Is prescot near Flagstaff? Flagstaff is like 5000 feet isn't it?

[sedwar05]

Prescott is about 1 1/2 hours south of Flagstaff. We're at 5000 here, Flag is more like 7000 I think... Good skiing and snowboarding up there, no runs here for us...

So.....

I decided to get out of the house today and see how the weather is up in the mountains...











Well, since it's a nice day, let's go to Sedona...








Well, since I'm up here, let's go see Oak Creek...










Well, since we're almost there, let's go the the stadium in Flagstaff...




Celebrating all things domed:



Coming this spring: Saguaro National Forest, Lowell Observatory, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon, Old Tucson and Tombstone...

I absoutely love Flutterbug's thread. You've taken some awesome pics. I love them all! The stadium shots like Flutterbug just left the mother ship The second one is cool- the puff of clouds on the top of the dome seem to mimic the stadium.

Very nice- keep the pics coming!

hehehe... LOL

I just noticed the clouds in the pic, what a coincidence! That's the sports stadium at NAU where the AZ Cardinals have their training camp... And it's right down the block where I have classes, how convenient...

woot!!!!

Guess what I received in the mail today???



It's official!!!

I'm so giddy with excitement right now, I can't contain myself...

[sedwar05]

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for a bit, Flutterbug is finally getting her new clutch put in today! Old one was tore out yesterday and the flywheel is being re-surfaced, so she should be back on the road this afternoon! Yippie!!!

Here's a few pics of her "surgery":



And with the tranny pulled:



I'm glad to finally have this done so I can stop driving the husband's gas-guzzling truck...

[sedwar05]

Had her all put together yesterday and on the road... Clutch feels nice and tight, it's going to take me a day or two to get the feel of it.

Then she decided she needed a new thermostat two blocks from the house, as she overheated, so back in the driveway until this morning.

My daughter decided to share her NASA stickers with the bug:
