Memorial Day Weekend

Caroline Wise at Lake Powell in Page, Arizona

Writing this in 2021 without a shred of notes nor dates of exactly when this was, the best we can figure is that this was during Memorial Day Weekend. This would have been our second trip to the Page, Arizona area, with our first one being with Ruby and Axel the year before.

John Wise at Glen Canyon Dam in Page, Arizona

On one of the days staying up here, we revisited the Glen Canyon Dam to get on a raft for a 15-mile float down the Colorado River.

Out on the river for the kind of Colorado River adventure we can afford.

Another part of this trip was a return to Antelope Canyon.

Lake Powell, Arizona

Finally, we got out on Lake Powell to go to Rainbow Bridge.

To the left in the background is Navajo Mountain, and directly behind us is the famous Rainbow Bridge. By the way, it was difficult to calculate where this trip fell on the calendar as neither Caroline nor I could figure out if we did these things solo the first time or did we went with Ruby and Axel. Pre-digital cameras, our film didn’t come with date stamps, nor did we always make notes regarding spontaneous travel. The giveaway was Caroline’s length of hair. When we moved to America had long hair just until after Ruby and Axel’s wedding. Initially, her hair was chin-length, and that was reflected in other scanned photos with us in some of these same locations. Here, with very short hair, we realized this had to be after that other trip.
