Day 25 - Munds Wagon Trail

The Team surveys the trailhead.

Wendy watches the Pinks hunting from behind the safety of the Pink Barrier. The Pinks appear very hungry today.

The Pinks lie patiently and stealthily for their unwitting prey to approach.

Mund's Trail features one of the most beautiful stands of agaves in all of Sedona.

Before crossing the migratory path of the hungry Pinks, we nervously check both ways.

Up the embankment, Ella finds some shade. We nervously try to time our crossing of the Pink migratory path.

A sweeping curve on the Schnebly Hill Road that overlooks town.

Literally right under our noses, in the middle of nowhere, a secret entrance. Could be Wildfire Lab. Could be Disney. There are mysterious runes on the hatch, and that low thrumming sound can be heard. The Government has a STOP post right next to it, whatever that might be for.

Oblivious to the view, Wendy makes a picture.

Dogs don't care about views.

I'm trying to look adorable - I know you never believe it - but everyone else out on these trails does.

The arroyo crossing that marks today's turnaround point.

Sheltie Rock is still all in one piece.

A much better view of Sheltie Rock.

This colony of prickly pears cleverly uses tall grass as camouflage. They have developed a taste for Mountain Bikes.

The Team charges up the hanging valley.

Suddenly, we are bounced by the Black Helicopters. They are very, very irritated by our poking around the secret hatches and predatory pricly pears. They turn on the music. Ride of the Valkyries.

It is the big election day - and what the heck have we got here!? What could this craft be doing - over Sedona of all places!?

Right on cue, the US Marine Recons in their shiny Black Osprey.

They spot us. Camera jammers are on full. We run for it.

Agave in her environment.

Yet another Disney invention. They hope to have it ready for Valentine's Day. In red.

The Big Red Tank.

Lights go on at sunset.
