Our tour guide was Avery. After 5 hours he became a good friend in Sedona, Arizona. Highlight for me was the old movie set. He explained the filming that was done there for Westerns in the 40's & 50's when it was a ranching & farming town. The town was nicknamed Little Hollywood. I finally discovered the meaning of the song Sedona by Houndmouth released 13 years ago where the chorus is Hey, Little Hollywood! He drove us by the Lucille Ball house now owned by one of the Doublemint Twins. The town is named after Sedona Arabella Schnebly, an early founder of the town who's husband built the first road. We met an oldtimer who had parked a Model T w/ the original paint job in front of the Cowboy Bar.
