Getting Wet

It was a stormy day in and around Sedona.  This is Thunder Mountain, shrouded in clouds late afternoon.  So much for "it never rains here in October."

I attended a great lecture this evening, sponsored by Keep Sedona Beautiful.  The subject was "Effluent to Asset,"  If you are laughing at the title, you do not qualify as a Nature Nerd!  It was very informative, about creating constructed wetlands to deal wtih waste water.  Sedona is just beginning phase one of such a project.  Constructed wetlands are a cost-effective, eco-friendly way to deal with effluent, while creating wildlife habitat.  They can be enlarged in phases as needs increase.  There is little expense after the initial creation, and Sedona currently has adequate funds for this project.  Sounds cool to me!

  1. Dear Techie Friend,
    Would it be ok if I posted a Plurk feed about your blog? (Plurk is like Twitter.)

    While at a tech conference here in town meet a gal who is moving to Sedona. Asked her about hiking and she seemed excited to learn more. Will be directing her to your blog.

    Just enjoyed reliving our hike via your posted pictures. As I sit in my chair, making my way through emails and work, it was nice to take a break...

  2. It's ok to post the blog link. How lucky for that gal to be moving here, and she can email me, too, as I'd be happy to share info.

    Will try to get back to W. Fork before I leave on Thursday - love that place!
