Off day.  Taught the kids how to drive four wheelers all afternoon.  That should make their mom happy...

Yep, now I just have to teach them mudding, wearing camo, and how to fry everything. Jake, I'm fying out of Phoenix up to Sedona with a small plane this weekend with a friend. Weren't you guys just down there? Recommend things to do?

Tons of great running and mountain biking trails - I'll send you some of the ones I know tomorrow ... I have a few maps saved on my computer at work.

Steve - There is a great dirt road called the Vultee Arch road - its on the west side of town

They also just put in a brand new Olympic dimensions track at the high school - its pretty amazing. You can run the loop down to Red Rock state park from there.

I havent run it, but it looks like there is a good trail just west of the airport, you can see it if you look on google maps satellite view.

Southeast of the airport, there is a nice smooth and wide dirt trail called the bell rock parkway.

Thanks Jake, we hit a trail right out of the airport. Literally left our stuff and took off on a run. This country is amazing up here. When we took off I could see trails in the mountains all the way back that I wanted land by and go run. Which made me think, wouldn't it be cool to take a day, fly a range and run whatever trails look fun? Kind of like heli skiing, plane running...

I like this plane running idea! :-)
