Day eight, Page, Arizona

Last day in Page, as we head for the north rim of the Grand Canyon tomorrow. It was a thoroughly busy day:

The RV group started the day with a breakfast in the marina hotel’s restaurant. The food was good, the conversation enjoyable, and the view of the houseboats in the marina excellent.

The two of us then drove a little south through town. We had floated through Horseshoe Bend on the river yesterday, but today we drove to an overlook. A photo from this location was used in an earlier version of Windows (someone will have to research which version that was). It was an easy walk and an incredible view. Leila ended up with the best photo this trip…see below.

In the afternoon our group took a trip to see the Antelope Slot Canyon on tribal land. It is amazing how this crack in the ground became such a beautiful place in the middle of the desert.

As I said, tomorrow is moving day. It won’t be a long drive, only about 80 miles. I’m not sure what kind of internet service we’ll have, so the next edition of this blog may be delayed. The weather forecast is for cooler weather and for rain/thunderstorms as well. After a week hovering around 100 degrees the coolness will be welcome.

It was certainly the coolest place. The only light here is that coming from the crack in the earth above our heads.
