Sedona and Cottonwood Trip

A couple of weeks ago we decided to take the camper up to Cottonwood and camp at Dead Horse Ranch State Park for two nights. Its a great central location to Sedona, Jerome, and Camp Verde. The first night we went into Sedona to look at the lights at one of the resorts. The second day we went down to Camp Verde to go to an animal park called Out of Africa. They pride themselves on how they socialize the animals to humans so that they don't mind people walking around them all day pointing and yelling at them. There main attraction is a show called Tiger Splash in which a bunch of collage aged kids run around a giant penned in field with Tigers and taunt them using inflatable objects that the Tigers tear to shreds. Then usually when the Tiger starts to get hungry for one of the collage kids they throw them some meat to keep them distracted. Its definitely fun to watch and I figure it will be on for another five or six years and then someone is going to get killed.
