Freedom Ride 09

Well, Bobby was getting out of the Army and it was decided that we needed to take a 'victory lap' on the motorcycles to celebrate Bobby's safe return. I did not take long to get Uncle Chip, Sister Meleah and her hubby Steve on board for the 12 day run. A lack of funds and a wish for adventure meant that this roadtrip would be one where "camping out" would be the order of business! We knew it would mean cold mornings and nights as it was still early in the season.

A cold morning up the canyon from Sedona

We were taking a 3000 mile trip and this included the border with Mexico, Tombstone, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, the Natural Bridges, Bandelier, and a visit with old friends in Los Alamos.

Bobby's Girlfriend took this picture of the group in Bandelier

And what a trip we had. We camped in Tombstone, Arizona just a block for the OK corral! Great time....took pictures of Boot Hill at night doing a little ghost hunting. Walked the streets and enjoyed a step back in time. But it was a couple days later that we camped out in Monument Valley for two nights....and it was just unbelievable!

A stop at Mexican Hat

Up the mountains in New Mexico

We had fun at every corner of the way.....but this is just a snapshot of the trip...the stories are to come....and someone just has to get on and tell about the ride from Los Alamos to Colorado Springs....it is a good story!
