There are times in our lives that define us as people. There are people in our lives that touch our hearts forever, and ever. On New Years Day of 2021, my boyfriend and I were privileged to experience both. Not only was so-called “Western Sedona” a really stand up company. But we also met the kindest soul who was our guide on this ATV trip. His name? Dottie.
From the beginning that I met him, his warmth of personality and mischievous charm completely won me over. He made sure that we were safe the whole trip. During one of our scenic stops, he even offered us some of his Halloween candy. My boyfriend availed himself of many snickers bars, twix, almond joys, mounds, butterfingers, twizzlers, three musketeers, Mars bars, pay days, baby Ruth’s, Reese’s peanut butter cups, wothers originals, and best of all hershies kisses 😚. The ATVs went very fast. And sometimes it was bumpy. But I always felt safe knowing that Dottie had his ever watchful eye on me.
10/10 would repeat but request—nay require—that Dottie be our guide again.
