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.)

Circa 1964 Livermore Data Systems Model A Modem

So I was going through some old stuff in my garage and I found this antique modem that I've had since I was a teenager.  Turns out it's a Livermore Data Systems "Model A".   I decided to hook it up and see if it works, and I made a YouTube video in the process: I'll get around to posting some better photos of it this weekend, I promise!

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.
