The picture above is the site we were staying on in Hurricane, UT, at the Willow Wind RV Park. Except for the palm trees, this place reminded us of Outdoor Resorts in Port St. Lucie, FL, as it had concrete pads to park on, with grass on each side. This has been one of the best parks we have had the pleasure to stay at since we left. And leave we did, driving east to Page, Arizona, in the Lake Powell area. Again, the scenery along the way was fantastic (see the web album).
We arrived in Page, AZ in time for lunch, which gave us the opportunity to pinpoint the directions to the RV park we will be staying at, since our GPS didn't recognize the address. A quick call got us the exact directions, so we finished our lunch and proceeded to the park.
The picture, above, will give you an idea of what this park is like. Although the sites are not paved, the roads are, and we have a nice shade-tree on our site. The motor home is looking great, as we had it washed in Las Vegas (it was FILTHY!). And the rates here are very reasonable, even though it's not a Passport America (1/2 price) member park.After getting settled here, we drove back to the Glen Canyon Dam, which we passed on our way into Page. This dam was finished in 1963, and its completion formed Lake Powell, which is fed by the Colorado River, which continues from here into the Grand Canyon. The water level in Lake Powell is down at this time, due to the lack of rainfall in the area. The distance from the dam to the Hite Marina, where the Colorado empties into Lake Powell, is 127 miles! This is, to say the least, a very impressive lake. Tomorrow we will try to take a cruise on the lake to take some photographs and videos, as the scenery surrounding this lake is, in a word, breathtaking.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for the details of our cruise on Lake Powell.
