Where’s Waldo Ingrid. So where have I been? Why haven’t I posted in 3 weeks? First, I’ve been running around the back country of the desert southwest where internet service can be a challenge.

With trepidation, we hook up, load up and depart Dead Horse Ranch State Park leaving the images of Sedona in the rear view mirror. We hated saying good-bye to Sedona’s natural beauty of red-rocks. Many of these red-rock buttes, spires, and monuments have names, such as the popular Coffee Pot…
