Lots of great stuff since my last post. A great quick trip to Lees Ferry for kayaking and fishing. Mt biking in Sedona and the start of Flagstaff season is opening......Have been doing some rides in Flag for about the last 3 weeks now and yesterday rode above pipe line and smiling the whole time.....new ham and upper moto were dreamy.....get it while you can ....trails are opening fast....

The view from the top of Kel fox trail . Never heard that name before. steve just considered it to always be part of the "Hot loop" day. Even though on the other side of HWY179. I think he called it power line trail.

Great when you get to the top of the climb and see the other side of sedona.....

coming up the climb.. looking back at the view....

Hot loop heading towards woods canyon trail.

Hot loop

Dara....great trail...

Shredding down hill....

Fun to see Steve and Doug out enjoying the outdoors together. Steve misses doing activities in the great outdoors with friends.

Ran into Serg and Family out enjoying the day. Remi & Gabe are lucky boys.

could not ask for better weather.

Great to get out with Steve & Doug Hall on the snow and just laugh. Doug is making sit skis and had one to ride boy it is hard. Us able body people just can't take on Paraplegics that are athletes in arm sports. Wow both Doug and I rode or tried to ski in a sit ski and I just had to walk up hill. Garro was fast and dropped us both. Most of the day I had my "traditional" skis on.

Then a great old ride in Sedona with Dara. I have not done this ride without Steve. I am glad I was able to piece it all together it has been over 3 years. Hot loop - then under 179- up the gnarly climb (Kel fox trail) drop down into the village- . Great Sedona classic and no tourist. Throughout the ride I remembered like yesterday getting to the top of a hard rocky climb and Steve would be waiting in the shade for me eating a snack- good times. I thought of him with me throughout the ride, kicking my ass.

This is going to be big.....Baja Mexico...I can't wait to go back

a proud catch....

Sally dog curiously watching birds

Salvador- every Am at sunrise would sweep the fresh sand. he has been there 60 years.

We caught these fish- being - mike, billy, steve and I. The workers at Alfonsina's took our fish cleaned them and cooked us dinner all on the house.....what great hospitality...such nice people.

random solo guy from Bavaria bike touring. he did not want food or water but he did take a beer....he was stoked they were cold....

our Oregon friends we met on this trip traveled all five in this rig. we drove out together after meeting at Alfonsina's. safety in numbers- ruff road but very worth it

This is a highway......

I am just taking it all in.

alfonsina's- we made it here down a pretty rugged road at 5 miles per hour for 7 hours- to arrive here and it was perfect so stayed for 1 week....forgetting the days and time

A usual sight at Alfonsina's- our new oregon friends- Mike and Nancy

fun times.....I tried to get pics of dolphins and seals but they were too fast. saw whales off in the distance too..

fresh off the boat. below the small boat getting dinner from the shrimp boat.

The easy life at Alfonsina's- Gonzaga Bay Baja - look at Cody smile....

Driving the Dirt HWY 5 down to Gonzaga bay- 5miles per hour for 47miles

I love the local food spots and stores of Mexico

The food yummmmmm and fresh.......Octopus cocktail....In San Felipe

What more can I say but - Perfect....It all just went as good as I could of hoped for....Great to be on Mexico time for almost 2 weeks.....D
