Williams to Wahweap in Page, AZ

Saturday’s drive was east on I40, then north on AZ89.  All road surfaces are just abysmal until you get within 20 or so miles of Page.  In addition to being full of cracks that pound the bus, it’s nap of the earth hilly and there is a lot of crown on the road.   When it’s windy, it’s painful. 

When we left Williams we stopped at a Pilot at exit 185 on I40.  It’s a terrible Pilot.  Traffic enters and exits through the same narrow driveway.  When the trucks are lined up for fuel you can’t get in, and you can’t get out because the exit is blocked.  I think next time we’ll try Little America in Flagstaff.  Once you are on 89 there are no truck plazas.  There was one gas station in Cameron that looked doable if you were able to get the pump closest to the road.

Having said all of that, it’s a beautiful drive.

This is the amazing cut in the rock that lets the highway through.

Scenery.

Lake Powell.  It’s very low.  One wonders why Arizona keeps building golf courses.

This is the Glen Canyon dam.  It’s on the Colorado river.

At the campsite we see this.

Well, that was my burst transmission from Kanab, where the force of the internet is week.  Think I'll put this up while I can.
