One of the big things Lake Powell is known for is Rainbow Bridge National Monument. It's considered the biggest natural bridge in the world but if you get technical, it's not. In order to reach it, you can spend 3-4 days backpacking the 18 miles of rough terrain or bring a boat 50 miles up Lake Powell from Page. I didn't even add it to our list of things to do while here, especially when we looked into renting a boat and realized we didn't want to spend $500 for one day on the lake! However, one of the many friends Eldon made at work offered to take us up on his speedboat. Ummm, yes! So today it ended up being 3 adults and 8 children 11 and under since Dr. Cluff's wife is gone this weekend. There was a few interesting moments but in the end we all had a great day!

| Notice, we're still driving down the boat ramp but these little guys already have cookies in hand! |
 |
| 40 miles an hour makes a lot of wind! |

| Our boat is the one in the middle. |

| It was amazing how green it was! |
 |
| And, there it is! |
 |
| We're so happy we got to experience this! |
 |
| There's just nothing like nature to remind you of God's greatness and power! |
 |
| See the graffiti? It was done as an example of petroglyphs. |
 |
| Saw these 4 cuties and snapped their picture. |

| Headed back to Page- about an hour an a half full speed! |
 |
| Love this country! |

| New friends, pretty and windblown :). |
