Vacation at Sedona, AZ

For some unknown reason my computer was not connecting to the internet so that I could let my friends in blogland know that I went on a road trip and have been gone for five days.  I have lots of glorious photos (I think) to share. Learned some new techniques and how to use the motel's internet on my phone.

It feels good to be home and I did have some fantastic experiences. I did see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and was a bit put out that I could not go back to Utah through Page, Arizona because there has been a road avalanche which has put the major highway from Utah to Arizona through a 45 minute detour to Tuba City in the Navajo Reservation. 

US Highway 89 just south of Page, AZ.

In the early morning hours of Feb. 20, a landslide ripped through a section of US 89 along a mountain slope about 25 miles south of Page, buckling more than 150 feet of the roadway and tearing the pavement up in six-foot-high sections. There is no timetable as to when the highway will be fixed and reopened.

I am a little peeved that our news people said nothing about our neighboring state and that it happened back in February of this year. Even people that I talked to in Sedona did not know about this highway closure.
