After a full weekend of the Taliesin visit and meals with a classmate, a cousin, and a former exchange student, we packed up Monday and pulled out of Mesa, headed north. We are near Cottonwood, AZ at Dead Horse Ranch State Park. The previous owners

Anyway, it's a great park and nice to be back in the open with some scenery around. We have a fire ring for the first time in almost two weeks and a nice pull though site near the shower house. These showers are a solid "A" with good water pressure, no timer, separate dressing area, bench, and TWO hooks. Our site faces west, which was a little warm the first night, but a great view of the mountains and nice sunsets.
Yesterday we drove up to Sedona and through the Oak Creek Canyon to Slide Rock State Park whose claim to fame is a series of smooth rocks in the creek popular as a natural water slide. Then back to Sedona for lunch after about half an hour looking for a parking place. It's a very busy happy place with lots of galleries, interesting shops, and high prices. Before we headed back, we checked out the Chapel of the Holy Cross, built into the rocks high above the valley. The walk up to the chapel was a little nail-biting for me but the building is pretty amazing.

Today we will explore Cottonwood and nearby Jerome which has been touted to us by four different people as a don't miss place. Tomorrow, we head west to Williams, where we will take the train ride to the Grand Canyon on Friday.
