More Sedona - Chael of the Holy Cross

Road Trip Continued - Sedona to Red Rocks (Morrison CO)

Regretfully, we needed to leave Sedona after just two day and two nights, and I totally blew the drive time for the next leg of the trip. Going from memory only (I should no longer do that...) I thought it was only 7-8 hours. Turned out that best case with no stopping it was 11 hours, and we had concert tickets for 7:30pm. Do up at 4, on the road just before 5, and we made it to Red Rocks with enough time to shower and get ready for the concert.

Moab and Arches National Park (I actually got to be a passenger for a couple of hours and take some photos!)

Somebody actually carved a 5000 sq ft home in that rock - at least that's what the internet told us - we had no time to stop!

The snow peaked mountains of Vale, CO. I wish I could have captured the awesome scenery of the Colorado River we followed through a canyon for about an hour, but I was driving and my copilot was sleeping. Next time!

We made it to our hotel in Morrison, CO (very close to Red Rocks) just in time!

690 miles in exactly 690 minutes - 11.5 hours. We stopped 5 times for coffee/gas/restroom/food/cigar breaks. PS - thank you Utah for 80mph speed limits. Since I often drive 10 over, and since there was zero traffic, and since I had new tires and brakes, well... a fair chunk of it might have been at 90ish...

Shoot, Red Rocks is only a couple hundred feet less than that...

and that 'hill' behind Red Rocks is over 8000 feet.

No Name:
Reminds me of an old western movie with a musical theme staring Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin, and a cast of others. Paint Your Wagon.

Worm's eye view of the Porsche/March Indycar 89P on display at PECATL. Sometimes you have to change your point of view. I slithered on the floor with my camera to get the right sight line and reflection shot. Perhaps a bit undignified, but effective. A security guard watched nearby, either curious or baffled or both. Must have been more curious because he asked to see the photo preview on my digital camera. Apparently he liked what he saw and commented how different it looked from human eye level. Yep - he nailed it.
