Sedona, Arizona

As some of you know the purpose of the adventure was to pick a puppy in Dewey Arizona. After leaving the Petrified Forest it was a easy drive on to Flagstaff. I was shocked when I realized the Interstate signs were now pointing me to Los Angles. It was time to leave Route 66 and head south to Sedona. I was not prepared from the stunning beauty of that thirty mile drive down Oak Creek Canyon. The road is a switchback dropping into an array of red sandstone formations and giant cedars. The mountains appeared to glow in brilliant orange and red as the sun set in the west. We went past the famous Slide Rock where bathers were having a blast playing in the waters of Oak Creek. We decided to spent a day enjoying Sedona’s artistic community before heading on to Dewey. Sedona is known for Indian pottery, Navajo rugs, Indian jewelry and many fine art galleries. The galleries stay open late so you can stroll among them after enjoying one of the many fine restaurants. One interesting fact is that Sedona is named after the wife of the town’s first post Postmaster, Sedona Miller. The following morning we were to pick up the puppy in Dewey and after that I planned to head straight back to Texas with Kyle riding in my lap. Here we are going to leave the Route 66 trip, we’ve seen many new and interesting places. Monday, August 17, we leave for Vancouver, B.C. and on to an Alaska cruise. If my camera and the internet keeps working I will have updates on that next week.
