Bridge over troubled water

After our stormy night, it was a clear early morning so we headed off to the Rainbow Bridge National Monument.  It's 50 miles up lake, and then a significant distance down a canyon.  It's the largest freestanding natural arch in the world, and is a sacred place to many western Indian tribes. Due to our early start, we actually had it to ourselves for awhile.   Rich enjoyed navigating the narrow slot canyons to reach the site.

We stopped for lunch in a quiet grotto....but even on vacation someone has to do the dishes. 

Back to our beach, we managed to finish making dinner before the rains came again.  Our lake Powell nights have been rough.  But the storm broke an hour before dawn, and the stars were pretty bright.  So another tough night for sleeping but after a very enjoyable day of cruising. (Well-maybe more than cruising...we were going pretty fast at times.  No speed limit!)
