Dust Storms, Snow Balls, & Red Rocks...Oh My!

As we left Albuquerque, tumbleweeds blew, the Furball 500 tossed to & fro, and sand pelted our windshield. There we were, smack in the middle of a dust storm! We could barely see the cars in front of us. Luckily, the Furball 500 survived! After miles and miles of desert, we experienced climate shock upon entering Flagstaff, AZ. with its forests, snow, and cold temperatures. Central Pennsylvania de ja vu! I threw my last snowball and we set off for Sedona. We were astounded by the magnificence of Sedona's red rocks at sunset. Randy took photos of an enormous shadow on the rocks which resembled a jack rabbit. We saw the same image painted on the side of a Native American trading post. I interpreted this synchronicity as Randy's animal totem, but he said, "that rabbit was on that rock for the last 5,000 years at five o'clock!" So much for Randy's spiritual evolution :) Our kitties' chakras were instantly cleared by the famous vortexes of Sedona as we drove off toward San Diego, our final destination!

Sedona's red rocks. If you look closely, you can see the profile of a jackrabbit.

The furball 500 slowed down enough to take a few photos while driving through Sedona.
The feeling of impending doom set in as we watched the dust storm approach through our windshield...
Snow! Yikes!! I was trying to get away from all this cold white stuff :(

Snow covered trees which reminded us of Philly!


Driving through the Red Rocks en route to Sedona...
Yay! We made it to Sedona :) Absolutely breathtaking!
