dam. 

Vaughan's last ride on the Slickrock Trail.

This is Navajo Twin Rocks in Bluff Utah.  Not much of a town but the rocks were cool.

This is Mexican Hat.  I wonder how much longer they'll be able to call it that.

Monument Valley - on the Arizona border.

Glen Canyon Bridge in Page, AZ.  

It's hard to believe that this is built into the side of the cliffs without anything below.

Here is the Glen Canyon Dam holding back Lake Powell.
