Lees Ferry, AZ – September 10, 2012

We are now at Lee’s Ferry  Recreational Area over looking the Colorado River.  Our camp site looks down on the river. We’ve had several thunder showers go
through and the wind is blowing steady at 35-40.
This is a major starting point for rafting the Grand Canyon and I hope to get pictures of the rafts going down the river.  Don’t know when they start but I can see a bunch of rafts in the water about a mile up river and 3 tour buses have driven by and stopped where the rafts by the river.

Here is today’s camp site.

Homolovi State Park, Winslow, AZ – Tuesday September 13, 2011

Campsite Homolovi State Park at Winslow, AZ.  Yes that is large thunder storm to the right in the picture.

We went to Meteor Crater on Hwy 40 just west of Winslow Az.  It is actually really cool place, got there at 9:00 a.m. and left at 1:00.  Took a bunch of pictures, will have to stitch 3 together to do a whole picture of the crater.

We’ve had several thunder storms move over tonight, lost power twice but it seems to be staying on now.   Will move to Monument Valley tomorrow and then someplace north of Moab, Utah for Thursday night.  Friday morning starts the drive home.
