Rafting, Swimming in Lake Powell, Adventures in Trailer Cooking

What an amazing day. David got up to do everything that had to be done to the trailer before we left for Rafting and was able to figure out that Arizona is actually the same time as CA, so he got up an extra hour early. Poor guy! We headed out to check in by 7 and we were on the river by 8 and it was already 88. I only have a picture of the dam because I packed away my phone and used the other camera for the trip. The canyon walls were so beautiful and our tour guide was laid back and at one point got out a Navajo flute to play for us. We beached for awhile and we all dunked ourselves in the 45 degree water. It felt so good after being so hot. We were dry in about 10 minutes!
After the bus ride back to the car, we had some lunch and let David rest for only a minute or two and then to the pool and to the lake beach for swimming. David commented that it tasted like algae. Eew! We stayed in for a bit anyway and I rubbed the superfine red sand all over like a mud bath! My skin felt so smooth! Poor man's spa! :)
I had the idea to make chicken enchiladas in the trailer with a rotisserie chicken from Walmart but after everything was prep'd we couldn't get the oven working. I improvised by heating the stuff up on the stove, rolling them and just pouring hot sauce, sour cream, and cheese mixed together on top with tomatoes and olives. Added some rehydrated refried beans and dinner was great!
We sat outside in the desert evening, still over 90!, and made up stories. We would go around to each of us adding the next sentence, but Luke's were about farting or blowing things up and Vivy's were about love and babies, so it just kept turning into the same story!
The a/c works great in the trailer! We set it to 75 for the night and it did not turn off once!
I will fill the day's pictures when I get them downloaded.
