    Healing Paws

    By Ted Grussing

    … and then I was headed back to the valley and lower altitudes which translate into higher temperatures … if you can call 24F warm. I did get into the air mid-afternoon and temperature on the ground was a balmy 44F (you’re kidding, right?) so I got Mariah out and took off with the intention of spending an hour or so photographing the peaks and volcanic field.  Yeah, sure thing … at 7,000’ the OAT (outside air temperature) was down to 24F and by the time I got up to the peaks at 11,000’ I was down to single digit OAT and my fingers were going numb (no gloves).

    Do I have cabin heat? Absolutely I do, but the heat is derived from air coming in, passing around the muffler and then into the cabin. So you have air traveling around 80mph passing over a muffler that is about 7 inches in diameter and then straight into the cabin. The exhaust gases are about 1400F so the muffler is pretty warm, but the single digit air spends about 1/200th of a second getting warm as it passes over the muffler … and the sun was on my back so not much help from that. So the planned hour or so up there lasted five minutes,

    And what does freezing temperatures and fingers look like? Like this … it was absolutely beautiful! Heated gloves and socks next time, or perhaps I’ll just wait for warmer days … naw, can’t do that. The peak on the left is Humphreys, then Agassiz and far right Fremont. Snow Bowl is in the basin left of the ridge line coming down from Agassiz and you can see some of the lower runs. It was beautiful and worth the numb fingers.

    I am looking for a service that allows me to post larger and higher res images for those on the Constant Contact list and if any of you have an idea I would like to hear it. They reduce the size substantially so that it reduces the bandwidth used I guess.

    You can also see my missives and photos at: https://sedona.biz , http://www.verdenews.com/news/features/blogs/sedona-pathwaysour-daily-journal/  and Gateway to Sedona has just added a permanent display of my photographs at:  and of course I maintain an archive at http://tedandcorky.com/wordpress1/  Please visit the websites of these very nice people who host my work.

    Into the weekend and hope you have a wonderful time … stay warm and smile.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
