Sedona to Zion National Park(Springdale, UT)
Just when you think you have seen the most spectacular scenery America has to offer you get thrust into a landscape that is beyond your expectations. The route from Sedona, AZ to Zion National Park takes you over Navajo Bridge over the Colorado River gorge as it flows into the Grand Canyon.
Zion National Park in Springdale, UT is a totally different experience from Grand Canyon(GC), AZ. At the GC the view is from the rim and you are looking down on amazing views. At Zion you are actually driving through about 12 miles of the canyon looking up at cliffs, precipices, slot canyons that are astounding. Tom drove through this stretch so we were literally crawling along allowing me to ooo and ahhhh at the scenery.
The guy seated in the picture at left struck up a conversation with Tom. When he learned Tom was from Wichita he let him know he had graduated from Wichita North High School in 1954.

Well it's been fun so far. We've had pictures of Tom driving, Tom eating, and Tom sitting. I can't get enough. Oh, and rocks. Lots of rocks. And an essay by two rich geezers slamming on Dollar General. What's next? Counting potholes? I heard Vegas was fun though. Tom just looked at a slot machine and lost $20. Next up: the joys of LA and the 405! Cheers, Boys!
