Hi Thomas,
If I remember correctly there was a usage for Yoni as a description of
canyons or rock formations that resemble female genitals and the hoodoo
resembled a male. And in Nevada there were several places with these
formations with names like "virgin valley" (famous for opals) and Queen
Valley...
Check some of the Goddess and Earth Mother sources for references to Yoni,
try "Sacred Places of Goddess" by Karen Tate, isbn: 9781888729115

Count,
I was concerned that I might not be remembering this correctly so I
rechecked the source. It was in a story by Tom Robbins titled "Canyon of
the Vaginas", so I did get it wrong, but in my defense I think he refers
to it as valley of the yonis in the text.
Canyon of the Vaginas may not be the correct name either. Robbins made it
clear that he was aware of the potential for abuse at these sights so he
may have altered the name to help protect the place, or may have simply
created a name that he thought was more humorous.
