How's Grasshopper Point, Scott? It's been a long time since I was there....do they have any ramadas or anything there now? That's a pretty area and it's free!! You could always try for Flagstaff too, since it isn't far away. Buffalo Park has a cache or two I think and that'd be a central point of town for any Flagstaff cachers. Let me know if you want any help planning. I'm in the valley, but I think I told you that I grew up in Flagstaff, so I do know a few areas around there.

If I'm buying... we are all going to Burger King!!!! :)) LOL LOL LOL RAFLMAO!!!! I was just joking about the Enchantment Resort thing.... :) That place is ssssssooooo expensive, I wouldnt take a girl there for dinner! Call me cheap.... but I could never justify paying that much for a dinner plate with a bunch of stuff on it that I cant even pronounce!!! Just give me a pizza or a burger anyday! ;) I have eaten at the Los Abrigados up here before. A bit pricey.. but great food! I hear the Enchantment is great eatin' too... but I have never eaten there. It's too fancy smancy for me :) Thats more for people who, like, own Hummer H2s (you know, the kind that never leave a paved road and dont have an ounce of mud or dirt on em'!) and stuff. ;) I'm more into the mom and pop small town BBQ joint where all the good ol' boys and girls can pull their old pickup trucks up and go for some good grub! (there is a great one in Camp Verde). Seriously, I was thinking lately that it would be cool to have an event cache up here in Sedona. No one ever does event caches for the Flagstaff and northern AZ cachers. Would be fun to get them all together. There are a number of fairly active cachers up here.... but I have never met any of them before. There is apparently a listserv for Northern AZ caching.... but no one posts on it. I dont think there are very many cachers in Sedona at all. But there are a few active cachers in Cottonwood area and also many cachers who are fairly active up in Flagstaff. I cant really think of anywhere in Sedona where we could have one. I'm not really into the 'hang out in the park ramada' and bullcrap kind of caches. There are plenty of great places for that around here! Crescent Moon Ranch state park is beautiful. All grassy and shady and down along the Oak Creek. Popular swimming holes there and a great place for a BBQ. A bit pricey on the admission though (For an event cache anyways). I think it is like $7 to get in the park. There are also 2 caches in that park... of course, you can hike in along the creek to get to em'! ;) Oh... there is a really beautiful state park in Cottonwood/Clarkdale... Dead Horse Ranch state park. Again, lots of shade and greenery and down along the banks of the Verde River. Great swimming holes down there as well... AND.. there are like 7 active caches in the park! I found them all on one visit to the park. The park knows about all the caches and is very much geocache friendly. Now that would be a great spot for an event cache. I never really believed in paying to get into an event cache though. Again, it's a state park and I think I paid $7 or maybe it was $5 to get in. I think that is for a car load though. Anyone have an old school bus and we could ALL car pool in?! HAHAHA!!! :)) Anyways, I will give it some thought (as I have been recently) and maybe I will come up with something. There is only one cacher up here that I have communicated with lately and we have talked about getting together for a small cache run sometime. He is in Cottonwood.
