Lone Rock Beach

The road from Flagstaff to Page AZ was washed out in a monsoon rain in summer of 2012 and the detour wasn't great when we were in the area last spring.  This time there is a new paved road through the Navajo Nation that gets you to Page from the south.  We camped at Lone Rock Beach on Lake Powell.  Gorgeous sand and sun.  We had our own tropical oasis.  Kids played in the sand and buried each other.

nice fake cry

We sat in our chairs and read and drank adult beverages.  Walked on the beach, had a barbeque and discussed staying for a week.  Paradise until it wasn't....next morning we are being pelted by a sand storm.  Other rigs are hooking up and moving out.  There is no question that we have to hit the road as sand can be worse than snow to be stuck in.  Also we already have sand in every crevice of the camper- no need for more.  It also looks like rain which means any dirt roads that are great when dry turn to impassable gumbo.  So we just keep driving to better weather.
