Aug 27, 2011 Green Valley to Page, AZ




Here we go again. Get the children and old folks out of the streets. This trip, like the last one will be without Starship Avion. We're off to Mt. Carmel, Utah which is just down the road from where we stayed a week in May.
Betsy is taking three days of pastel instruction from a nationally know artist. The classes are actually at the summer studio of Maynard Dixon which was shown in our May 30, 2011 blog entry. We took off early this AM and headed to Page, AZ. Of course, Page is next door to Glen Canyon Dam which created Lake Powell. The beauty of the red sandstone along with the blue water just amazes me. And get this--the shoreline of Lake Powell with all it's nooks and crannies is longer than our entire Pacific coastline. We visited the Glen Canyon Dam visitors center and then found a road that led to a small swimming area. We hiked over the sandstone and found a small slot canyon. We didn't expect it to be so hot up here. It was close to 100 degree's.
