The Second Part of Day Four and Day Five, Six, Seven & Eight

Saturday evening was spent on the trail in the Sonora Desert with the Arizona Land Rover Owners. Kels got left behind as it was way too hot and way to hilly to even take her to where we were camping, never mind on the trail. I hitched a ride with Rob Woodward who I had met in April at the Death Valley event hosted by the Land Rover Club of Las Vegas.
Because of the high temperatures here in Phoenix, the AZLRO guys run the trails in the latter part of the evening and into the night so as not to overheat the rigs. This made for interesting photography and the added challenge of working in low light was a trick. The remaining pics I will get up soon - promise!

It was a fun event and as always, I was welcomed like an old friend by everyone. Enjoy the pics!
Once we returned from camping in the desert (crazy hot!), Sunday was spent finding me a hotel for a few days while Kels was booked in with Rover Techs in Scottsdale to install her new radiator. I ended up in this amazing hotel called the Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites - I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Phoenix! Nicest people and the off-season rates were incredible.

I am sad to leave as it has been a wonderful little oasis but Kels is 100% again and itching to finish this journey. We are heading to Williams today with a stop in Prescott, AZ to do some shooting in the downtown core.
More about that a little later I guess!
