Left Yuma at 4am Friday morning and made it up to the Sedona Area around 10 am and took Schenbly Hill Road into Sedona and into camp around noon (not to soon either most of the campsite were getting full). Headed back out a little after 1pm (had to take a nap)and returned to camp around 7pm. Here are the photo's from day 1

Overall, it was a great trip and saw some great country side which I really miss. Here's the rest of album-
http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t257/wormholegamma/Sedona%20Arizona%206-13%20to%206-14-08/
Here is the bad:
On the first road I hit all the rattles and creaks that I thought I fixed returned. Along, with a new clicking noise:bang: .
Along the Van Deren Cabin my 4runner spudder then died (sound like it wasn't getting fuel) after that I had a nice gas/oil fumes for the rest of day (only off and on at times)but it went away on the second day:bang: :bang: :think: . Lost the same nut to my rear sway bar links (found that out today and it was torqued correctly) and learned that even a bud built skid can be bent (thanks to the Martin Canyon portion of Smiley Rock).
Add more dents to the gas tank skid as well.

Overall, it was a great trip and saw some great country side which I really miss. Here's the rest of album-

Here is the bad:
On the first road I hit all the rattles and creaks that I thought I fixed returned. Along, with a new clicking noise:bang: .
Along the Van Deren Cabin my 4runner spudder then died (sound like it wasn't getting fuel) after that I had a nice gas/oil fumes for the rest of day (only off and on at times)but it went away on the second day:bang: :bang: :think: . Lost the same nut to my rear sway bar links (found that out today and it was torqued correctly) and learned that even a bud built skid can be bent (thanks to the Martin Canyon portion of Smiley Rock).
Add more dents to the gas tank skid as well.
