Sooooon.

I know, I know, I've been VERY neglectful with the blog lately. Opened a new store a couple months ago -- The Bucking Lizard Shirt Co. -- and it's kept me running. Will absolutely attempt to update SedonaGreenBlog with all the recent goings-on, pics & excitement ... soon.

The Mystery of The Hidden Cave!

The Mystery of The Hidden Cave: Last month, my buddy, Steve B., -- pro photographer and hiking enthusiast -- overhead a whispered rumor about a hidden cave. He shared the rumor with me. Our curiosity piqued, we plotted an adventure. We journeyed south of Sedona -- south of Camp Verde, actually -- to a remote and secret location. There, off a Forest Service Road, behind a curtain of prehistoric ferns, we discovered "The Hidden Cave." Good set-up, eh? Actually, it's not so hidden -- Steve had downloaded GPS coordinates from his friend, Patricia. Nonetheless, the GPS was screwing up, and we wandered through a Jurassic forest in the rain for two hours before we found said cave. Nonetheless, a fine adventure it was. The following blog is simply photos of the adventure. A lot of photos. Note: Beyond the first room of the cavern, inside the belly of the mountain, there is obviously no light … and Steve and I had both forgotten our flashlights. Yeah, I know, not exactly Eagle Scouts. Well, we did have our cameras and a cell phone. Those instruments provided our only illumination. While this made the adventure more challenging and, well, daring, it prevented us from fully appreciating the magnificence of this natural masterpiece. The full spectrum of colors and details within the cave were only revealed to us afterward, when we checked out our photographs as you‘re about to do. Enjoy.
