Caveat Emptor: Sedona Car Rentals

-
Image
There's only one rental car company at Sedona Airport:  Sedona Car Rentals Their website only listed two classes of available cars:  "Economy" and "SUV".  I didn't need an SUV to shuttle the three of us to / from the AirBNB and hiking trails, so I opted for the economy car.   Here's the reservation confirmation I received: Thursday, upon arriving at KSEZ, the FBO ramp worker retrieved the car and brought it plane-side for us (awesome!).  FIRST CAR: The car was a 2011 Ford Focus with 152200 miles on it (and a TPMS warning light.)  I noticed immediately upon leaving in it that it drove like a broken shopping cart:  Vibrated, and pulled left.  The transaxle made a loud whining noise that varied with the automobile's speed (not the engine RPM.) On our way to the AirBNB we attempted to take this vehicle on the highway and it immediately revealed that it wasn't suitable for highway use.  At 55 MPH it began to shake violently.  It wouldn't...

Sedona, AZ

We set out on a trip to Sedona, AZ (KSEZ) with the two schnauzers for Spring Break.  I'd always wanted to land at KSEZ, since the airport is set atop a 500' mesa surrounded by the famous red rock formations of the area. As promised, the airport was nothing short of breathtaking.  We rented an AirBNB that was too far away in Munds Park (closer to Flagstaff than Sedona) but it was a nice place, affordable, and dog friendly. We rented a car from Sedona Car Rentals and had such a bad experience with them that I'm writing a separate post just about them . Anyway, here's Wonderwall some pictures: Miles flying Ivanpah Solar Power Facility Arriving in Sedona View from the airport mesa Luna prefers the shade.  She stopped in shadows on every hike.

Day Trip to San Francisco

Miles and I were itching to go somewhere (especially since we don't have any snow up here in South Lake Tahoe right now, sigh) so we decided to take a day trip to the San Francisco Bay area. Miles wanted to check out North Beach, the "Little Italy" of San Francisco, and get some authentic Italian style pizza, so that's what we did.  Afterwards we walked up to the wharf to say hi to the Sea Lions.  Salt Springs Reservoir   At KSQL     North Beach, San Francisco, CA North Beach   Miles trying Smoked Salmon Pizza at Il Casaro       Amazing deserts at Stella Pastry   The famous Pier 39 Sea Lions   Alcatraz Playing classics at Musee Mecanique   Back to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
