On To Arizona

11 Sep 2010--Left Utah today after a total of about 6 weeks. Just wanted to go on the record that we totally loved being there, and will miss the startling beauty of it!

Headed southeast today, mostly east to Page, Az, which is located in the north central part of the state, only a few miles from the Utah border. Just a few pics of the drive.




We will be in Page for a week, still trying to figure out where we are going tomorrow and beyond. I like both the state flag and the license plates.




Right beyond the "Welcome to Arizona" sign were our first views of Arizona. A little hazy due to the smog...there is something about these smokestacks against the beautiful background that is much more depressing than if we had seen it in a big city.



This is the campground we are in, and a view of Lake Powell right up the street from us. We will be taking a boat cruise of the Lake Powell area, we just don't know which day yet.

P.S. Arizona is one of maybe 2 states (Indiana?) that doesn't change time zones during the course of the year, so we are now 3 hours behind Boston time, and 2 hours behind San Antonio. Stay tuned!

  1. Your right about the smokestacks, they look so out of place!!!! What part of the Grand Canyon will you be at?

  2. It's unanimous, the smokestacks look totally out of place. Unlike Boston where they are part of the panoramic view!
    I'm going to play the number on the license plate. I'll let you know if I lose my dollar or win a million.
    Enjoy your Lake Powell boat cruise!
