Sedona, AZ to Home – Saturday, August 9

Gayle got up early this morning to take a few photos of the mountains as the sun rose.   Neal joined her a little later and we checked on Flash.  He was tucked in next to a bright yellow 2003 Corvette.  After we enjoyed the free breakfast at the Best Western, we hit the road home.

Neal called Jack and Carole Allison and discovered they were traveling towards Phoenix so we arranged to get together with them in Blythe so they could see the new car.  Neal and Jack looked everything over and decided Flash was a keeper.

We arrived home around 3PM and pulled Flash into his new garage.  Sunday morning Neal will be in the driveway giving him a much needed bath and probably a good waxing.  I’m sure all the men in the neighborhood will stop by to inspect the new car. 

 

 

Home at last

 

What a trip.  We had a good time, saw a lot of the country, found some areas we’d like to return to and got home safely.  All in all the drive was 2058 miles from the Museum to home.  Gas mileage was 25.9 mpg overall this included cruising at speeds up to 80, climbing to 7000+ feet elevation while crossing the divide and checkin out of the pipes.
