I'm up to Saturday, June 3rd. We haven't had internet access for a few days and I'm trying to catch up and remember as each day is so full. Today is Jeff's birhday and it is also a travelling day with lots of miles to cover. We pack up early and set out for Arizona. We pass through Albuquerque again and west on Route 40 to Gallup, NM. Then we head north and pass through hours on the Navajo Reservation which is larger than the state of West Virginia.
This is some of the most barren and beautiful land I've ever seen. Unfortunately there is no water as this area has been in a drought situation for eight years. The only place drier and dustier was the Hopi Reservation which is in the Center of the Navajo lands. The hills and rock formations are beautiful and the colors cannot be captured by my photography. The best treat is the calves and colts. There are so many babies and they are adorable. We have seen them lying in the fields taking a nap or learning to run alongside their moms.
We finally got to Page, AZ where we stopped for the night. This is a bustling little town which is at the bottom of Lake Powell and the Glen Rock National Recreation Area. We found a nice campgroud and had dinner at a cute Italian restaurant. We drove over to see the dam and it is impresssive. Later we shopped at a Wal Mart and went "home" to have birthday cake for Jeff's special day.
