    Healing Paws

    By Ted Grussing

    … to last November which is about the last time I flew Mariah … a series of misadventures which I really do not feel like reliving again, and in January contracting with a new repair facility that is highly competent and as soon as the new parts arrive from the Czech Republic they will be up here finalizing all the repairs and Mariah will once again be a comfortable and safe place to spend hours in the air. This is about the longest I have gone without significant air time in the nearly twenty years I have been flying. Talk about ground sick!!! A good place to be between flights, but not this much time … oh well, there are still plenty of beautiful days to come and in less than a month I should be back up there.

    Starting from the left side of the image the flat top is Black Mountain, barely differentiated beyond that is Casner Mountain and behind them not visible is Sycamore Canyon. The little bump on the horizon before you get to the San Francisco Peaks is Kendrick Peak and to the immediate right of the peaks is Mt. Elden; on the right side of the image the loaf shape mountain is Mormon Mountain. Below Black Mountain there is a red rock kind of by itself and that is Robbers Roost which has a cave where the bad guys used to go hideout. At the very right side of the image is the entrance to Long Canyon and further right would be Sedona. In the foreground to mid-ground you have the beautiful contours of the Verde Valley … I love this Place.

    All thoughts of selling Mariah have gone up in thin air … that is where I plan to go too … just off the ground is good and thinner air is better; glider guiders have a slogan, “Get High and Stay High” … not exactly something you want to put on a bumper sticker attached to your car though.

    Talked to a friend in Denver that I have known forever … almost … and at age 93 he told me that one of the benefits he is finding with advancing age is that he meets new people every day … his humor has not waned.

    A quiet day mostly spent online taking lessons from www.lynda.com and more on tap for tomorrow. One spent some quality time out in the yard with me today and we’ll do a repeat of that tomorrow too. Have a beautiful day and soon there will be more of the aerial shots in these emails. I had finished a shot I took yesterday of a finch in our yard, but just couldn’t send it out tonight as I needed to work on an aerial shot as I look forward to March.

    Cheers and share a smile (s)

    So each one to his wish, and as for me,
    I sit tonight and wait
    To find the answers to my soul in me,
    And in the beauty of the sky and sea.

    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.
