Hitting the Dirt!

The day dawned cool with visible clouds in the west. Not quiet yet the season of fall, and summer still had an iron fist upon our state. But being up in the high desert meant a slight reprieve from the ever present heat. Dark clouds rolled in and could have the potential to rain. That is the one thing about off roading some of us dread: rain and mud. How long and hard could it rain? Will it be safe on the trail or does the trail ride need to be rescheduled?

Sigh…

Join us on a two part series of off roading in Sedona, Arizona, seeking Native American sites and lots of bumping on the road we traveled! Trust me, it was a lot of fun and should be on your bucket list if you like backroad adventures!

I Am…

I am from a dry and beautiful desert, with dreamy sunsets, teddy bear cacti you do not want to cuddle, where staying cool in a swimming pool is the name of the game in summer.

What type of time are you from?
