    Yavapai County Sheriff's OfficeSedona AZ (October 13, 2020) – On October 8, 2020, around 6:15 PM, YCSO received a 911 call regarding an overdue hiker in Boynton Canyon which is located west of Sedona. Two men had been hiking with 29-year-old Jordan Brashears from Washington state whom they met the day before. This day, October 8, 2020, the trio went on a hike together intending to visit ancient ruins in the canyon. They were about half a mile from the Enchantment Resort on the east wall of the canyon near a set of ruins when Jordan went ahead of them. At that time Jordan was hiking bare foot and his two companions lost sight of him around a corner. When the area came into view, Jordan was gone. They called out and searched for at least an hour without success and then contacted the Sheriff’s Office.

    Deputies met with the reporting parties at the trailhead and gathered information to confirm Jordan’s identity and last known location. A team of searchers along with a YCSO Forest Patrol Deputy searched around the ruins as far as they could safely in the dark and saw no sign of Jordan. The following morning, deputies were organizing a more extensive search involving ground searchers, a drone and helicopter. During this time one of the men who was part of the trio the day before, was assisting with the search, found a water jug apparently belonging to Jordan on the east side of the canyon. Members of the YCSO search team investigated further and found a pair of shoes, a cell phone and then Jordan’s body around 9AM.

    Deputies indicated that Jordan appeared to have fallen more than 100’ from above where he landed and was found. Although not able to determine exactly how he got there, deputies believe he hiked away from his two companions and around the corner from the last place seen intending to climb one or two ledges/levels higher and fell from the edge. There is no indication Jordan did this on purpose or that foul play was involved. Jordan’s body was released to the medical examiner and next kin has been notified.

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
