Sedona, AZ: This morning started out cloudy but cleared off some. The herons are their usual raucous self. They have some nests up in the trees also. These long-legged birds look so ungainly up in the trees. This morning we drove around Sedona some more. Drove the Red Rock Loop road and saw more amazing scenery and some really nice homes. The airport here in Sedona is on top of a mesa. They have a restaurant up there so we drove up and had lunch. Some amazing views up there also. And the food was pretty good. Actually the views are amazing everywhere around here. In the afternoon we went on the pink jeep rim tour. They picked us up at the RV park and we went up the road from the RV park climbing 2000 feet to the rim. Great views of the rock formations and of Sedona down in the valley. There was a car down there that had gone over the cliff about 10 years ago. The old wagon road to Flagstaff was still visible and I can’t imagine how rough that would have been. They hike on that road now. The tour was two hours long and then we headed to the Olde Sedona Bar and Grill for drinks. We had fried cactus with our drinks which was pretty good. Had a great conversation with a couple of Sedona high school teachers and a public defender and his wife from Toledo. We all got pretty inebriated. Back home to the rookery over our heads. Everyone we talked to today was amazed at how cool the weather has been. Guess we really lucked out. Another great day!
