    Trip to Page, AZ
    My mission, should I choose to accept it: Fly to Page, Arizona, view the spectacular scenery of Lake Powell, take photos, land, get some lunch. Should I accept? :roll:


    DUH!!! :!: :!:






    6 Sept. I find myself on the ramp before sunup. Good start. :P






    Fly north out of Glendale. What's this? Is it the famous Grand Canyon I see in the distance? :shock:






    The mystery unfolds. A dramatic geographic site not mentioned in my instructions. Could it be the fabled Little Colorado River Gorge?






    For perspective, looking to the northwest as I cross the chasm, I can see how the Little Colorado River Gorge undulates it's way to join the BIG PICTURE! :!:






    Hoo boy! I'm earning my exhorbitant pay now :!: Yes, this is the power dam at Page, holding back Lake Powell. Note to self: get camera ready. :P






    Ahhhhh, how sweet it is. :lol: :lol: A beautiful airport lies beneath as I pass over the remote city of Page. I'll be back for lunch. :wink:






    Here we go :!: No more messing around. Serious photo-taking in progress now :!: Will I stand up under the strain?






    It doesn't get better than this. Ordinary folk pay the big bucks to be flown up here for this kind of scenery. I brought my self up to see. :D


    Why do we fly? :roll: You just saw the answer. :P :P

    Thanks Daniel. I do appreciate the spectacular scenery around me and take full advantage of it, but I'm sure you have some very pleasant green farms and fields there, which we're a little short of.... :-) I'm off on a trip to California and will have new pics in short order.

    Ken
