Sedona to Tucson

First I rode up to the airport. The Sedona airport is one of those that pilots strive to land at due to its sheer beauty and because it is located on top of a table mountain. I have had the privilege of doing it twice. So it was a bit nostalgic to be standing there at the airport without an airplane.

I rode over Strawberry, Payson, Roosevelt lake and Globe down to Tucson. By Globe it felt like you were riding through an oven but then as I dropped elevation it felt like somebody turned the oven on high. There were spots on the road where the sun was cooking the red dirt cliffs and the asphalt together to create temperatures of over 50 as I rode through these hot spots, it felt like short stinging heat waves. But it was all enjoyable in just a light shirt.

I made it down to Chuck and Kathy's warm welcome, they are my very close and longest friends.
We had a great evening talking about many things but the highlights were an article in the newspaper that featured Chuck on the front of the business section in his new endeavor and even better Kathy's book just got published. The title is "Book of iiwii", by Kathy Lewis Sawyer. I am so excited for both of them.Read more
