le 10 aout, nous passons la journée dans le coin de Page, près du barrage "Glen Canyon" Dam. Nous partons tôt de notre plage et testons un nouveau système permettant de démarrer la journée plus tôt : je roule et les enfants restent au lit peinards. apparemment ça secoue trop pour dormir arrivée au visitor center. portes closes. pourtant il est passé 8heures, l'heure d'ouverture. Explication : on vient de passer en Arizona et il y a une heure de décalage avec l'Utah. aprés avoir reservé une visite du barrage l'après-midi direction Antelope Point de l'autre coté de Page po [View Full Entry]

ANTELOPE SLOT CANYONS In 2007 my wife and I went to Kanab, Utah to try to get a permit for "The Wave" through their onsite lottery system. We camped the day before and got to the Ranger station before it opened. There, close to 100 people from all over the world stood in line. They only gave out 10 permits and 4 went to a group from Norway and 6 went to a group from Germany. Having driven all the way from Las Vegas, we felt that we should lift our heads up and enjoy what was around. After a couple [View Full Entry]

Ken got up earlier than me—he has an 8 am appointment to get the truck checked out, make sure it is OK. When you pulling 6000 lbs behind you, you don’t want to break down. I got up around 7:30 and now I’m sitting outside drinking my latte. It’s 87 degrees already, but I’m in shade so it is comfortable. The view of the lake is so pretty. There are a few boats on it already. I can’t help thinking about how Jason and his family were supposed to be here with us at Lake Powell. They would have loved it. [View Full Entry]

I blogged for a while until Ken called. The truck is fine; it was just the fuel filter. Must have picked up some bad gas. While he was waiting, he met an ole’ guy named Gary. He was having work done on his vehicle. He started talking to Ken (or more likely vice versa); He owns 16 acres near the North Rim and is trying to sell it. His wife died 6 months ago and he is so, so lonely. He has family back in California. He is going to move there; although he hates California; but his loneliness is more [View Full Entry]

In the middle of the night I woke up feeling sick….I think its something I ate. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep. Feel a little better this morning. Had my latte and nothing else. Ken ate cheerios. We took our time packing up. We only have 125 miles to travel today to get to Lake Powell. We will definitely come back here. A great place to come to get out of the hot Tucson summer. We didn’t see the buffalo on the way out. A deer ran in front of our car; a few seconds different in timing and [View Full Entry]

We began a 7 day houseboat trip on March 19 on Lake Powell in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. I was looking forward to this trip because the plans were to spend the majority of the time in the Escalante arm, an area of the lake I'd never seen. We camped the first night near the "Cookie Jar" formation in Padre Bay, then three nights in Willow Creek in Escalante, one night in Oak Canyon and the last night back in Padre Bay. We used a smaller motorboat for lots of side canyon exploring. We enjoyed beautiful weather with the exception [View Full Entry]

We've looked forward to today. Today we enjoy a morning boat ride on Lake Powell. We opted for the Navajo tapestry tour. This tour covers Navajo Canyon and Antelope Canyon. The rock formation that looks like a tapestry is our destination on Navajo Canyon. The narrow lake passageway is Antelope Canyon. In the afternoon we'll head on down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. There we'll enjoy the sunset of the canyon. [View Full Entry]

Vi var faktisk en del dage foran vores tidsplan...saa vi tog 3-4 dage i lake powel ved byen page. Det er et stort omraade hvar en daemning har lavet en stor kunstig soe, hvor tusindevis af amerikanere, og lidt internationale turister, tager op og nyder en masse vandsport og flotte dale og andre spaendende ting. Vi har stadig en dag tilbage her i lake powel, saa billeder fra den fantastiske antelope canyon kommer foerst op senere, maaske foerst naar vi naar til san fran sisco. Her er lidt billeder fra vorse lejr og saadan. [View Full Entry]

Der var en masse muligheder for vandsport, men da priserne var totalt latterlige, valgte vi at kajakke lidt rundt i soeen. Vi lejeder derfor to kajakker for en hel dag, og kastede os ud i projektet. [View Full Entry]
