Day 11: Thursday, September 14, 2006
Left Sedona around noon, and headed out towards Cannonville, UT and the KOA there.
Before leaving Sedona we had to stop and take pictures of Snoopy rock, we only just got these as within an hour Snoopy was covered in clouds. We drove through Flagstaff and for once didn’t get lost ;-). It had become a challenge for us to be able to make it though Flagstaff just once without getting lost. ;-) The key is to NOT follow their maps!
Along the way we came across major monsoon weather and saw some of the dry beds running well due to the rain. It was probably a bit slower going than we had anticipated but we weren’t really in a hurry so it didn’t matter.
We drove out on 89 through Glen Canyon and stopped at the Glen Canyon dam. I didn’t even know about this dam. We went to go inside and the security there is tighter than anywhere I have ever been before. We could only take in our wallet and camera, we weren’t allowed to take in our purse!
When we got inside we found out that we had just missed out on catching the last tour of the dam for the day. If we have time and are going back that way it would be really interesting to go on a tour of the dam to see how it was built and how it runs. We were able to walk across the bridge that crosses the Colorado River and get some good pictures of the river and the dam. Just a little scary for me being scared of heights –especially as the trucks crossing the bridge make it “bounce” ;-).
Crossing the border into Utah we lost an hour, but still made good time. We got to Cannonville KOA and were able to get on the internet with a good connection for once.
