My DH is not a Disney person, but settles for Disney for 3 or 4 years and then a Sedona trip. Next year will be our third. We stay at a small place (old fashioned motel type) called Sky Ranch Lodge. We get a Rim View which has the best sunrises and sunsets. It is very close to one of the vortexes. One afternoon we were coming down the mountain road (wide enough for two cars) and Jim stops the car, jumps out and comes back and tells me to get out so I can see this giant (about 12 feet tall I think

) tarantula. He took some pictures and off we went. He was thrilled.

I on the other hand was less than thrilled.
Urban legend says that.....
On a jeep tour of Sedonas red rocks during the weekend, the tour guide told our group that Walt Disney owned a house in the area in the 1940s and 50s. From his place on Disney Lane, he supposedly first viewed the rock formation Capitol Butte, which helped inspire him to build
Disneylands Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Capitol Butte now is better known as Thunder Mountain in this area.
However, I believe this is just an urban legend as I believe Walt died before Big Thunder Mountain opened.
Anyway, I have convinced myself it is true so when we are in Sedona, I feel I have a bit of Disney with me. & we did bring home a beautiful kachina doll and some lovely beads for my friend who makes jewelry. Also, some lovely silver earrings for me.

So this podcast has me totally excited about another Sedona trip. Can't wait.
Thanks for the wonderful podcasts.
