Tuesday March 17, 2020 we left Camp Verde, AZ and drove north to Page, AZ. Page is a small town in northern Arizona on the Utah border. Here we wanted to see Antelope Canyon however due to the Corona Virus tours were halted. We did see the other sites we wanted to see. The drive north was GORGEOUS!

Page, Arizona
"Page is a small town in northern Arizona on the Utah border. Here we wanted to see Antelope Canyon however due to the Corona Virus tours were halted." These words stopped me in my tracks. Here we are in Australia about to somehow cancel an RV we have booked and paid for as Bluesfest has been cancelled in April, and it hits me hard that of course the confined spaces of the exquisite Antelope Canyon in SW USA is closed due to unacceptable risk of infection. We had the most wonderful self-drive through Utah and Arizona 5 years ago in a polar vortex. It saddens me that in these pandemic fear times, the stunning scenery would be the same but our mixing with the locals could not be approached as carefree as it was back then. Other than that one hopes the superb expanses are smiling and as long as one stays safe, there is probably no better area to be in right now.

Polar Vortex
I can't imagine driving through the area in a Polar Vortex:). We had a squall yesterday on RT. 89 and were so glad we weren't yet in the hills. We hadn't and prefer not to drive the motorhome in the snow. The virus is definitely changing lots of peoples plans. I just hope that the measures will protect the most vulnerable. Meanwhile we will roll with the changes and modify our plans as needed. Enjoy Australia and be safe yourself. Thank you for following along. Take care.
