Yep...Boo and I went to....Sedona about 5 years ago, wetook our bikes and all our gear.We stayed for 3 or 4 days. Thing was, when we got there it was so friggin' cold the bikes never saw dirt and they stayed in our room the entire time. We didnt bring any cold weather gear as the weather forecast said it was going to be warm. Oh well, we adjusted and did the touristy thing, jeep tours, grand canyon, petrified forest, knife city.

I came close to that last week in Sedona, but in the end I got away for 3 hours and rented a bike from "bike and bean". Kept me sane :thumbsup:

I am assuming that you were not able to sell your RV after all, but aren't you glad it didn't sell? And besides, with all the space on the RV, you should have taken at least a bike. Next time :lol:

Have fun and post up pictures.

I've done that in AZ, but then, I have friends, students, and I bring lots of assorted firearms and ammo and target stuff with me. There's always something to keep me engaged. Most of the time, tho, I bring a bike too.

So let me get this straight - you're in Sedona and you don't have a bike or it's too cold to ride?

Come on fellas, that's some of the best riding in the country! You'd kick yourself if you knew what you were missing! You gotta go back there with a bike. :bang:
