At Lake Powell, rainbow bridge

After a four day road trip from San Antonio to Page Arizona we launched at Lake Powell on Monday morning.  On the road trip we stayed at RV parks whichs worked out pretty well.  Lake Powell is very spectacular. Deep and narrow canyons,  Previously on this trip we have been watching the depth with 12' being in the channel and less than three feet getting into trouble.  Here in the channel is >250' and because there is so much up and down anything less than 50' needs watching.  Weather is cooler but still pleasant, thunderstorms but we just get close to the cliff walls and only worry about the wind.

Tonight we can see Navahoe mountain so that we have cell coverage, mostly we are in deep canyons and can only see the near vertical cliff faces.

We have been in a couple of canyons where the depth is 200' but only 25' wide with twists and turns.

Frances is taking lots of pictures, mostly rocks.

Anchorage is nosing into a sandy beach, which are rare, and putting an anchor out on the beach and tying the other side to a rock.

Today at Rainbow bridge.
