Sedona - Red Rocks, Lost UFO's and Hollywood
London Bridge today, rocks tomorrow. The land of red rocks, sacred Indian ruins, a lost UFO, vortexes, hiking, biking, ghost towns, an old copper mine, gazillions of art galleries, old western movies and on and on and on. The land of Sedona, Arizona and the surrounding communities of Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Jerome, Village of Oak Creek, Camp Verde and Page Springs. With so much to experience I thought I had discovered a new vortex, the vortex of the orgasmic exploration of the five senses. It's not often that I yell out Ooh! La La in public.
So begins our in-your-face, all-you-can-eat Sunday champagne brunch adventure. There’re just aren't enough adjectives to accurately describe this beautiful locale, though I'll try.
Driving down the historic 89A South, Arizona's first designated scenic highway, we dropped from a chilly 7,500 hundred feet out of Flagstaff to around 5,500 in fewer than 12 miles. Descending along a 2-lane switch-back road was a heart pounding experience for Phil - I never noticed my eyes were glued to the landscape. As we descended into the Oak Creek Canyon and the Slide Rock State Park area the questions in my head began firing in too many directions and a system overload was eminent. Turning the corner into Sedona we were both exhausted, I from the scenery; Phil from concentrating. Next stop, home.
Some vessels anchor, ours plugs in and our plug-in home for the next four weeks is under a grove of Arizona Sycamore trees nestled along the waters of Oak Creek and within walking distance of the town. Our little slice of heaven? Rancho Sedona RV Park. Owner/Operators, Jerry and Margaret Frey and their outstanding staff are the keepers of this sweet 60's style coach park. The park offers 84 sites with varying individual amenities as well as a community fire pit and bar-b-q. Get out the marshmallows; they even have giant pitch forks for making smores.
The park is working on full accessibility and gladly assisted Phil and I with a couple of special requests. Once the park has completed their ADA bathroom/shower facility, Rancho Sedona RV Park will be absolutely perfect.
Tomorrow, stories and exploits of the billion dollar cooper mine and 450 locals clinging to a rock. Reminds me of Bermuda.
Wheelchair Accessibility Rating - Rancho Sedona RV Park: Good.
Recommendation: Ease up on the gravel and complete the ADA bathroom/shower facility.

Wheelchair Accessibility Rating - Town of Sedona: Great. Recommendation: Install wheelchair lifts in the courtesy shuttles. We couldn’t find one, though were told the fleet had at least one.

Hi Phil and Vic.
We enjoyed seeing your site for the first time.
My wife Phyllis and I are planning to spend a couple of years doing the same thing as you guys.
We'll be at the FMCA rally in Perry, Georgia (mid march) to look for an RV.
