Horseshoe Bend

This morning, it was nice to wake up to the sound of silence.  No wind at all.  With this new Mountain Time, it was already 9 o'clock with lots of sunshine.

After being cooped up all afternoon yesterday, it was nice to step outside without getting sand in your eyes.  Pulled out some rugs and chairs and we all sat outside enjoying the warm sunshine.  It's going to be a beautiful day.

Had a full breakfast and leisurely drank two cups of coffee while sitting and overlooking Lake Powell.  It was passed noon when we decided to make the short drive to Horseshoe Bend just south of Page, Arizona.  I've seen pictures of this famous part of the Colorado River, but now I can say I've been there, done that.

I took both Yuma and Teddy with me.  It was a good walk of about a half mile down to the overlook.  They got lots of attention and pets going and coming back.  I was suprised at the number of people that were here.  I'm glad no one fell over the edge while I was there.  There were enough nuts climbing the rocks very near the edge.

It was quite warm and poor Teddy needed to be carried part way back, but we made the climb.  We stopped to buy milk in Page on the way back to camp.  Going to walk down to the lake's edge, then sit out and enjoy the remainder of the day, have dinner and call it a night.

That last walk down to the lake's edge and back wore me out.  

Thanks for stopping by.
