The Last Day

The day finally came that we've all been dreading. Our last full day of vacation. Sara and I regrettably had to return to Minnesota while our friends Quent and Christina would stay for several more days.

The morning sun breaking through the overcast clouds over Bryce Canyon.

Morning sun against the walls of Bryce Canyon

The Glen Canyon Dam in Page, AZ. We stopped at the dam for a brief moment and went inside to read about its history. Fascinating stuff for all of us Civil Engineers. Christina was kind enough to humor us for awhile.
The Colorado River as hit heads south from the dam towards the Grand Canyon.

The road to nowhere? Or for Sara and I the road back home. We actually jumped out of the car to get this one.


Another lonely road. The occasional thunderstorm streaked across the horizon. None of us could seem to spot the "phantom" lightning that enamored Quent. We later did see the lightning with our own eyes. It was quite a show.

A large butte that dominated the surrounding sage.

Dark storm clouds above the sunlight terrain.

Standin on the corner in Winslow, AZ. Just as the famous Eagle's song says we were takin' it easy.
