potty juice!

Antelope Canyon is the only non-National Park we wanted to visit. It was also a destination with the highest priority tier. Well, I think it was worth it. The canyons (Upper and Lower) are amazing and we just happened to show up in each at ideal times. The light beams were in full force through the snaking slit of sky above us in Upper and Lower was practically empty of people of rick in color and texture. Pretty amazing. We tried to get some decent photos - so I was packing 3 half-working tripods the whole way. Despite the malfunctions, we managed to get a few good shots. Go look at the photos!

After Antelope Canyon, we drove back into Utah to camp at an RV park near Capitol Reef National Park where we head tomorrow morning. RV Parks aren't my favorite - but they do have one big draw. Showers! The drive in Utah was pretty amazing, canyons, green mountains, really green fields with windy streams reflecting the blue sky. Horses grazing against lush green trees against lush green mountains and crazy blue sky. Valleys and hills patchily lit through the clouds with cows grazing and little farm houses dotting the countryside. It was land at peace at even whizzing by at 80mph made me feel pretty nice. Plus there were more longhorn cattle, which are always entertaining. We nearly hit a jackrabbit in the roadway and a cow just off the side of the road. We stopped to chat with the cow (there were NO other cars out there) but he didn't seem too entertained by us and seemed to be considering charging the shiny black cow in front of him. We snapped a photo and bolted.

I'll leave you for the night with a few quotes from today.
As we neared the dam at Lake Page:
Holly: "Oh, I wonder if they've dammed this lake."
Ellen: "Yeah, I saw the dam sign."

Holly needed to use the restroom at this cafe, so she bought a bottle of juice to legitimize using their facilities. Later on the road...
Holly: "OK, time to drink my potty juice!"
