Ok time for Day 3......

Day 3 was my major hangover day..... slowwwww start and headache.... by the time we got packed up and out of the room is was almost noon. Yes our hotel was called the "Little Daisy Motel" LOL ;D

All loaded up and ready for Day 3

We cruised through Clarkdale looking for food and found Conchos! Wow did we get lucky! Great service, great food and great bloody marys!

Our plan for the day was to take Sycamore Canyon and work our way to Bouyton Canyon and into Sedona.... getting aired down

While we were there the Verde train came through.....

More cattle on the road

Grumpy

The scenery started changing quickly as we got close to Sedona

As we got close to town it turned to pavement.... but the views were incredible.

Still some snow on the mesas

Our next stop in Sedona was a quick little trip up Soldier's Pass. These are the seven hot tubs

Tim enjoying the cool weather and great scenery

Steve missing his wifey pooh and making some calls

Paul pondering the wonders of the universe

Johnny on the prowl chasing a frog around the hot tubs!

Told you!!! ;D

Taking in the local scenery

Tourist everywhere.... it was fun because they were taking pictures of our rigs instead of the red rocks! HAHA

Our next stop was the Broken Arrow trail.....

Another storm making it our way

Soaking it all in.... what a weekend!

We continued up the trail ....... nothing but sky!!!

Absolutely breathtaking!

It was starting to get cold and dark as we were taking pictures

It started to rain lightly and made these stairsteps fun!

Hard to believe it's mid day..... the storm came in quickly

As the storm passed we were greeted with the most phenomenal sky!

When we got to our air up spot this is what we saw!!!!! WOW

Once aired up we headed down I-17...... it was a quiet trip and everyone was reflecting on the journey of the last three days......and a three day hangover too! ;D Me, Paul, Steve and Tim stopped at the Roadrunner for one last beverage before we returned to our awaiting families.....

Steve, Cliff, Tim, Johnny and Paul thank you very much for an incredible weekend! I am officially launched into my new future and wife to be!!!!

All the pictures from the trip are here!

I used a Canon S5IS to take the photos. I used the AEB setting to take multiple exposures and use Photomatix to combine and tweak the levels to attain the "grunge" look....

And used the panoramic settings for pano shoots.....

Most of the shots on the road were taken by me or my co-pilot Paul using the Canon. It's an older camera but does a pretty good job.

Thank for all the kind words guys. Kasey I could not find that little shortcut I went on with the AZ Classic Broncos guys over Mingus.... it was raining and snowing and we were flying on the road..... Steve says he knows when I miss the turn...... I would love to do that trail again. Good times.

We definitely had a little of everything on that trip......

 

[Pa PITT]

Boy that was one of those outings you guys will remember the rest of your lives..
... One of those you can never repeat ..No matter how many time you try.
.........Congrats......One of the Guys looks a little like Ted Nugent ..

Steve missing his wifey pooh and making some calls

Haha!! Didn't know the rest of the pics were posted!!

My wife and I had hiked here (On foot, even!) two years ago. Had to hurry and send her a cell phone pic of where the Bronco was parked!!

Man looking at all of these pictures is some of the best motivation to get my bronco up and going again. I grew up in the verde valley, broken arrow has always been my favorite, 4 wheeling and mountain biking. best of both worlds in one trail. Looks like you guys had a blast.
