Our last two adventures before entering Utah was the Walnut Canyon National Monument near Flagstaff and the Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River very close to Lake Powell. Those were Joan’s anyway, I thought the fried chicken stood out at the Bird House in Page…but eating is my hobby and good fried chicken has a place in my heart.
Walnut Canyon was an easy 1 mile hike to see the cliff dwellings of the old Sinagua tribe that lived in the mountains in the 1200’s. It was unbelievable to see how they carved into the mountains to create their homes. They even took the time to create switchbacks so they could visit their neighbors. If I was around back then I guarantee you would have to come to my house to see me, my history of missteps would not be convenient here.
Just as interesting was the Horseshoe Bend, as the sign says a superb example of entrenched meander. When I looked that up I found that it was Geology speak for “bend in the River that looks like a horseshoe”…who knew?!
Another small, but aren’t they all small, issue with the trailer. Seems the outlets won’t work so we are having to charge our devises at the RV Offices. It appears the breaker is bad because I can’t get it to reset, guess I’ll find out in St George…Little Al has an appointment with Dr. Marcus Lemonis.
Joanie, are you in one of those mountain homes?
There you are.
On the cliffs.
Shopping on the cliff.
Little Al was nervous up so high.
Not a National Park.
Worth the stop.
Seriously, Joan found a church?
“Step off mam, I do the stamping in these parts.”
Made it.
Still smiling…although that trailer thing can create some stress.
Hold on there.
Happy time.
Joanie even better closer, I better viewing at a distance.
Does anyone see a horseshoe?
Little Al…Little Al………duck!
Ready for tomorrow.

“You are a better man than I Gunga Din!” I would have given up at the broken water heater.
After we visited Walnut Canyon, I was wondering how those people raised any kids to adulthood. It would only take one wrong step.
Can’t wait to see what’s next.
