Day 17

Williams, Arizona

Everyone is taking it easy today. The little human has a touch of altitude sickness and the archaeologist is milking her broken bones for some sympathy. Sleeping in and a late breakfast/brunch was in order.

Then in the afternoon a trip to Flagstaff to the Museum of Northern Arizona. There was an exhibit about a new type of dinosaur found recently in Utah. We spent several hours there as they also have a wonderful permanent collection of Native American pottery, rugs, and ceremonial items.

Then we had dinner in Flagstaff's old town at the Beaver Street Brewery. Then down Rt. 89A South to Sedona to watch the sunset on the amazing red rocks. We had quite a treat as the sun set behind mountains on one side of the horizon while the full moon rose over the formations on the other side.

The little human took me on a sunset hike where we discovered a hidden waterfall that was now dried up. That was very exciting for both of us.

We drove back in the "dark" but with the full moon lighting the way, we could see the land formations all the way back to Williams.
