Sean drove to Sedona with us and we stayed in Villa 1114 at Arroyo Roble for 2 weeks starting on September 21st. Sean flew home after 8 days, and Suzanne came the day later and drove home with us
Nancy and Kay visited for 2 nights near the beginning of our stay. Weather was relatively warm and dry at the beginning of our stay, but on the last few days of the trip we had lots of showers and it cooled off.
Fay canyon with Sean -- Went up Fay Canyon and back -- pretty dry! Saw arch, and fellow hikers pointed out the "wine goblet" formation further up trail from the arch. At the end, we picked our way further up the wash in search of possible petroglyphs, but didn't find them -- Here is link to photo album: https://goo.gl/photos/WCfENG3zgbrM9e3Y8

Allen's Bend Trail from Grasshopper Point to Casner Canyon Junction--by Oak Creek -then up across highway to unnamed trail under power lines part way that connected to Wilson Mountain Trail--came down that trail to where it joined Wilson Canyon Trail and ended up at Midgley Bridge where Elaine picked us up.
West Fork to legal end. 13 crossings. Lots of apples & pears on trees near entrance. Fire damage somewhat hidden
Sean swam in Oak Creek behind Arroyo Roble at big pink rock before getting the shuttle to Phoenix Sky Harbor. He was able to find a spot in the current where he could swim a while without moving. He also found lots of interesting items and critters in the bottom of the creek where he was swimming.
