    I made a new folder, public 'd the hell out of it, and put the ones I wanted in there before copying the link.
    You have to share it and then share it so others can add pictures or something.
    Its all very non intuitive and I'd abandon it except for the incredible convenience of all my pictures automatically uploading to free unlimited storage.

    A few pictures from Day 2 back out Hole in the Rock and across the lake on a ferry.

    I couldn't figure out why Leo was so sad....

    Turns out, he mis-heard when we said he was going to get to ride on the "deck of a ferry"

    How was the ferry wait; was it hard to get on or were the lines short?

    We didn't have to wait at all. Not sure in the busy season, but I doubt they hardly ever have more people than can fit on the ferry.

    We weren't sure what to expect so got there a little early, ended up only being us four, one other car, and a motorcycle.

    Thought I had it figured out...
    Even opened in an incognito tab and they all showed up.
    Incognito on the phone is showing just one pic like you said. So weird. I'll have to fix it from a computer though.

    The next day we found "Dance Hall Rock"

    Some people opted for the full experience

    Then it was on to the slot canyons.

    Puppers had to be hoisted in places

    James was too scared at first to get down into the slot so he stayed up top.

    Eventually though the dogs were able to coax him down to the bottom.

    We ran in to this venomous asp disguised as a gopher snake.

    For me, the slot canyons were definitely a highlight of the trip. I've seen pictures and always wanted to see them first hand. The hike to and back from them nearly killed me but it was worth it.

    The following day we took some out and back trail that led us through this sort of creepy "compound".
    I don't have any idea why we went down this trail, but we did.

    Brett and James laughed at Leo as he tried unsuccessfully to miss this rather large boulder, sustaining minor body damage.

    After a strange day we ended up at what will forever be known as "BEST. CAMPSITE. EVER." overlooking Lake Powell. Some confused cartographers have chosen to label this spot (and several spots in the vicinity) as Alstrom Point.

    At this point we had all been several days without a shower and the rest of us sort of hinted subtly to Brett that perhaps he might enjoy setting up camp "over there a bit"

    This picture should help to explain a significant part of why this was the "BEST. CAMPSITE. EVER."

    I have absolutely no idea.... I did each one the same exact way. Afterwards, I opened the page in an incognito browser window on my phone and they all showed up.
    After your post, I opened the page in an incognito browser window on the same phone and I saw only the first and last like you said.

    Something is seriously wrong with google photos
