Page, AZ, Glen Canyon and Lake Powell






We are told that the Utah border is just after the stop sign. Which means, we're camping in Utah, but most of our activities take place in Arizona. Arizona does not recognize Daylight Savings Time, so we're now the same as Pacific Time. Yes, we're a bit confused also.

Yesterday we took off very early so we could get to Page and the RV service center. A part has been ordered for the air conditioner and if we're lucky it will be here on Monday and we can get it installed on Tuesday. We leave for the Grand Canyon's North Rim on Wednesday!

The visitors' center at the dam is wonderful and we saw the Oasis movie. Saturday we took a dam tour and it's most impressive. As the daughter of an assistant power plant operator, I've seen a few dams and power houses in my time. I hadn't seen this one before, however.

In the afternoon we had our raft trip to Lee's Ferry and it was a smooth and relaxing ride. The scenery, of course, was spectacular. A large bus took us to and from the launching sites.
