Canyons near sedona?

I will do just that. Thanks for the suggestion. Guess those on the invite list should made aware so they have the choice.

I have been an out-of-stater participant on three occasions. On all of them, hives have been disturbed and multiple stings have occurred, to several different folks. Sometimes as many as four stings to a person. Now I am uncertain whether the bees are extremely loyal or it is one of those “law of averages” type thing, but all the stings were inflicted on the out-of-staters. Maybe one to Todd on the 1st trip as the exception? >

Aaron leads all with 8 total from the trips. Tom got a solid 4 last time. And to my knowledge, I am the only out-of-stater who has not been stung. Maybe the Zona boys told the bees that I have honorary in state status? Alas, I have probably jinxed myself now. >
