Decided to head over to Page again to try to hike the Wave but failed in two days to get in.
Going west the winds were around 35 kts headwind component at 16,500' plus I slowed in case of turbulence so my ground speed was usually below 110 kts. I did not have radar coverage for flight following the entire trip which is one reason why I have a PLB. An APRS unit is likely next. Rick Grenwis has a post in the APRS section showing the good coverage going west a few weeks ago.
The first full day there I went to upper Antelope Canyon again. This is a slot canyon and is amazing.
This is the bear looking at the moon (or weeping eye)
