Sedona 1/01

--------     HAPPY NEW YEAR -------

The four of us (kathy/derek & kim) headed to Sedona for geocacing on the first day of 2012. Wow 2012 already.  Our first stop was Bootleg Park off of 89A before getting to Sedona for a geocache called "Nameless"-this was are 3rd attempt trying to find it. We walked down to the OakCreek area.. since the creek was low, we were able to get across it. Yea, we found the cache. From here a drive to the Sedona airpost. We then hiked up one of the red hills for another cache. Such a nice sunny day. Felt good to be outside in Tshirts & shorts.  Hiked was a 2 mi round trip. Then off to CottonWood to eat at Sizzler. After a late lunch we headed back to Sedona picking up 5 more caches on the way. Back at the RV around 6:30pm. Fun Day.
