Sedona Vacation

**Riverkilt** · 3rd January 10, 07:05 PM

I've been coming to Sedona, Arizona since 1973 but usually just sort of blast through town on business, or a surgical shopping mission. At best a quick overnight and on the road again.

Just spent five days there and had a chance to explore a lot more.

This is the V Bar V Ranch petroglyph site, a very large petroglyph panel. Its near Sacred Mountain, a site of a Southern Sinagua pueblo. Even today there were folks setting up sweat lodge near Sacred Mountain - a holy place to many.

Here's a pic from near the Sedona Airport which is also near a "vortex" that draws so many new age folk the parking lot for the trail is always jammed. That's Sedona in the background.

Here's a "come on in" display for the local UFO store. Aliens are big in the area...outer space aliens that is...

Here's a pic of Oak Creek near the center of Sedona. Oak Creek runs into the Verde River which runs into the Salt River which runs into my beloved Colorado River.

Many positive comments on the kilt, met interesting folks because of the kilt.

Another set of great photos Ron, hope the holiday was as good as it looks.

Make sure you don't wear the Antarctic tartan in Arizona in the summer. We need all the ice caps we can get!

Really fine shots of you and your area. I saw the petroglyphs in the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest last summer. Thanks for reminding me of them.

Beautiful pictures! I love Sedona! Did you remember to pack your healing crystals so you could re-charge them at the vortex?

Ron, once again you've treated us to some great scenery.

Great pictures Ron. My parents retired to Sedona in 1982 and I visited often until they passed away. They lived just below Coffee Pot Rock. A beautiful area. Love the cliff dwellings as well as a side trip to Jerome. Thanks for sharing with us. Good memories.

Fabulous photos, Ron, some really sharp looking kilt outfits in marvellous scenery.

What an interesting place(well to the nearest umpteen hundred thousand acres, anyway) you live in Ron. Super pictures and nice to see you have mastered "the pose" with the cromach.
