(Alan) Well, I'm still not quite 100% recovered from my bout with stomach flu. I have found that it's very hard to drink enough water on the bike when anything that touches your mouth (much less pee-warm plastic-tasting water bottle water) makes you nauseous.

We are staying at a campground in Page, AZ. On the way into town, we took the guided tour of Glen Canyon Dam, behind which lies Lake Powell. As an electrical engineer I can appreciate the technology. But it's a very different kind of engineering than I am used to. I consider a 50 pound instrument to be massive!
