It just keeps getting better!! What a country! The drive to Page was interesting--just south of Flagstaff we saw lots of snow, where the roads had been plowed. Then we drove thru mountains, then flat land, then red rocks--then desert, then pasture land.--arriving in Page early afternoon, then on to see Horseshoe Bend--on the Colorado river, just south of the dam at lake Powell. Awsome!! 1st/2nd pic. this morning we walked around the rocks near the town. 3rd pics. And I don't know how we do it but we ended up on another dirt road!!! about 20
miles out to see one of the bays of Lake Powell. We drove over the what was the bottom of the ocean--many years ago--of course!! 4th pic We stopped to talk to the BLM rangers--they said that since 1998 they have been finding all kinds of dinosaur bones in this area--at least one a month since then. 80% of these have never been discovered before. We saw a diorama of what the area might have looked like---pretty neat stuff--I couldn't begin to remember the names of any of them. We finally arrived at the overlook for lake Powell--the lake is so low that it really wasn't very impressive.--but sending a couple of pics anyway. More tomorrow.
