Northern Arizona

Dirk took this picture along the historic Route 66 in Holbrook, AZ, site of the Teepee Hotel!

Had to stop at the "Standin on the Corner" park in Winslow, AZ---here it is.....but you can't here the Eagles music playing in the street.  The windows behind are painted and the wall behind is not real!

Dirk by the Flatbed Ford "slowing down to take a look at me...."

View of the corner and the park and the flatbed ford in Winslow, AZ.

I discovered this butterfly on Dirk's head while we were eating dinner in the RV!

Why was this skunk along beaver creek?  Identity problem?  Dirk was afraid it would come live under our RV!

Cute javalina sculptures at Red Rock Country Visitor Center.

Two brothers riding the javelinas!  The baby was a very small  horsey!

In Homolovi State Park in N. Arizona you could actually pick up and examine all these shards of pottery.  They were everywhere in the ruined pueblos.

Another lovely but lonely campground.  I -40 trucks are blowing by in the distant background.  We are happy any campgrounds are still open in the cold highlands!

This may not look like a calendar, but it is. The two protruding boulders at the top cast a light on various petroglyphs on the face below, indicating various solar times and events like planting time.

One of the cool petroglyphs from above.  These are not sickles but are two figures dancing (note feet at bottom.  Discovered at the V Bar V ranch in N. Arizona near Sedona.

The tiny white spot in the greenery is our RV as viewed from the Brins Mesa trail near Sedona, AZ and gives a hint as to the fabulous scenery

Hiking the Brins Mesa trail in the red rock district of Sedona before heading to the Phoenix area.

At Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff Arizona you get to walk along a level of the canyon wall where the cliff dwellings of the Sinagua people were built.
