Fishing/mountain trip take two

Stu and I left Saturday morning for Woods Canyon Lake in the RIM country in AZ. We got two hours away from home and realized Stu left his oxygen regulator at home so we promptly turned around and made a Plan B.

On Sunday morning we drove up to Dead Horse Ranch State Park (near Sedona) and stayed there two nights. Not as high but it was VERY nice. After arriving there we decided not to christen the new pontoon because we could not put the trolling motor on it and it was too hot during the middle of the day. Instead we took a driving tour up Oak Creek Canyon (above Sedona) one day and over the mountains through Jerome to Prescott on the other day. Both drives were beautiful. The one through Jerome was VERY slow going up the mountain. We averaged about 20 MPH but it was a GREAT trip.

We met lots of nice people at the campground including some GREAT campground hosts. Stu and I talked about several possibilities for next summer but all of them include getting out of Phoenix a little more often. We will see where are ideas take us.

Good to be back at home. The car is unpacked and the pontoon frame is at least on the garage floor. Now all we have to do is hang it back up. A job for another day.

In joyful partnership,

Cathy
