We used to have an annual event in Moab called Moab Muni Fest, but the organizer decided to call it quits. People would do an informal one for a while, and this year someone threw out a new location: Sedona, Arizona! I went to college in Prescott Arizona for a few years, and did a trip or two to Sedona. I recall it being very beautiful, but it was so long ago that I don\u2019t remember much. I have every Friday off from work (I work part time), and I decided to drive my Model S out there. My friend Ashley came along, and I met up with another friend Aaron who came back with me.<\/p>\n<p>This was my first really long trip in the car. I think it is better to drive as fast as you can, which takes more energy, and then to charge a little longer. At up to about 110kW up to ~50% battery, the extra energy spent driving fast can easily be made up in a few minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Flagstaff charging station (my car is the red one):<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_6157.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6157.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 6157\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was the first time I took the car to less than 10% (9% at one stop), and I got used to it. \u00a0We had one scare when the GPS tracking went crazy and said the wrong percentage estimate for the destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I left Thursday after work, camped in Mojave national park (pitched the tent right off the road\/freeway off a small dirt road), and left early Friday morning to make it to Friday\u2019s ride.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s ride, at one of the arches (Devil\u2019s Bridge); I made it to the top right when most people were going down. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/527380496\">STRAVA ride details\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_6161.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6161.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 6161\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s ride, Broken Arrow Trail , doing some of the Hog\u2019s wash (etc) trails.
