Weather: Sunny, highs around 75 degrees
The drive from Capitol Reef to Sedona included: more cattle in the road (sans Cowboys); lots of beautiful rock formations; even more desert terrain; Indian reservations, and finally some crazy switchbacks down steep canyons.
We arrived in Sedona a little too late to enjoy a hike of any length. We set up camp at the Cave Springs Campground in Coconino National Forest. We explored the campground, full of what Mike affectionally calls "leafers" - people who have come from places like San Diego to enjoy the fall foliage. We made our way into downtown Sedona to checkout the shops and restaurants. Sedona is definitely a beautiful place (of which we had little time to fully see) but it's tainted by the masses of tourist flooding into it's blood red canyons and spectacular forests.
Currently we are at a little bar in Sedona, enjoying the local Oak Creek brew and watching game seven of the world series... Go Cards!
San Diego tomorrow and lots and lots of apartment hunting. Wish us luck!
