I revisited the Glidden Paint Factory today with a local group of explorers. This time around I decided to photograph some of the more impressive graffiti at the site.
I have to say, the graffiti amazes me as much as the building and equipment. I hate the taggers for what they do to sites like this, but some of these works are just amazing. I have a pic of one downstairs that said "our art has brought this building back to life [...] please respect", and I certainly agree.
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...
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.

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.
