Wandering 2025 - Episode 4 - Where am I?

 I left Moab for Sedona-well a suburb called Oak Creek.

For a while there were Red Rocks.

If you look closely to the one above you can see the many layers that formed this bluff.

There was a natural arch- I really do not understand how theses form but there are lots of them.

And, one "fallen arch"

Here's another shot of the geology on display.

After this I was back to scrub brush again.  For most of the day I really had absolutely NO idea where I was except the general "somewhere in Utah" or "somewhere in New Mexico."

I followed the GPS through twists and turns on FLAT back roads.

One thing about traveling backroads is that it is extremely difficult to find a place to buy lunch.  (As Michelle Obama said you get to realize the value and consistency of a McDonalds hamburger!)  Finally, somewhere on the Navajo nation I found a Burger King.  Then it was back on the "where am I and where am I going" road.  When you finally reach Interstate 40 it's almost cause for cheers!  A short while later I was checking into my hotel for the next two nights.   Exhausted and starving.
