Lots of orange colored sand – the pictures do not do it justice!

A little town where all the houses were either blue or had blue roofs – not sure why:

Lots of free roaming horses and most were beautiful:

At the junction with US-160, we headed west:

We arrived at the Elks Lodge in Page where we will be for a couple of days.  The last time we were here was in November of 2011 but this time we decided to do electric and water.

After setting up, we went for supplies and then Happy Hour at the Lodge – another wonderful, fun time meeting everyone here.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s adventure.
