Diggin' Around In Old Boxes
The image below is a picture I found while sifting through old boxes filled with pictures. I took this photo with a disposable camera back in 1994-95 time frame. I was at a friend's house (Adam Thompson) in Cottonwood, AZ at the time for a small get-together when I noticed the sunset. I ran out to the car and had to try my hand at sunsets. Needless-to-say, for a disposable camera, the photograph came out pretty good. The picture is facing West toward Mingus Mountain.

More Arizona Scenery
Below is a picture I took during spring break 1998 with Gabe Wright and Jarod Sears. We went into Sycamore Pass when I spotted this yucca plant budding, which only happens once in a yucca plant's life. In most cases, the yucca plant dies shortly after the seeds begin to spread.

The yucca plant is notable for one thing; It is the only plant in the world that can grow six feet in just a few weeks (specifically the flower). Note the flower is in the middle of the picture in an open space between the trees and bushes in the foreground of the picture.

Spring In Sedona, AZ - Oak Creek Canyon
Below is a photograph of the red rocks of Oak Creek Canyon just North of Sedona, AZ on Hwy 89A heading toward Flagstaff, AZ (which is 26 miles North of Sedona). The picture was taken at the beginning of spring in 2004.

Grand Canyon Detour
If you ever get a chance to cruise Northern Arizona as you're visiting the Grand Canyon, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you consider going from Flagstaff to Sedona via Hwy 89A (don't forget the "A" in 89A) because it's incredible!

Current Music: Incubus - "Anti-Gravity Love Song"

Worth The Trip
I've been to South and Central America, Canada, Europe and 33 of the 50 states, and Oak Creek Canyon is one of the top five most beautiful places I've ever been! It's most certainly worth adding the mileage and time to your adventure out west by visiting Oak Creek Canyon. It's just 15-20 minutes South of Flagstaff, AZ.
