The Adventure Continues

It is not hard to see why the rich flock to Sedona.  The climate is teriffic and the outdoor life could hardly get better.  Yesterday with the Commander,  Kadizzle found an Indian ruin.  When we saw a grainery high in the cliffs we started to investigate and came upon a good ruin.  This morning the Hot air balloons finally landed right in the front yard of our camper.  Today Kadizzle took another motor cycle ride up one of the worst roads known to man.  It was one of those roads where if you stopped you were doomed. 

When  Kadizzle reached the top the view was magnificent.  The Commander was not with Kadizzle, but she would have insisted we drop into Sycamore Canyon and look for Indian sites.  The view of Sycamore Canyon made one realize how much land was really unexplored around here.

On the way down Kadizzle stopped for a rest and saw a four wheel ATV starting up the treacherous climb.  The ATV did not make it any distance at all and chickened out.  Kadizzle realized the foolishness of going up the mountain side by himself after he got to the top.  There were plenty of hazards and things to go wrong, and it was not a good road for a single person to be on.  As Kadizzle went up he realized he was on another one of those dare to be stupid jaunts.  This was another ride likely to cause a mechanical disaster.  It was another ride where nothing but another motorcycle of a helicopter could get to you.  A mechanical problem would mean the cycle would have to be taken out in pieces.  This recently happened to a friend.  He had to pay someone 300 bucks to go get his cycle with a jeep.

The model airplane airport about half mile away is also good entertainment in the morning.  One gentleman Kadizzle has got to know flys a glider.   The glider gets to altitude with an electric motor and then for hours he just sits and flys the the thermals. It looks like so much fun Kadizzle is very tempted to buy one.
