Birthplace of Americana (Part 1)


In west Sedona there is a mountain that stands out quite visibly called "thunder mountain." Thunder mountain has a road going up it called Disney road. A man named Walter lived on Disney road and was a creative genius. At the time Sedona wasn't really on the map... it was almost a ghost town. There was still a mining community all around the area and rail roads to serve the mining industry. Disney immortalized his home in Sedona when he recreated it in his self indulgent dream world: Disneyland (I wonder if walley's world was too obviously narcissistic even for walter.) So what does Sedona look like, the answer is: Disneyland.

Jacob --- You found the real Disneyland !!!! I knew you loved it as a kid and I loved taking you there but I never knew until just this minute that W. Disney copied Mother Nature and her copartner God.
