On The Meandering Road: May 10, 2018 - Flagstaff, AZ to Page, AZ

We checked out of Woody Mountain Campground at 9:45 am, took I-40E toward Highway 89 North (Exit #201) to avoid traffic in downtown Flagstaff.

We went to Maverick Gas Station on Highway 89 to get diesel fill-up ($3.07) because in Page the average price per gallon for diesel was about $3.29.

The drive along Highway 89 was pleasant and the views were stunning. Even though we drove on this same highway last year we still did not remember much of the scene!

Yesterday Erwin made a reservation for a site at Wahweap Campground in Glen Canyon Recreation Area by Lake Powell for 2 nights The sites with full hookups were already booked, so they put us to dry camp area (no hookups). The use of generator is allowed between 6 am-10 pm, so that will work for us if we ever need electricity.

We arrived Wahweap Campground at 1:45 pm, went straight to the office. While there we asked if it was possible to move us to sites with full hookups. No luck; however, there was a cancellation for tomorrow. We were assigned to site #93 in Loop 4 area.

The site #93 was in a poor shape, but Erwin managed to get our Lil' Home set up good.. We had a nice view of Lake Powell and the mountains in the distance.

After late lunch I went out by myself to explore some areas and to take pictures. I crossed the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge, then turned left to a dirt road that leads to a trailhead at the end. There is a large parking lot with a good view of the bridge and the dam.

There were hundreds and hundreds of houseboats
moored at the marina

After supper Erwin and I went out for a ride to some viewpoints along Lake Powell to admire the scenery just as the sun was setting down. Afterwards we went to downtown Page to get gas fill-up for the Pilot, then to Walmart to get snacks and drinks for tomorrow's outing.

After coming back home to drop off the groceries I went off by myself to try and se if |I could get good pictures of the stars, After several tries I finally got one I liked. The MIlky Way, at that time, had not appeared.
