Lone Rock Beach
Page, Arizona

Arrived after dark last night. Strange place to come to at night, no signs, no maps, just a computer station that takes your credit card and charges 8 dollars to camp on a huge expanse of beach on the west side of Lake Powell. After much testing of sand softness and tribulations we selected a spot and went to sleep. This morning we found out we selected quite well and it was off to the water for Henry’s daily swim. How we keep finding water for him in the desert I’m not quite sure but I’ve come to believe he is directing the trip, cause we keep finding it. Heard about another bus in Colorado Springs so that’s the new direction. Also Jesse has been down in Albuquerque and he is heading back to Boulder on Thursday so we’ll try to hook up with him somewhere along the interstate.
Very basic camp, no hook ups and they are quite strict about any kind of waste water. There are copious amounts of out houses so your covered but if you camp more than 200 feet from one you must have a chemical toilet of your own. But there are what seems like miles of beach and it was quite deserted. It’s just across the Utah line on HWY 89. With 4×4 you can go anywhere and with a good car you’ll be fine.
