We have arrived back in Page, AZ for a 13 week contract. So much has happened that it seems a bit crazy that it was just earlier this year when we came here the first time! We're happy to be staying 30 minutes out of town at a friend's place, who is renting us an RV space.We arrived here on Saturday and by Tuesday night had found a church, renewed our library card, secured a post office box, found an eye doctor and ordered new glasses for Makayla and I, and done some sightseeing!
You will probably remember our fascination with the homestead along the Colorado River that provided the only way to cross for hundreds of miles. Naturally, it was our first place to visit when we had time!
 |
| Ah, the Lonely Dell Ranch! |
 |
| "Take my picture, mom!" |
 |
| The lovely orchard that provided food for the families who ran the ferry as well as many travelers. |
 |
| We were hoping to find some fruit. |
 |
| And bingo! The very friendly ranger not only remembered us from earlier this year but also showed us the trees with pears! |
 |
| 120 years ago it was perfectly acceptable for people to live in small, practical homes and now some states want to get you in trouble if your kids don't each have their own room! Craziness, is what it is. |
 |
| Anjou pears! |
 |
| Pretty fall colors! |
 |
| It was so peaceful here! |
 |
| Due to recent rains, the Paria River was a churning, muddy mess! |
 |
| All day these amazing clouds were hanging over the Vermillion Cliffs. |
 |
| Isn't it stunning?! |
