Day Twenty-one: Sunday, May 20, 2007
Kayenta to Sedona, AZ
After spending the night in a trailer that passed for a hotel room (there were no camp sites), I passed a lovely morning in the high desert rolling down Hwy 160 and Hwy 89:
I stopped in Flagstaff for lunch at the Weatherford Hotel. Besides a rich history, it has great food and great service if you are ever in the area.
The scenery gets quite impressive between Flagstaff and Sedona. This shot was taken from the head of Oak Creek Canyon where I ended up camping.
Jeff & Darlene Powell and her husband have a home in Sedona. Unfortunately, due to spotty cell service (and no internet access for me the night before) we didn’t connect. Hopefully I can catch them on my way back through this Thursday.
Other shots from Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona.
This is the view from Starbucks if you can believe it! Almost makes me want to apply for a job here.
Having not reach Darlene, I found a campsite back up the canyon (on the recommendation of the Starbucks manager,) pitched my tent (Thanks Pete!), and “cooked” a nice Mountain House beef stew dinner. Mmm, mmm!
Today’s Route
Okay, Bill. Don’t think that because we’re not writing comments we aren’t reading. After 21 days on vacation, you’re starting to look more like a target than you did when you started.
That Starbucks is what brought an end to my silence. Forget working there… I think I wanna LIVE there!
In all seriousness, we’re still lovin’ this trip out here. Keep those stories and pictures coming! And… all the best on that new opportunity!
Thanks David, I’m pretty sure that Starbucks had a two-drink minimum. I sat and updated the blog, took in way more caffeine than necessary, and arranged for the bike storage. What should have been a 45 minute stop took two hours due to that view.
