    … behind the story … a number of years ago the National Park Service closed off access to the summit of Sunset Crater NE of Flagstaff, AZ. Ostensibly the reason given was the preservation of the beautiful crater which formed from a volcanic eruption nearly a thousand years ago. I was able to dispel this assertion on a flight a few years ago. It seems that they keep the secrets by barring anyone from climbing the crater and hide it from aerial view by covering it with a fake cover making it appear to be a normal crater. Evidently they have to clean it periodically and I was lucky enough to be up there when they were doing the cleaning and the true nature of Sunset Crater was revealed … oh well, what can you expect from someone who has been up for 22 consecutive hours :+) Still, it could be true. Plausible? Probably not, but it is possible. Portals to where?

    A little late taking off this morning, but was wheels up by 7:30 and on the ground at Falcon field at 8:20. Most of the “clean up” items were addressed, a new weight and balance performed and it was out of there with a return to Sedona. The air was really rocking on the return flight and I took the time to work some 1,000’ per minute thermals over the Verde River canyon south east of Camp Verde about ten miles. It was a day for glider guiders! In the afternoon some friends drove me to Flagstaff to pick up the ’95 van; home and out to dinner. A very fun day  and now it is time to shut it down. One is sleeping partially on the keyboard and fascinating things are happening.

    Hope your day was wonderful … if not today, treat yourself to one tomorrow … your choice.

    Cheers

    Ted

    And lastly give sweet sleep
    Closed sight, no fright
    That fears will o’er me creep;
    And now a last goodnight.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
