Wednesday, we left Santa Fe 8:00am for a long day of travel it was sunny but overcast about 58 degrees and 74 by noon driving just over the Arizona border. A very windy day going to Sedona, you could see the sand blowing across the plains. We stopped at an Indian Store and Kitty couldn't resist a nice turquoise bracelet from the Zuni tribe.
We traveled Rt 40 till we got to Winslow, Arizona as we were stopped because they closed the highway all the way to Flagstaff because of the sand storm. All the tractor trailers were all stopped as well as everyone else. All you could see were sand blowing for miles and miles. Checking the map we found an alternate route 87 which took us south towards Payson then route 260 through Camp Verde then we took route 17 north up to Sedona. It turned out to be a beautiful ride up through the mountains, we even saw snow. We were blessed again that we had the alternate route as the wind continued to blow even the next day and the highway was still closed the night. We arrived at Kitty's daughters around 4:00pm. Neil of course was waiting for us and Michelle cooked a wonderful dinner. It was so nice to not have to eat out in a restaurant.
