EASTER SUNDAY - LAKE POWELL,AZ

April 24, 2011 Sunday 

Saturday after touring Glen Canyon Dam we checked in at Wahweap RV Park & Campground.

                           

                              Our space.                                                      The view from our space.

                                    

                                                                     Wild flowers of the area.

                              

We went into Page to the United Methodist Church  for the Easter Sunday Service.  It was very nice.  The children made pretzel peanut butter nests with marshmallow chicks on them for after the service.  

                              

                               We saw a number of boats in the lake as we drove home from Church.

                              

         

                                  

The Navajo Generating Station burns coal but is so clean it only gives  off steam.   The coal deposit will last 200 more years.  The power generated is more than that produced by Glen Canyon Dan and Hoover Dam combined.   WOW!                                                              

 

 

 

                              

The spaces at Wahweap RV Park & Campground were large and had a fire ring as well as a barbeque and picnic table to the left of the car.   We saw 2 rainbows from our campsite.                                                                     

                                                    

We ended up staying 3 nights and used the laundry at the Camp Store/Registration building.  It was a nice place to stay.

Heading North to Lake Powell

April 21, 2011

We left Yuma in the forenoon on Thursday the 21st of April 2011. 

               

     Hooked up and ready to travel.   We passed the University of  Phoenix Stadium with it's cardinal head.

We stopped for the night in Surprise, AZ at Sunflower RV Resort.  It had 1100 sites...mostly Park Models.  It was a passport America park so we paid 1/2 price.  $..... but it had a pool and hot tub that I felt I needed as I had twisted my knee that day.

                

There were lots of activities and rooms for them. I enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

                

                 

                        Lap Pool                                                       Hot Tub for 22 people              

                 

                  

            Mail boxes for 1100                                                 Dance floor with Stage

                

            Lots of Pool tables                                                         Wood & Metal shop

                                 

              Woodcarvings                                                        Large exercise room

                 

      A number of meeting rooms....This one up stairs and with lovely stained glass windows

                 

         Vehicle Wash station                                                  Easter egg garden

                

                 

The RV sites weren't very wide (even smaller than CG) and the tables were between 2 RV's.  We were in the  upper right hand corner of the park with the pools and buildings in the center.  It had great facilities but the pool was small and it was a larger park than I like.  It was fun to stay for a night though.  It reminded me of Country Roads in Yuma.
