April 19, Day 5 Sedona Adobe Jack and Javelina Trails

We have Pat and Larry again, to thank for our access to our stay here at The Sedona Summit, thru their RCI Timeshare.  We booked a 2 bedroom for 2 weeks and a 1 bedroom for the first week, as we have Scott/Diane and Tom/Lori joining us.  Luckily, the resort was able to place our units right next to each other, which has been super convenient and fun.  Francine and Kevin are sick, so we were put into the 1 bedroom, and Scott/Di and Tom/Lori shared the 2 bedroom, which was actually a 1 bedroom and a studio lock off, so we all had separate spaces.

Francine has been sick the whole time, so Diane really stepped up, and has been prepping all our dinners.  Poor Di also got stuck with dishwasher duty all week as well, since we have been eating dinners in their unit.  Luckily, she has been a super trooper about it, and at least never needs to clean up the kitchen after dinner.

Tom and Lori left this morning bright and early to make their 3 day trek back to Seattle, as she has to test 4.5 year olds for early entry to Kindergarten for the school district.  She said of the hundred or so that they test, only 4-5 make it for early entry to Kindergarten.

We told Scott and Di they should be on their own today, so they drove up to Flagstaff, to find easy, green circle trails for Di.  The local bike shop recommended a route on the Mesa, unfortunately, it was super windy.  But, they got a short ride in and had fun.

Kevin told Francine to take a Sudafed, in addition to the dayquil and cough syrup already consumed, and get out for a short ride.  We parked at the Adobe Jack trailhead and climbed Adobe Jack to Jordan trail where we went left to view the sinkhole.

Then we headed east on Jordan trail to right onto Ant Hill and rode that .8mile loop, which was scenic and fun.  After re-joining Jordan continued right/east until Javelina trail.  Descended that fun, smooth curvy trail with a couple technical sections thrown in to give the Black Diamond rating.  At the bottom, we climbed Crusty to Coyote to Adobe Jack.  Here we went left onto Adobe Jack, and made our way to the car.  Super fun ride.  7.2 miles.
