Took a jaunt down to Marble Canyon and Lees Ferry today. Wore my USA Kilts Casual in MacPherson Hunting. Was a windy day - but I braved it. According to my lady I only "flashed" my tail end once in a gust at Navajo Bridge - it was extra windy out over Marble Canyon.


This pic is at Little Cut above Page, Arizona. We stopped to help some ladies who got their van stuck in the sand at a viewpoint. Turned out best I could do for them was call AAA, but that worked. Saw the blossoming cactus and took this pic. That's Navajo Mountain in the faint distance between my head and the tree.


This pic was out on the old Navajo Bridge over Marble Canyon of the Colorado River. Those are the Vermillion Cliffs in the background.


Here's one of the house rocks that House Rock Valley is named for. Some folks say its because the rocks are as big as a house - other say its because you can live under them. A bit of wind in the pleats.


Had planned to spend some time on Paria Beach but the water was high and the beach was gone. That's Paria Riffle in the background. Too small to be a rapid but the first white water for folks launching at Lees Ferry for a down canyon trip.


Here's a shot of the old fort at Lees Ferry. The ferrymen were worried about attacks from the Navajo or Paiute tribes so they built a fort. Never did have to use it.

Other than that one flare that my lady saw, the USA Casual did fine in constant and strong winds. And that one "reveal" happened over the canyon where the wind does all sorts of tricky things.
