Sedona Arizona with Jan & Connie - Last Day

Jan and Connie had "body" appointments...massage, nails, something...can't remember, but what I wanted to do was go hiking again. So, I took off and drove up to Oak Creek Canyon to find a place to hike.

I loved this old building...so neat looking! It was probably around the first time I came to Sedona in the 1950's!


I found a West Fork and decided to hike around. As I followed the trail it led to what was once a ranch. When I saw the old tumble down ranch house I thought, "Wow, these folks had a stupendous view!"


I didn't have very much time, so I made it down the West Fork for just a little ways before it was time to turn back and go pick up Connie and Jan. It was a beautiful walk! Next time I'll venture further!

OH! I forgot one very important picture. This trip took place last spring...Hilary and Obama were going at it with everyone thinking Hilary would be the winner. As we drove through Jerome on our way to Sedona we pass this house (below). Now, you must realize, I am the lone Democrat in the car with two Republicans, so when I asked Connie to turn around so I could take a picture of the sign for Hilary all I got was a big "BOOO!" and she kept on driving...well, actually there was no place to turn around. I insisted. Connie finally found a place and was kind enough to go back several miles so I could take this historic photo...even Connie and Jan thought it was worth it when they saw it!

Just in case you can't see it...those are bras hanging on the fence!

It was a great vacation...and as always, the three of us look back on it with fond memories.

Niki- What a trip! Great photos as always. Right before I left the swamp I went to the Grand Canyon with my family. We spent a few days hiking in Sedona. What an amazing place! So glad you got to be there with your cousins :)
