TUESDAY July 1,
Left Albuquerque, finally driving west. Refuse to stop in New Mexico. Wait until Flagstaff, where we detour towards Canyon. Grand Canyon South Rim, walk until sunset. After dark return to campground (Mather) make (precooked) chicken. Drink wine, play scrabble, sleep.
WEDNESDAY July 2,
Wake at 9, pack up camp, see canyon again. Drive East Rim through Navajo Reservation. Great [?] barrier on eastern side of road showing great symbolism of separation. Drive up through canyon west to Page and then to Glen Canyon Dam--enormous in size. Powerlines encompass upper portion. Lake forms north of dam. Lake Powell a wonder to the eye. Colors everywhere: water blue rock red, white, pink and brown; sky clear. Camp after getting stuck on sandy road to beach. Swim in cold Colorado River water for hour. Return to tent for dinner. Wind prevents fire.
