Sedona site hunting

Yesterday, Lou and I grabbed a camping spot off Forest Service Road 525 between Cottonwood and Sedona. Nothing fancy except for the radio controlled airplane center across the road. Even though Lou is interested in RC planes (and boats), the site was just a temporary spot, a landing strip, if you will. Nyuk-nyuk.

This morning we cruised the area looking for a better spot. The ones we had in mind from our time here in October were already occupied. Even spots we weren't particularly interested in were taken. Spring break, Easter holiday and good weather brought out the crowds. We thought we might have to settle for the spot by the RC airplane facility, but I said, "Let me check if this other spot I know is available."

It was.

Up a hill with a great view of the red rocks Sedona is famous for. The road up the hill is a rocky, lumpy mess, but it's short. And it keeps large rigs away. It's near the highway and its noise, but it's a small price to pay.

 

It's a nice place. I imagine we'll be here a while, though there's talk of Grand Canyon. Hmmmm...
