  1. And here I thought "I" was an avid hiker of the area. You all impress me and I am honored to have found this blog. Ellis, thank you deeply for recording what you have done. I have been hiking Sedona for 12 years now and have been doing exactly what your group does, but solo. I have since retired my desire to be a hiking guide in Sedona as the FS has gone in a different direction, but I will continue to hike everywhere and anywhere for the love of the land.

    I recently hiked Lime Kiln without knowing the history...at least from the 525 side of the story. I have to hike the remainder to get that patch!

    I'd love to keep track of your adventures so I will look every so often for updates of your adventures.

    As always, be safe and keep active.

    Gratitude and respect,

    Bear

  2. Clogged drains, slow flushing toilets, or sewage backups might signal septic tank trouble. For septic tank repair near you, look for licensed professionals. They can diagnose problems, repair damaged components, or recommend pumping or replacement if needed. Acting quickly can prevent costly overflows and environmental hazards.
