After seeing Sequoia National Park, we headed toward Page, Arizona and Lake Powell, We traveled northeast on I-15 and came across this road sign. I thought it was interesting! The only other state which used letters for road signs that I remember is Missiouri. I also wonder where road Zzyzw or Zzyzy is! (Mind boggling, sin't it!)
We also missed this wreck, fortunately. This vehicle had a trailer behind it and rolled off the highway. I do hope no one was hurt badly.
You see the strangest things on a highway! This vehicle was a rolling "California Grill Truck". "California Grill Truck first rolled out on its wheels in the summer of 2011 by Chef Danny Moon. Moon and his talented team of grillers were all built together through his passion for food. Starting from the back of the kitchen to the front of the sushi bar, Moon’s drive to create delicious and delectable dishes became his joy in life. As a head chef for ten years at both Korean and Japanese restaurants, Moon realized that his unique background and experiences could present a special pathway for a food truck."....This was from their website: californiagrilltruck.com.
After passing through Las Vegas and all of Nevada on I-15, we went through a small corner of Arizona and the Virgin River Canyon. This time, it was not dark or raining so I was able to shoot some nice photos of this incredible canyon. This is the beginning and a shot of the Virgin River.
It is hard to capture the scale or beauty of this place with a camera! (Note the "small" trucks way ahead.) It is wonderful!
Next place we went through was St. George, Utah, and saw the white Temple in contrast to the red cliffs behind it. It is such a beautiful temple!
North of St. George we turned off I-15 to Rt 9 at Hurricane and headed to Rt 59. We took it south through Colorado City, Az to Fredonia, Az and took 89 north to Kanab, Utah..
This rock formation is near Fredonia, Arizona. We were in and out of Utah and Arizona several times due to Rt 89 and it's wanderings.
Now we are back in Utah heading toward Kanab.
I love this Pizza sign in Kanab!
I know you have missed my barn photos! This is an old one!
Now we are getting cloiser to Page, Arizona. This is an interesting outcropping. It is huge! You can see a fence off to the right front for perspective.
This is the road across the canyon near the dam which "birthed" the town of Page. The town began in 1957 as a housing camp for workers on the Glen Canyon Dam, which ultimately created Lake Powell. Lake Powell took 17 year to fill.
Jim made me drive across that bridge above the dam. What a meanie! Can you see my white knuckles on the steering wheel? (only kidding...but I WAS concentrating!)
This is a gorgeous photo of Lake Powell and is hanging in the lobby of the Wahweep Lodge, where we boarded a boat for a 5 1/2 hr tour of part of Lake Powell.
Jim is anxiously awaiting the boat tour!
This is just one of the scenes on the lake.
