Continuing towards Lake Powell,AZ

April 22 & 23, 2011  Friday & Saturday

As we traveled North we enjoyed the scenery.

                                   

     The Palo Verde trees were blooming  and we passed an area with many Saguaro Cactus.  None were blooming yet although some were budding.

                                   

                                                                                                We hit some steep roads.

                                    

                                    

               Sunset was the nicest Rest Area we have ever been in.  It was exceptionally well maintained.

                It is always busy and has a large crew working there.

                                                           

               There are helpful information boards.        Arizona has closed some Rest Areas to save money.

                                       

                         The vegetation changed from Cactus to Evergreens as we continued.

We spent the night in a Flagstaff Wal Mart parking lot.   There were a number of others camping there.

                                        

What looked like a  go anywhere RV, pickup camper, small trailer, fifth wheel as well as larger RV's like ours.  In the morning we were able to help a disabled woman roll up the awning  on a rented RV that had partly unrolled as they traveled.  Hoyt was her Hero!

                                         

                                        

                                           In the afternoon we arrived at Page, AZ the town that came into being in 1957 when Glen Canyon Dam was being built.
