Sheldon and Geni's 2023 Gillette Trip
Today is: September 11
We woke up in: Kaibab, AZ We're going to sleep in: Kaibab, AZ

A great day, 75! Woke up to a great breakfast, Then we drove over to Page, AZ and took a tour of the Antelope Slot Canyons. They were formed by water flowing through sandstone. Really, really neat as you will see in photos below.

Then we went back to Kanab, UT for dinner at a very nice restaurant. We were just getting seated when a woman walked up and asked for Sheldon. Well, Dan made the reservation, so how could she know there was a Sheldon in the party. Not only that, but she was holding an envelope, was it a summons? What the hell did I do and how did they find me? Wow, with shaking hands I opend the envelope and found a gift certificate from my two beautiful step-daughters. Wow, thanks!!

Geni: It was a very special day and perfect to celebrate Shel becoming 75! We had a wonderful tour guide for the Canyon trip and she, Bernice, had previously provided tours for photographers. So she showed us how to take pictures of some angles inside the canyon that looked like figures. Then we went to a restaurant called Sego that was in Kanab. Dan and Michele had been there years ago. It was exceptional food so it made it a perfect ending to a fun day.
