I ended up outside Sedona-ish. Not exactly where I'd planned to end up, but that's where I am. Three nights scheduled here in the same place. We'll see if I stay. There's a ton of things I want to see around Camp Verde, Sedona and Clarksdale. Might venture out after work and then mosey back to the camping areas.
