The
next day we made it all the way to San Juan Capistrano, where my sister,
Betty Haxton, was cooking up a feast.
Her husband, Ron, was mixing the martinis for my other sister,
Judith, and husband, Bill Leonard, when we arrived.
The
next morning we headed east for Arizona, avoiding the Interstates and
other main highways, opting for desert, where the ocotillo was in bloom,
and winding mountain roads with hairpin turns and scary drop-offs.
In
Prescott, AZ, at the Palace Hotel, the bartender wore six-guns and a
ten-gallon hat while he bused the tables.
Our
route took us through the red rocks of Sedona, AZ, and beautiful Oak
Creek Canyon to the north. Just
east of Flagstaff we took a short detour to Meteor Canyon where 50,000
years ago a meteor slammed into the earth to create a crater four-fifths
of a mile wide and 470 feet deep. |
