- From Delightful to Dangerous: Sedona, AZ 89A to Flagstaff: Oak Creek Canyon
We were driving around Sedona. Driving the Red Rock Loop, stopping at Red Rock State Park, driving up Dry Creek Road, and were trying to decide what to do next. Bill says, let's go up 89A through Oak Creek Canyon. I hear there’s snow up at the top toward Flagstaff. Well, who doesn’t want to play in the snow. So off we go, not realizing that it was about to start snowing and sleeting even more, and there were so many people who had the same idea we had. However, either they didn’t know how to drive in it, or their cars weren’t conducive to the environment, but there were some serious struggles up there by many.

Beautiful place

Thank you.
Your Sedona video with the snowy drive on switchbacks was exciting. Beautiful photos and you reminded us why we're in Central Florida. 😉🥶
Yes, I can imagine. It’s the same reason we went to Arizona to begin with to stay out of the bad weather. 😂😂
Beautiful video of Sedona.👌

Thank you. You are so sweet and are always a special friend to go on our trips with us. ❤️
Love the video I watched it to the very end thank God your husband knows how to drive in the snow
He does. He grew up in NY and spent a bunch of time in CO after college.
Very nice video Stay connected friend
Thank you.
@@LivingtheSilverLife please join me friend
Such nice beautiful views. That was nice to see the weather change. Wow all of those cars getting stuck. Good there was help.
Yes, it was a beautiful day in the snow and it turned ugly fast.
Wow,slippery road,great adventure tour!watching from USA,warm greeting and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. We are definitely trying to keep warm. 😂
Nice pictures and vlog. So beautiful view. Stay warm 👍
Thank you. We will sure try.
I have been to Sedona for five times it is a beautiful place you were so blessed to be able to be there on Valentines thank you so much for this great video you put together it’s a great place for me it brings back beautiful memories when my aunt and uncle lived in Cottonwood not too far from Sedona
Cottonwood is where our campground was. We love the area too.
It's nice to have someone like that lady to give you all the information you need, it really saves you a lot of time. Beautiful place out there guys, you got some fantastic pictures. Wow those are some icy roads, very dangerous. So nice of everyone to help that car that was stuck.
She really did know her stuff. I don’t know if all chamber of commerce are that helpful, but she was. We had a blast right up to the point that people were sliding into ditches. Glad no one was hurt. And everyone was able to get out.
I was just going to say how beautiful Sedona is with the red stone but when that white stuff hits wow. That got bad very fast didn’t it. I think like Bill I’d be very comfortable in the snow. 62 years in Canada will do that to ya. Hahahahaha glad you guys had a good vehicle and someone with a lot of talent driving. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
This is very true. We loved the red rocks but the white dusting really set them apart. Yes, you and Bill could have set up shop up on that road just getting people out. No one was expecting that to happen so of course people who shouldn’t be there-were. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
Looks like a great trip! I love the snow pics!
Thank you. It was fun for the most part.
Happy driving buddy,
Everything looks so white and pretty
Thanks for sharing and happy Valentine's day 🌈🌈
Happy Valentine’s Day a little late. It was very pretty. And we had a lot of fun really. We are just glad no one was hurt. 👍🏼
Wow, it is crazy how fast the weather can change! The snow sure is pretty! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
It really is how crazy. It was pretty while we were playing though. 😂😂
Haha ~Nice video thanks for sharing, Happy valentine's day 👍🙏🙏 🌹🎊🎉🎈
Happy Valentines Day. Thank you.

Sedona is our favorite destination so far! The scenery is amazing. Bless you for lending a hand. :)
Yes, it's our favorite too. There's so much off-roading you guys can do there. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
A pretty, but scary drive!
It was pretty.
Great tour :o)
Thank you. -Bill and DeAnna

Thank you.
Looked like a fun but eventful day. Thanks for sharing. Kent and Tami
It was. Thank you. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
So much for all the great information I never just stop by the Chamber of Commerce maybe I should have maybe I would’ve Had even more fun
Usually the chamber of commerce can start you in the right direction for things to do that you’re interested in doing. Since Scout suffers from separation anxiety, we try not to do things that he can’t do with us. ❤️
Perfect. Thank you for sharing. 3. 👍
Thank you.
Cute cute dog 🐕
Nice pictures and vlog👍
Thank you. We love our sweet boy b
Such a beautiful couple and adorable dog. Thanks for sharing. Such beautiful place to explore.

BEautiful Sceneries!
Thank you for a very interesting and wonderful video. 💗🤩
Thank you.
Travelling like this is "life"! I've never ben to Arizona, until now. Thanks for sharing, like 52!
You would enjoy Arizona. It’s so diverse. 👍🏼
😳 more adventure than you probably were looking for. Bill has to be worn out! So nice of him to help at least 3 vehicles that I can remember. I thought you were going to have to tie Scout up to that white car to pull it out! 😂
Scout volunteered to do just that, but we said only as a last resort. 👍🏼👍🏼 😂😂
@@LivingtheSilverLife 😂
New here... Wow, beautiful area even in the snow. In a couple of weeks (when it gets a little warmer) I'm traveling to Puerto Penasco in my RV. Cheryl in New Mexico 💗
Have a good time in Puerto Penasco. Hopefully the worst of the weather will be over. Thanks for stopping by. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
Nice work by you .very nice Red rock..i love it ❤ much enjoyed .thanks for this interesting upload .see you again !
Thank you. It was a fun day in the beginning, and I am proud of Bill for helping.
awesome share lk
Thank you.
nice scenery I enjoyed ur video thumb up 👍
Happy to see you friend
Thanks for visiting
Perfect title " delightful to dangerous ", what an amazing difference! Who care the instructions, every body wants to enjoy the weather (SNOW), have a wonderful day 💕🌸
This is true. Everyone wants to play in it.
Oh man. We drove that road in good conditions. I can't imagine driving it in those conditions. Looks so scary!
Tell me about it. It is a beautiful road with or without the snow. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
Sedona is absolutely beautiful.........omg.........We are definitely putting that on our lists of places to visit. Thank you for the awesome scenery.
Thank you. We had a good time.
Thanks for continuing to share with me 🤜🤛I send you a very strong hug and many greetings ✅👍
Thank you. 👍🏼
Here catching up on some videos that I missed a couple of weeks ago. That was quite an adventure. I’m glad that you guys are safe and sound. 💕
Yes, it was quite the adventure. We did have a good time; even with the snow storm.
What Breathtaking views Love this ❤️😊❤️
Thank you. It was a beautiful day for the most part.
Wow! That was a bit of excitement there. Glad you were able to help out those other vehicles. Snow can be beautiful, but dangerous too. Great video. Full watch! 🤗😊
Thank you. It was a crazy day. 😂
It is always wonderful to travel and have that great meal set later! All the best Living the Silver Life!
It really is! We really enjoyed the pizza, salad and wings. LOL
*interesting house on the ridge, whoa. I want to pet that little cute puppy. Beautiful Drive.....gorgeous. People caring for others, lifes greatest value*
It really is. I’m so proud of Bill. He always wants to help in snow days cause he has the experience.
@@LivingtheSilverLife Shows Character
I always think Red Rock State Park and the surrounding area looks so beautiful in videos. And it looked even more beautiful with snow. I hope we get to visit there one day soon. It was so nice of y'all to stop and help people stuck along the side of the road. I would be freaking out if we were stuck like that and there was no one around to help. Thanks for sharing your adventurous trip with us!
Bill actually enjoys stopping to help people when they are stuck in snow cause it’s actually something he know a lot about and how dangerous it can be if people don’t get out. We love the red rock area. It is so pretty and the snow just adds to that beauty. ❤️. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
A great drive, thanks for taking us along
Our pleasure! Thanks for coming along. Bill and DeAnna
That is a beautiful place, we have never been..that is a photographers paradise! The Pup did not look happy in the snow.. people at are ill prepared to drive in those conditions shouldn't. Glad you guys are safe and sound. It was nice to see folks helping along the way. We did that yesterday in our little town. My son and I drove around and helped stuck drivers all afternoon. I have to admit it was fun. Ford Trucks Saved the day! Good video.. thank you so much for sharing.
Your last statement cracked me up cause that’s exactly what Bill thinks. Over the time we were in the Sedona area we saw so many trucks stuck in a ditch or in a bank. He’d say you notice that’s not a Ford. One day that will come back to bite him in the butt. 😂😂. We had so much fun, and you’re right it’s a photographers paradise; even when it’s not snowing.
@@LivingtheSilverLife I think that Bill and I will get bit in the Butt right about the same time.. but in the mean time.. Love my Ford Truck (and a new one on the way)!
Congrats on the new truck. You two are a couple of Ford men. Our grandson is even named Ford. Of course it’s short for Hanford, Bills middle name. 😂😂. What kind of Ford are you getting?
@@LivingtheSilverLife Well the cat is not officially out of the bag yet.. but we. are doing a substantial upgrade from the F150 we have to an F350.
That will be awesome. You will have tons of power.
Great sharing my friend! Support and greetings from Poland :)
Thank you. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
Wow the snow really impacted a lot of folks. Nice job helping everyone and glad all are safe😊😊
Thank you. It was really cold and nasty for sure.
So nice video 👌👌💓👌💓👌👌👌💓💓👌👌👌👌👌👌💓💓
Thank you.
The snow pics looks awesome but, driving on it scares me a lot lol... great vlog of your trip. Stay warm and safe travels. Greetings from Maryland my new friend 👍💐
Thank you. Driving in snow scares me too. Glad I have Bill for that. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
Happy that everyone is safe. Nice of y'all to help everyone that was stuck.
Thanks. We had a lot of fun until cars started sliding off the road and getting stuck.
Beautiful rock formations! This winter started out so mild but then just got crazy!!
That’s what Bill was saying tonight. 2020 was CoVid. What’s 2021 going to be: natural disasters? I told him to bite his tongue. 😂😂
@@LivingtheSilverLife We just don't know anymore! Hopefully it will be a better year for all! ;-)
Pulling an RV in that kind of weather had to be tense.
We weren’t hauling ours in that weather, but there were some that were. Yes, that would be tense. 😂
I love this entire area!! But yes, when its cold and snow is on the ground its tricky. Beautiful - thank you for taking us with you!
Thank you for coming along. Bill was in his element. He was so happy.
We have never been to Arizona and have always thought it looked beautiful. The snow and the red rocks are even more beautiful. So nice of Bill to help everyone. Great video & glad you made it back safe & no one was hurt!
Thank you. We had a great time; even considering the crazy business at the end. It was a little scary for a little bit. We love the red rock area too. It was our second time there. The first time there wasn’t any snow and it was beautiful. Lots of snow this time and still beautiful.
Be safe. Have a nice day!
Thank you. You too.
Well that was exciting 🤪 Some days are the ones you will never forget. That was a cool road if it wasn't snowing ⛄️
It really is a beautiful road even without the snow. It’s one of our favorite scenic drives. 👍🏼
Wow you need the right truck and tires to handle conditions like that , great video thanks for sharing
Luckily Bill has the right set-up. Plus his experience helps.
Awesome you can enjoy and share your silver life! Loved the topography around Sedona! I've never been there but the colors and shapes of the hills are so beautiful 🎨🎨
Glad you enjoyed it! We loved the area.
@@LivingtheSilverLife Nice blog and I like how you embrace your free time! Stay active! It's inspiring to others!!!
Glad u made it back down
Us too. 👍🏼
Wonderful place Sedona, I hope you happy forever, thank you for sharing video.
We really had a good time. -Bill and DeAnna
Thank you. ❤️
Enjoyed this one too !! I loved our time in and around Sedona, AZ !! Oops, more fun and games on the roads, great, entertaining video 😊. All the best, Don 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. It's some crazy driving going on when people get out and can't drive in the ice and snow.
We were married in Sedona in February, 2017. The weather was perfect and then we got a ton of snow. For a few days we couldn't get around much but once the roads improved the snow covered red rocks were unforgettable. Love the margarita pizza. scary when the weather changes like that. 👍#64
It really is scary when you aren't expecting it to be like that. I bet your wedding was beautiful.
nice driving tour beautiful things to see along the way can see how things got tough in the snow
*always we give a full watch👍Au👍we gave you a big like too*
Thank you. It was beautiful. We really enjoyed our day.
Love Sedona. So beautiful
We do too. Thanks.
Happy V day! Great drive, great rescue! Glad you made it back safely :-)
Thank you. It was a crazy day. ❤️😂
Crazy house at 3:57! 👍 Nice driving tips. Wow, the snow was really falling. I can why it's dangerous with that dude in the ditch. Nice helping out. Ful watch. Well done. 💪
Thank you so much! It is crazy how dangerous it can get and so quickly. -Bill and DEAnna
Happy Valentine's Day! We love Sedona, such a relaxing place to be and the snow was so beautiful. At least there are kind people still willing to help others out. Thanks for sharing ~Wilson & Kelli
Thanks guys. This was our second time in Sedona and we’ve loved it both times. We had a good time. Glad no
One was hurt. Be safe. -Bill and DeAnna
Wow, that was quite a change in the weather from start to finish. Beautiful scenery in the snow, but dangerous to drive. Awesome you guys helped the ones stuck get out. We laughed when you said the signs say Don't Play in the Snow, then you showed the signs. They speak from experience. Haha. Sedona is beautiful.
It is a beautiful area with or without the snow. We had a blast. The only downside was how dangerous the road got for some people.
Wow be safe family!!!
Thank you. We will try.
It's very pretty there. You must have gone up in elevation quickly. Stay warm.❤
We did. It was a lot of fun until the cars started sliding off the road.
I enjoyed seeing that downtown! That snow sure can be tough to drive in but it was cool to see so many people out helping one another get out of the ditches. Caught some beautiful shots along your drive!
We really did get to see and catch some beautiful snowy scenery. Proud of Bill and all the others who stopped to help those people who were struggling to get back on the road. Love this area.
I love Sedona. I have not been in years. I need to plan a trip down that way. That whole area is wonderful
It is so much fun with so many beautiful views. We love the red rocks. 👍🏼
Such a beautiful area. In our area we call that Grapple. That's the problem with the slushy stuff always makes for an interesting drive.
It really is an issue. I like that word Grapple. -Bill and DeAnna
Us from Wisconsin were yelling at the people in the ditch that couldn’t drive.. 😂 So wonderful of you guys to stop and help get them out.. the snow did make it so beautiful... glad you got back to Sedona safely.. Happy Valentine’s Day! Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Thank you. It was a wild few hours. It’s hard to believe that one minute your having fun and the next your hauling people out of ditches. Thank goodness no one was hurt.
@@LivingtheSilverLife So luck no one was hurt for sure... stay warm & safe
Heyyy there family!!! Here following along great vlog ... omgg that marhgerita pizza looks amazing!!! Wow the snow got filled fast wow.. tonight we had a bit of snow over here in S. Texas but nothing major
We are getting quite a bit of snow too. It changes so fast. One minute your laughing and having fun. The next you’re helping people out of ditches. Thank goodness it wasn’t worse. 👍🏼
🖐Hello hello! Just stopping by and showing some love =) Full watch and big thumbs up for you! See you again friend!
-Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Thank you. ❤️
Nice, what month did you record the video. Thanks Don
We actually recorded it the last few days in January. We moved it up in our timeline of videos so it would be closer to its relevance. We have another one next week of our trip to Flagstaff that’s out of order, but needed to be shown. After that we will get back on schedule.
@@LivingtheSilverLife we wondered the same thing. But before I asked I thought I'd read comments to see if someone else asked. *Smile*
Another channel showed their place in Flagstaff with 2 feet of snow. Wow. Didn't know AZ got that much snow. (but then, this weekend Houston and Austin got lots of snow that we didn't know TX gets.)
This area is so beautiful!! I know how weather can change so dang fast!!! I got caught in it in Oklahoma City this past week! Stay safe!!
You’re right. Most of the people up there stuck literally went up to play in the snow. Like us, they had no idea the conditions would change so fast.
Perfect
Thank you.
Nice video! My wife & I are currently relocating to AZ, & hope to retire in about 12 years & do what you're doing! Have you guys ever put together a video about how you got started as full-time RV'ers?
Not yet! Well, sort of about 2.5 years ago during the first season, but it wsan't really thorough. LOL! We have a season 1 playlist, that may help because I think we kind of intermingle some of it in the first several videos of us going full time. However, I think you have to skip like the first 8 or 9 cause they were pre first season.
Looks so good! Thank you!
Thank you.
omgg that marhgerita pizza looks amazing!!
It really was so good.
Sedona looks like an interesting place. Mmmmm chcken wings N margarita pizza! YUM! 😋 Gorgeous image at 04:01 👌 This is a greyt reminder for my why I don't want to deal with snow anymore. 😬 What a mess! I'm thinking Scout liked the beach better. 🤔
I think you are right. He is not a snow dog. 😂😂. I definitely prefer the beach too. I honestly think Bill preferred the snow. He loves it. I just don’t get it. 😂😂
@@LivingtheSilverLife Men are from Mars? 🤔 It's COLD on Mars! 🤣
We've had so much snow and brutal temps that I keep trying to get away from the snow. Lol. You can always tell when people are inexperienced driving in the snow or if their vehicle doesn't have snow tires. I'm just always hopeful they don't take me out when they lose control. The snow is beautiful, in videos and pics. I don't like it near as much in my yard. 🤣🥶
You really can tell who is experienced with driving in the snow. You know they have to be scared to death driving the rest of the way down the mountain after sliding on those slick roads. Especially in areas that don’t have a good edge and come right up against a cliff.
We are glad to be out of that now.
I'm glad everyone is okay. The weather has been insane lately!! Snow it so pretty to see, but terrifying to drive in. (at least for me) lol
That is so true. We are glad no one was hurt. Just a few scratches on cars. 👍🏼
@@LivingtheSilverLife Much better than scratched on people for sure!
No joke!! By the way, thank you so much for your support on our channel! It's greatly appreciated. It can be hard first starting a channel! lol I can't wait to see what more videos you all come out with!!
What is it that you have between your seats that Scout sometimes sits on? Is it a dog bed (and did you at some point put an amazon link for it?) or a soft blanket or sheepskin or something like that??
We actually have a Beddy. That’s part of it. They call it minky. (Beddys.com)
It’s like a giant sleeping bag for your mattress. It makes making your bed is easy. Plus it’s great for kiddos beds.
OK. I misunderstood what you were asking about. Bill read it and said I don’t think she was talking about the Beddie. 😂😂. Sorry. He realized you were talking about the pedestal Bill built with the sheep skin looking bed on it between our two seats.
Bill made the wooden pedestal to cover the console so Scouts claws wouldn’t scratch the leather, but he can still get to us. It’s on a hinge so we can lift it to get to the console. We attacked grommets to it and the dog bed so that it snaps on and off for easy washing. I honestly can’t remember where we bought the actual bed. 😂
Sorry again for misunderstanding. Sometimes I show him laying in our bed not wanting to get up.
Bonne courage 🍃
👍🏼
We took the trip down 89A to Sedona and my husband didn't see anything but the winding dangerous road. He had a good grip on the steering wheel. 😉
Yes, I wish my husband was better about that. He's more like- Look at that! And I'm more like- BILL!!!!! Watch Out!!
@@LivingtheSilverLife I was like "look at that!" He's like "I can't, we'll all die!"
😂😂😂
Uff da... those people don't know how to drive in the snow at all! Lol... oh wait we have those same people in Wisconsin every time it snows too...
I can’t believe you have people in Wisconsin that can’t drive in it. That’s my excise every time I see people who shouldn’t be in the snow areas driving. Oh well, they are probably from the south and haven’t learned to drive in it.
Jeep power!!
Exactly. 👍🏼
Knew you would appreciate that one. 😂😂❤️
Stay safe
Thank you.
food looks good
It was. ❤️
Biutiful,come to my place sis !!
Thank you, I will.
