Off Road Adventure

We had heard that there was this spectacular route to Sedona with amazing views. With Mormor and Morfar here it seemed the right time to explore this road, especially since we wanted them to see Sedona.
We set out early in the day. The turnoff was not hard to find and we proceeded. The views were spectacular. The road was a bit rough but it was a marked road, after all, it ought to be ok. As we proceeded down the mountains towards Sedona, the road got progressively worse. The road sign said "12 miles" when we began the exploration, an hour later we had moved 4 miles. Bob and Lukas navigated the car rocks and dips, while the rest of us enjoyed a leisurely walk down the dirt road and marveled at the scenery.

When we finally arrived in Sedona, we had had enough hiking and adventure and headed to the ice cream store before taking the beautiful and driveable 89 back up to Flagstaff and dinner. It was an adventure we will not soon forget and the scenery was almost worth it. The car needs a good clean and wax job to recover from the escapades.
