At 5:31 am last Saturday morning I got a text from Andy: "Hi. I am up-see you in twentyish minutes?" Within about a half-hour, he had showered, filled up on gas ($1.89/gal!), and was at my front door. We were on our way to Arizona!
We had both slept okay. Somehow Andy's definition of sleeping "okay" means waking up every half hour and at times lying awake only half-way covered by a blanket. We chatted for awhile, and pretty soon I was asleep again.
Our first rest stop was a potty break around 8 in Historic Covefort/Chevron. I wasn't sure what the historical significance of the place was, but I could confidently report that their facilities are adequate. Here's a picture of us there:
Here are a few more random pics from the way down.
A couple of pictures of Glen Canyonwood Dam (much more impressive in real life):
