I’ve lived in the New Age Mecca, Sedona, Arizona for twenty-five years. I’ve seen and experienced all sorts of interesting, fantastic and downright odd things. However, today on my walk, I saw something that I haven’t seen before and was a bit bizarre. Jeff and I walked down to Red Rock Crossing / Crescent Moon Ranch Park and continued up Oak Creek to a flat slab of red rock where many people go to take photos of Cathedral Rock. At the far end of the slab, we saw several people, in their birthday suits (nude), facing and honoring the setting sun. There they were, in all their glory, under one of the most photographed sentinels in this area, exposing themselves to the sun and any visitors who meandered down there. Welcome to Sedona.
