At the Mariposa after setting up the tent - our waiter lived in his Wolfsberg VW van.

Travel day; heading north from Tucson on 77 to globe and 188 to Payson and 260 to Camp Verde. But, before leaving the big city we took a neighborhood bike ride focused partly on houses and fences. Arrived around 3pm at the pretty sweet Coconino National Forest camp on a creek - West Clear Creek in name. Rested and shot up to check out Sedona and a viewfull snack of al la carte scallops, yucca fries and several beef empanadas plus a nice clean red wine. Great waiter at the Mariposa which although a hoity toity joint to say the least had a staff who seemed really dialed into attention and friendliness. Impulsed in for the view but got more and no gut bomb sticking with appetizers and wine.
Back to camp (25 miles each way) a world away from the lux ambiance of Sedona.
