4-wheelin' it up the red rocks, heading to places where no Buick has ever gone.

"Barbecue Buffet at the Highway Cafe"

Welcoming barbecue in the funky automotive themed Highway Cafe.

TUESDAY JUNE 7

"Spirits & Ghosts - Studebakers & Goats"

After visiting Tuzigoot National Monument, preserved ruins of a Sinaguan Indian pueblo occupied until 1425 AD, we climbed the twisty 2-lane road to Jerome (elevation 5435 ft.) where the buildings are super-glued to the mountain.

The ultimately funky Gold King Mine and Ghost Town. And you think you have stuff?

WEDNESDAY JUNE 8

"And You Thought Bruce Was Full of Hot Air?"

A sky-high, once-in-a-lifetime experience - floating softly with the air currents in a hot air balloon!

"Iron Horse in the Wilderness"

All aboard the vintage railcars for a four hour excursion into the Western wilderness along the Verde River and through Sycamore Canyon..

THURSDAY JUNE 9

"Whew, Let Me Catch My Breath"

Snaking our way through the narrow, winding Oak Creek Canyon. Climbing a series of switchback hairpin curves. Twisty, curvy, hilly, winding at its best. Oak Creek Vista - views second to none and Native American jewelry, pottery and baskets.

"Sunset Banquet at Vista Cantina"

Farewell Banquet at the Vista Cantina Restaurant. Excellent food and classical guitar entertainment as the sun slowly sinks behind the red rocks, we reminisce with our BDE compadres about our Sedona experience.
