[Az-Geocaching] Sedona caches

[David E. Lucas]

Thanks for the waypoints/suggestions Scott.  I've been lurking on this 
list for
awhile now, and figured you'd be the one to know, but thought I'd throw the
question out there in case others had their personal favorites.  I've driven
through Sedona before and it's a beautiful area; I'm looking forward to
exploring the area on foot a bit.  Been doing mostly urban caches here in
Tucson, but just recently started doing some mountain caching (to escape the
heat and nab my first JTB) and am enjoying it quite a bit.

BTW, is anyone on the list aware of any upcoming event caches in Tucson?
Looking forward to an opportunity to see the faces behind all the names I've
become familiar with over the past year or so...

Thanks,
David
