Lake Powell -Glen Canyon Dam

Sunday morning we visited Grand Canyon Desert View on our way north to Glendale, Utah. The day consisted of a 250 mile drive with plenty of time for the Moose to learn about mountain driving. After overheating the transmission once on Friday he now has the hang of it. Travel in the Moose is somewhat different than a car. I find my concentration on the road versus the scenery and Karen finds the higher view somewhat disconcerting, especially when drop offs are present. A stop at Lake Powell  let us view the gorge bridge, dam, and lake; and $10 got us a tour inside the dam.  This dam is almost as large as Hoover, making it the second largest in the US.  It only has eight turbines, half that of Hoover, and it's main purpose is water control with the electric as a bonus.

We are now in Glendale, Utah for three nights. Bauer's Canyon Ranch (a nice small park) has about twenty spaces, is half full, and four rigs are from Ohio.
