Trip #74 (5): Trailer Storage, Sedona, McDowell Park

Nov. 9 – 15, 2015

Arizona: Sedona, McDowell Park, Fountain Hills Art Show

Time to take the trailer to Arizona storage, but have some fun along the way. Two nights in Sedona, the private Rancho Sedona Campgound, where it rained most of the time, then on down to east of Scottsdale (north of Fountain Hills) for three nights, in the middle of nowhere but on a great mountain bike park. Had two days of fun rides, 10 miles each, and so glad the weather was cool. Plus the fall art show at Fountain Hills. We took the reservation land drive (hwy 13) on the way home just after Winslow through Hopi and Navajo reservation land and Tsaile, exiting down a very steep mountain and coming out near Shiprock. There were some ice patches that gave me the freaks, but at a crawl all was ok -- we were not towing. And if we were we would NEVER take this road!
Note: Paris Attacks that Friday the 13th.

Route 66 roadside attraction

Sedona campground. Never did get to ride in town, cold and rainy.

The last work project on the road? YESSSSSSSSS

Private campgrounds definitely have their rules.

From the Christmas store in Sedona.

Way east of Cave Creek -- the MUST stop for lunch: Inn 'n Out Burger!

McDowell camp camo bunny. Many jackwabbits running around.

McDowell Regional Mountain Park, perfect day by the way. Cool and sunny.

I saw this out of the corner of my eye in Fountain Hills.

Bye bye for a bit, bikes. Enjoy your Arizona vacation.

Back for the winter at RV Superstorage in Chandler. But I know you won't be here for long.

Our third stay at one of my most favorite places. La Posada in Winslow, a former Harvey House.

The stairs leading up to our second story room #209, the Victor Mature room

The "famous" gate which won me first place in a photo contest several years ago.

Hopi Reservation Land. Or Navajo. Beautiful either way.

The road leading to the Hopi Second Mesa, I believe part of the old Harvey "Indian Detours" back in the 1930s.

More gorgeous landscape. This is Tsaile, and the start of the steep road over to the Shiprock/Toadlena east side areas.
