Yeah, but he called *you* a dumbass yuppie beer snob, and he
complimented me.

If you say so. ;-) As for me being called a DYBS -- heck, that's
what he calls anyone who has any taste in beer. I'd be worried if he
and I agreed on anything regarding beer, other than it's wet and goes
down well after a day of hiking and fishing. :-)

I can't really disagree with you on the vortex, etc. I was
talking with some of the locals, and it's gotten so expensive to live
there that the "real" Sedona residents have been driven out by the
damyankee Birky-wearing, sprout-eating, wine-drinking snobs.

But then again, for me Sedona is really just a jumping-off-place
for exploring the area.

Last time I checked, the Flagstaff, Prescott, and Prescott Valley areas
are still affordable, although Prescott is getting up there. Sedona and
the immediate areas are high, but if you have money, whatever you buy,
property wise, becomes a decent investment.

Yeah, it's an investment, but if you want to live there, you'd
better be getting pretty good money from elsehwere, as according to the
guy who owned the place where we were staying, the cost-of-living has
been going up ~25% each of the last few years.

From the looks of Flagstaff, I'd say you could still buy cheaply there.
