Page, Az Glen Canyon, Lake Powell

After more than a week camped with a great view at Goosenecks State Park in south eastern Utah, it was time to move on.  Our original plan, if you can call random wandering a plan, was to keep on heading north towards Moab, checking out the southern sections of Canyonlands National Park along the way.  But, after checking the weather reports, and checking out intriguing sections of the map, it was decided that some minor backtracking was in order.  So, back through Monument Valley we went, and then hung a right which took us west, and eventually into Page, Az.

About this time, we had a little fridge issue.  One day, the light inside decided not to come on.  I checked the bulb, and it was OK, as was the fuse, but there did not seem to be any power at the switch.  That was not a big concern to me – until that is, I noticed that things were not as cold as they should be!  Oh oh.  What now?  There is a small light at the top of the fridge that comes on if there is a problem (with the gas?), but it was not lit.  Then I started to check the buttons that switch the unit from electric to gas, and on and off …

Well it seems that someone (!)(Can’t blame Hailey, she’s too short) must have accidentally pushed this tiny button while reaching into the cupboard above and – turned the fridge off!  One small click, and I heard the flame light, and I opened the door and was almost blinded by the light as I reached for a cool-ish beverage to celebrate the lack of a costly repair or loss of anything in the freezer section.

Now, where were we …

Page’s claim to fame, and very reason for it’s existence, is the Glen Canyon Dam, which now prevents Lake Powell from splashing down into the Grand Canyon.

Flowers were blooming away …

Wildlife was out and about.  Well, trying to hide, actually!

This little guy wasn’t impressed when I moved his rock.

Hailey went out for an evening hunt …

But it wasn’t all just fun and games. 

Well, then again maybe it was!
