2013's Road Trip centred in Arizona. I went from Phoenix, up 89A to Jerome, Sedona, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, Phantom Ranch, Seligman, Kingman and Oatman. My purpose of this particular trip was to hike the Grand Canyon, be spur of the moment in our plans, and meet crusty old men and talk to them about life.
Each day was a crazy adventure and full of some amazing people: Megan & Cody in Phoenix, Tony & Darlene, Shaggy and Jerry in Sedona, Matt from the Weatherford and Jeff at Uptown in Flagstaff, and my very favourite: Pat from Seligman. Below are some of my fav memories. More pix can be found at my Crazy Arizona gallery.

| You have NO idea how good this pizza and local brew tasted after eating cold sandwiches for two days. This was our "we just hiked 9.25mi out of the Grand Canyon in 5hr15m" meal. |

| This is Pat. I. Love. Him. |
 |
| We geocached all over the place. |

Love it! Makes me want to go hiking.
