Les UDs were very unhappy to leave Sedona. Both loved its tranquil, thrilling setting, the clear dry air, the red-earth trails among the rocks. Although exhausted (she packed too much in), UD feels joy and gratitude that she was able to see and explore this strange and beautiful place. Soon she’ll be hemmed in by trees in Garrett Park – no spectacular Arizona night sky – and while the beauties of her town’s forest setting are undeniable, she suspects that the vast landscapes of the high desert correspond more closely to her heart’s core.
