Arrived just outside the Grand Canyon

Just wanted to jump on here and let you know that we don't have service in the RV - and probably will not for the next couple of days. So, please check back with us on Tuesday. If we can get service, we will check in with everyone.

We took a jeep ride up a mountain in Sedona...on a primative road...and I mean primative. It was the old stagecoach road up and across the mountain. I cannot explain the peace I felt when we reached the top (not only was I glad stop the extreme bumping around for a few minutes, but to stand there and look out over all the red rock mountain tops and the city below and feel the energy of our earth. It was truly a "must do" if you get out west. On the way up the mountain, a PT Cruiser was coming down the mountain (yes, on the primative road!)...it was a couple and they stopped us and asked (in broken English), "Is this the right road to Sedona?" Our guide answered yes. The man then asked, "Is this the ONLY road to Sedona?!?!" He looked petrified and the road ahead. Our guide calmly stated, "No, but right now it is your only option - you can't turn around now." The man then held up his GPS tracker system and threw up his arms in frustration. Poor guy...he made it down, since we didn't have to pick them up on our way down.

Our guide turned out to be an extra miler! Kelly Brower kept stopping the vehicle and walked over to the edge of the mountain to pick up trash left behind us...he did this multiple times (sad to say). He also pointed out every kind of plantlife and tree we saw. He knew much about each of them and how they impact the environment. A wonderful guide and a wonderful person...a true extra miler.

Better go - Ken is hungry and I'm cooking tonight.
Nite~
