What a beautiful place! Only downside is that it must make you feel even worse when you're unable to ride . . .  :grin:

Hope your rehab proceeds uneventfully!

Thanks cookiemech!  Surgery was May 18th...almost a month since I have ridden...

Hopefully will be back in the saddle again by August, just in time for the NM State Guzzi Rally in Datil!!

Glad to hear you're making progress JJ!

Are there fire bans now in effect there?

Are the "monsoons" in Sedona different than they are in the valley? I remember the monsoons happening in like August, not this early in June, and in the valley (Phx) it was rarely more than humid air with a dust storm now and then, rarely any real rain. Even a little bit of humidity with 100-deg temps made life miserable.

Yes...The Verde Valley gets about 19+ inches of rain per year...the Valley gets 4+ inches per year, if they are lucky!! :shocked: :shocked:  This photo taken this morning...MONSOON season is coming to northern AZ soon! :thumb: :cool:
