Today finds us camped on the shore of Lake Powell just inside the border of Utah. We are seven miles from Page and will stay here until Monday and watch the cold front move through.
We couldn't be closer to the water. Almost got stuck in the sand but put the truck into four wheel drive and she pulled us out. Now we are sitting on a spot firm enough to support the weight of the trailer. There are four other trailers here but as you can see we all have plenty of space to camp. Cost is $10.00/night; $5.00 for seniors. Don't you just love growing old?
Sunset over Lake Powell. This site is called Lone Rock for the obvious reason.
Yesterday morning we visited the V-V Heritage site where we saw so many beautiful petroglyphs. These had been cut into the soft sandstone a 1,000 years ago.
Above and below you can see Mary's close up shots of the symbols.
The drawings are positioned in such a way that the spring solstice brings a shaft of sunlight across certain drawings telling the Indians it's time to plant their crops.
Today we will clean house, check out Page and keep an eye on the weather. Stop by tomorrow for some beautiful shots of Horseshoe Bend. It was an amazing site to visit.
Safe travels and thanks for stopping by.
