Today we drove 300 miles to Lees Ferry National Park just below Glen Canyon Dam and the place where people start their trip floating the Grand Canyon. The drive out from Navajo Lake added a little interest to the trip. At 5:00 a.m. this morning a THUNDER storm came through the area so there were several places where there was mud across the road. The highway folks had already been out and bladed the road however in a couple of spot the mud was still at least a 1/2 in thick. To say the car got dirty would be an understatement. We stopped at Kayenta to get gas and I could at least get some of the dirt off the windshield so I’d be able to drive the car after we got to the campground.
When we got to Lees Ferry campground both of the river view spots were taken. We first moved into site 44 and then moved to 46 which is right next to 44. We moved because site 46 actually angles into site 44 this way hoping no one would camp to close to us.
A little after 5:00 the people who were camped in one of the view sites showed up and left. They had left there trailer in the site all day and then left at 5:00 p.m. Rude on their part good for us, we moved into one of the front view sites, number 47.
This is site 47.
View form site 44, the first site we were in.
This is the view from our picnic table with the large metal cover to keep the sun off ME.

It is going to be warm here 85 to 95 during our stay. Plan is to leave Sunday for Jacob’s Lake, Az or Sand Hollow State Park by Hurricane, Utah.
