    … that tomorrow morning the peaks and Flagstaff area will be a winter wonderland and that the peaks and volcanic cones in the San Francisco Volcanic Field have coats of snow at least as much as these two photos. After snowfalls I always used to fly up there and spend an hour or so shooting them from every angle … once I had to go up through a blue hole and fly at 17,000′ to get above the clouds and make it up there and as promised by a friend there was a large blue hole up there to come down through and get a wonderful shoot of the peaks and area.

    The top photo was taken from the NW side of the San Francisco Peaks looking to the SE at the peaks. Humphreys Peak is on the left side and then the ridgeline I loved to run to Agassiz Peak on the right side … portions of Snowbowl are visible on the ridgeline running down from Agassiz peak. Love the reflections of Humphreys on my wing and the clouds on the leading edge.

    The lower photo is of Kendrick Peak after another snowstorm … the ceiling was pretty low that day, but everything was insanely beautiful. Tomorrow it is likely that the prairie in this photo will be coated with snow.

    A joyful day working on a special project and more tomorrow … a trip up to Flagstaff in the afternoon and perhaps some great snow photos … we’ll see.

    Have a fabulous day … smile a lot and keep breathing … what a gift! A repeat of Max tonight as it is so special.

    Cheers,

    Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time’s olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening’s twilight find me gentle still.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
