I woke up to a beautiful day so Caillou and I headed out for a day of adventure!
Our first venture was to take State Route 89A towards Sedona, AZ again. We strolled onto Oak Creek Canyon. This is a popular spot for the locals to hold a farmer's market of sorts. After checking out some local artwork, we set our eyes on nature's palette. I will let the picture speak for itself.
Now that you have had a moment to drink it all on, we will continue on the road.
After a long trek through winding back roads, we happened upon the old town of Jerome.
Who wouldn't want to roam these parts? Not much out here...other than the view. Which was enough for me!
Let's not forget the vacationing cattle. They don't mind it here! And they don't seem to mind visitors either.
Route 66 swooped us into the next spot of Seligman. And what did I find in Seligman?
LUNCH! I had never experienced Roadkill Cafe before. So why not now?
A random stop for a Caillou sprint break found me one of the oldest
cacti in the world! (Okay, maybe not the world, but at least on this
trip!)
Oatman Highway was very beautiful. I was able to catch a few random shots before finally laying ground within Oatman.
Looks like a few of the neighbors already got the party started!
A few more stops on my exiting ride. I drove to Laughlin, NV where my sister and Grandfather and I met up with some family back in 1997 during our wild train ride that year. Wow...ten years later. This was my turn-around spot. I then followed the road into the tip of California, but by that time it was too late and too dark to stop for any souvenir photos.
And so, after many more twists, right and left turns, and a few more pit stops, I arrived back at the apartment in Flagstaff...tired, but happy I was able to enjoy my day exploring.
