I don’t know why I love you
But I do.
These days that tune is everywhere on TV in an Expedia ad. It’s a sentiment that might as easily apply to many other things: the red rock of Sedona, for example.
It’s been a few years since we’ve been here, but the red rock endures. And I love it. It never gets old.
Bell Rock
Courthouse Butte
Views along Courthouse Butte Loop
Our walk was a 3.6-mile loop around Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock. Like most desert hikes, it was mostly up and down, down and up. In that distance I learned that although the red rock never gets old, sometime in the last few years I did. Whew.
Sign seen just before getting back to the parking lot. How did they know?
Isabel – when I see pictures like these I often wonder how many other people have stood in the same spot and taken a similar picture.
Looking back from the north side of Bell Rock towards Chimney Rock is also another great picture and vista.
John – Indeed. And I’ve stood in the same spot and taken pictures before, too. Somehow I still couldn’t resist.

You’re not old yet. As long as you can continue to be amazed by such sights, you’re not old.
You might be someday…but not yet.

Tom – Well, that’s a happy perspective and I take your point. My calf muscles, however, seem to be ancient. 🙂
Well, I know what you mean about sore muscles.
Last night was our annual Music Festival gala, which I emcee.
I had also purchased two boxes of wine (24 bottles) to be sold there. In addition, a school band that was performing didn’t have a set of drums so I had to take mine for them.
I’m paying up for all the lugging today!

Tom – Talk about not being old . . . 🙂
Don’t know why they call similar stuff more northerly “Bad Lands”.
Barbara – Well, I wouldn’t want to make a living off either stretch of land – except maybe from tourists. Beautiful but tough.
Sign. Excellent! Sadly, it says it all.
Barbara – If only it showed the cramping calf muscles, too . . .
