Back From the Road!

I'm back from a wonderful road trip!

We visited three states, five hotels, one national park, three cemeteries, a zoo, a museum, the Las Vegas Strip, and a whole lotta movie locations.

Here's a sample movie location, from ANGEL AND THE BADMAN (1947):

This shot of John Wayne was filmed at Coffee Pot Rock in Sedona, Arizona.

We also visited significant locations for DESERT FURY (1947) in Cottonwood, Arizona, and WESTWARD THE WOMEN (1951) in Kanab, Utah.

I'll have much more on our trip here in the future, with special attention to the many movie-related aspects. Coming up first, though, a new Around the Blogosphere This Week roundup with lots of newsy links!

Update: As posts go up I'll be adding the links here so that they may all be found in one place: Visits to Sedona and Las Vegas Cemeteries; Sedona, Arizona: Angel and the Badman (1947) Locations; Sedona, Arizona: Western-Themed Street Names; Sedona, Arizona: Chapel of the Holy Cross and Johnny Guitar (1954) Locations; Cottonwood, Arizona: Desert Fury (1947) Locations; Sedona, Arizona: More Film Locations; Photos From the Road: Arizona Restaurants; Photos From the Road: Utah Restaurants; Photos From the Road: Zion National Park; Photos From the Road: Bearizona; Photos From the Road: Las Vegas and More.

My photos from Kanab, including Parry Lodge and a WESTWARD THE WOMEN location, may be found in my June 2021 Western RoundUp column at Classic Movie Hub.
