Woke up to a cool morning with a little breeze. Just enough to put a chill in the air. Turned Big Buddy on for about 15 minutes. It is going to be a cool partly cloudy day; but, luckily, I don't have anything planned for outside that will take a lot of time.
After a long breakfast and walks with the dogs, we finally jumped into the Jeep heading the 9 miles to Glen Canyon Dam. It is located between us and Page, so I have traveled over the bridge several times. It is a beautiful sight and Page overlooks it.
Page was founded in 1957 and is at 4200 feet in elevation. I'm sure winters are cool here. It is a beautiful little town with not much traffic. The people are mostly out of towners viewing all the sights around here.
Not too much to say, so I will let the pictures do most of the talking.

I do want to mention, today is the solar Eclipse Day. Dolly is located in the right place to see almost 100%; but unfortunately, I am not. I didn't buy glasses, so no looking up for me.
Dolly is babysitting, the Gibbons family dog Mo, while they are in Los Angeles. He and Dolly were prepared to see the eclipse.

Wonderful pictures of the river and Glen Dam. What a beautiful area. How lucky are the people of Page. The solar eclipse was inspiring. Not totality here, but only a small sliver wasn't covered. That sliver was bright red. I'm sorry you and the boys missed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dolly. I'll catch the next one 😀

Thank you, Deb.
DeleteGreat pictures of some beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteThank you. A different kind of desert up here.
DeleteDon't comment often, but had to over your granddaughter visiting USC. We are a Trojan family as my husband received his Ph.D and M.D. degrees there and was a Professor for many years before the M.D. degrees. Good luck to Erin and Go Trojans!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm hoping our Midwest granddaughter spreads her wings and decides to fly into the future. I will post her decision.
DeleteShe chose USC!
DeleteLove that area of the country! We camped right where you are a few years ago. The big rock had no water surrounding it! Glad to see the change this year! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it was lower. Glad it's improving. Beautiful area. Don't like it when it is windy. 😞
DeleteReally great pictures! Beautiful area. Finally starting to get nice around here.
ReplyDeleteThat's good. You could have used some on that run the other day.
DeleteThe town of Page was interesting. Since it was built in 1957 there were no "old" buildings. Lots of mid-century homes...lol.
ReplyDeleteThey do have an old motel section of town.
DeleteBeautiful pictures, Doug.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGreat photos Doug.
