We had a good visit in Sedona. We took a Red Jeep tour into the backcountry that was informative and we saw some beautiful country. We also did some offroad Jeeping on our own, though nothing as adventuresome as the Red Jeep tour. Our driver was a real pro. The drive back to Casa Grande gave us our first real 'dust storm' experience. South of Phoenix, we could see the dirt/dust and feel the winds. Traffic slowed down fast for an accident between an 18-wheeler and a small compact. I am sure this was probably in part due to the very low visability in the area... tho traffic kept right on moving. Further down the road, we almost came to a standstill. You can see in the photos what we were up against. Very dangerous, and then a few miles down the road, it cleared enough to proceed home safely. Today the wind is gone and skies are blue. All I could think was, there goes the farmers topsoil, off to New Mexico!The gentleman with the cowboy hat was our driver for Red Jeep. Roger has mostly recovered from the bronchitis and was able to really enjoy our last few days there. We're back in Casa Grande now for maybe 2 weeks before heading north. Flower and cactus are in bloom here and the park is pretty well empty of the snowbirds now. The park has a very quiet feel to it. We are quite content.
Happy trails....

Our park here in Sebring, FL is clearing out also. I was just transferring photo files to DVDs to archive them. Just finished Alaska 2007 - - hope our trails cross again somewhere.
