Red Valley to Sedona

I was very deep asleep when at 4:35 a vehicle came flying down the dirt road where I was camped. Unfortunately it rattled me enough to where I couldn't get back to sleep.

An hour later I'm packing up and ready to go right at daybreak. Amazing roads over the hills into Navajo territory on the other side. I rode past Canyon de Chelley and the painted desert. I pass by Indian Wells where Grammy Mel taught in elementary school for years commuting from Holbrook.

In Winslow Arizona I was on route 66 and got to hang out with Glenn Frey's likeness while standing on the corner. We've been here before with Oliver. I took the freeway from here into Flagstaff and quickly found out that the going speed is a mere 90 mph, so I hung with that flow leaving lots of room around me. The bike can do it without much effort.

I coasted down 89A into Sedona on a really warm afternoon and hooked up with Lori from CB who lives here alone full time and she is good company to meet along the way. She is taking mostly and has lots of stories since I last saw her 3 years ago. Life hasn't been that easy for her after a bicycle accident.もっと詳しく
