Your Water Adventure Awaits

By Linda Tancs

Boating season is nearly underway or, in some cases, has already begun. Your water adventure awaits at Lake Powell, the majestic looking man-made lake along the Arizona/Utah border in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Of course, you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the lake from the comfort of your spacious lakeview room or suite at the Lake Powell Resort. Or you can commune with nature on a luxury houseboat like the 75-feet Odyssey. The $12,000 price tag may seem a little steep, but if you gather up 12 of your closest friends to fill the quarters, then that’s only $1000 per person. Hey, what are friends for?

Seeing Pink in Sedona

By Linda Tancs

Some may think that red and pink clash (in the sartorial sense), but in the rugged terrain of Sedona, Arizona, they’re perfect together.  Pink Jeep, as the name implies, is a cadre of pink-colored jeeps scouring the red rocks and gaping canyons of Sedona, north of Scottsdale and Phoenix.  The popular, off-roading tour company offers something for everyone:  a descent down the “Road of No Return” for thrill seekers, an archeological expedition to the cliff art at the 700-year-old Sinaguan cliff dwelling for intellectuals, and a view of lowland desert and Ponderosa pine forests atop the Mogollon Rim for shutterbugs.  Sedona sure looks pretty in pink.

Something for Nothing

By Linda Tancs

Deep in the desert of Arizona expect to find the usual denizens:  snakes, fire ants, birds of prey and assorted mammals like prairie dogs and porcupines.  So don’t say there’s nothing–that is, “no thing.”  And here’s something else to ponder:  there’s no longer no thing in Nothing, for Nothing now has something (I’m beginning to feel like Dr. Seuss here).  That would be a pizza parlor.  That’s right, the little desert bowl of a town in the middle of nothing has a pizza joint that’s got the locals talking.  Consider a visit the next time you’re on US 93 between mile markers 148 and 149, and send your reviews here.
