| 1975.1 | Suggestions Needed for New Vacation Destination | MEMIT::LSLAVIN | | Mon Jul 25 1994 16:44 | 10 |
| YUck!
Thank you for your message, although I am disappointed because I was
considering visiting Sedona later this summer. Guess I won't go now.
Can anyone suggest "another Sedona?"
Thanks!

| Lois,
I would still go to Sedona....I would stay away from the commericalism
by going to the vortex on your own. You can pick up a vortex map at
any of the hotels. I would like to return someday and do that. Just
to be in the area of that energy and mediate. It still can be a magical
place if you want it to! I just was disappointed that the world is so
greedy for money that they think you can "sell" spirituality.

| Yeah, "selling" spirituality is trying to use the old paradigm -- and
therefore missing the boat on all of the other possibilities that could
be even more enriching.
However, thanks for your recommendation. I'll reconsider visiting Sedona.
However, if anyone out there has other suggestions, Iwould still love
to hear them.
Thanks and blessings,
Lois

| 1975.4 | yes, do go to visit Sedona | TNPUBS::PAINTER | Planet Crayon | Wed Jul 27 1994 13:09 | 10 |

It really is lovely there, Lois. I went for the day several years
ago. My brother and I walked around the countryside and had a great
time. Can't remember anything specifically for you though.
I can give you the phone number of a former DEJAVUer - John Blum - who
knows just about all there is to know about Sedona, if you're
interested. He lives in California. Contact me offline.

Sedona is still very beatiful away from the commercial section, the
commercialism is really out of place there though. There's even an
outlet mall. Here is an area of fantastic energy and red rocks which
take your breath away and people go there to shop. I still recommend
it though since it's one of the most beautiful areas I've seen except
for the grand canyon in the southwest. I live in the southwest and
there are a lot of wonderful places without people but you also need
to bring you own water, food, camping equipment and be ready to deal
with the creatures (ie scorpions, snakes, spikers of various sizes,
etc) that go with it.

| re: .1 Another Sedona...
Try Yellow Island in the San Juan Islands of northwest Washington
State. It is now owned by the Nature Conservancy and is not well known
by the public. You can only reach it by boat and can not stay over
night, but the place has spirit and is beautiful. It also has an
interesting history.
For a vortex, I recall visiting one in southern Oregon with my parents
when I was young. As I recall it was near Roseburg or Grants Pass. At
the time there was a tourist stop called "Uncanny Canyon" since closed.
It is however a real vortex with all of the strange phenomenon that
goes with them.
Regards,
Howard

| 1975.7 | A beautiful area! | POWDML::DUNNIGAN | Pat Dunnigan, MLO4-1/B91 | Thu Oct 27 1994 12:38 | 23 |
| I lived in Sedona in 1988, my sister has lived there for the last 10
years. Several years ago they made Sedona a city, they put in town
sewerage and have built shopping malls, large super markets, etc.
Commercialism has taken over but the beauty of the area is
unparalleled. Come up over the hill from Cottonwood on 89A when the
sun is going down and the colors of the red rock are indescribable. Go
up Snebley Hill Road and the view is breathtaking. This is the
original road pioneers travelled from Sedona to Flagstaff to get
supplies. It is very much the same today as it was 100 years ago,
those were hearty souls. There are many areas off the beaten path that the tourists don't know or
care about. The Oak Creek Canyon area about ten miles outside of town
is beautiful.
My sister originally moved there because of its beauty, now they are
building a new home closer to Prescott in a more secluded area.
Please do visit, you can't help feel the energy when you are in the
presence of Bell Rock or the other cliffs.
