I stumbled on workers assembling a tower crane at Robson and Granville Streets. Happily, I passed by just as they were starting to raise a new segment to the tower. Unhappily, I only had time to stay for this one segment.
Pretty difficult to see what's going on here. The foreground is actually part of the eventual arm of the crane. It's resting on "sawhorses" (out of frame), hence a few feet off the ground. The segment of the tower is also horizontal, and behind this. You can see the chains if you look closely. The helper crane has just lifted the segment off a flatbed truck, which then drove out from under it. Now the segment is being lowered onto the ground, where the crew will move the chains onto the top end of it for lifting it up.
Using a 5-axes CNC controlled machine tool, we obtain individual gear segments with identical rough radius of curvature and high-quality ISO-DIN 7 gears. Positioned along the load bearing frame of the antenna, they make up the gear circumference with rough diameters greater than 30 m and therefore suitable for raising satellite dishes with diameters greater than 60 m.
The Paseo de las Iglesias Phase 1 project has 3 main goals per the Bond: River Park, Ecosystem Restoration and Erosion Protection. Below is a summary of each of the final amenities in each category to be constructed onsite.
The project will provide river park pathway and amenities including 2.7 miles of paved pathway (16’ wide), 2.2 miles of DG pathway (8’ wide) and 10,305 new trees, shrubs and cacti irrigated using permanent irrigation, temporary irrigation and Dri-water irrigation methods. The water sources will be reclaimed water. With the construction of Paseo de las Iglesias the Loop will have an 8 mile continuous section on the Santa Cruz River. Amenities will also include 3 parking areas; the west side paved parking area with restroom, ramada and seating, east side paved parking and ramada, and west side equestrian staging area with dirt parking and mounting block.
The project will provide ecosystem restoration element including a plant pallet comprised of native species local to this part of the Santa Cruz but also sustainable for current conditions, water harvesting basins, preserve in place areas for vegetation and habitat, and special habitat structures like lizard habitat and raptor perches. Additionally, Lizard and amphibian salvage to be performed by RFCD though subcontract to Dr. Rosen at U of A. RFCD contracted with Dr. Rosen to collect and monitor lizards in a fenced off area off Cottonwood Lane south of the Community Garden. The fence has been constructed by Dr. Rosen and lizard catching is in progress. Other amphibians will also be salvaged for later release. This will be treated as a do not disturb area during construction. The focus of the restoration work will be improvement to Mesquite Circle Pond which is home to 9 unique and special interest native species and one of the jewels of urban Tucson herpetological community.
The project will provide erosion protection including 1.4 miles of new soil cement bank protection, 0.4 miles of gabion bank protection, and additional methods such as rip rap, rock plating and terracing.
In addition to the decorative elements designed by the landscape architect there will be Public Art elements. With the assistance of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, we selected public artist Andy Dufford. He has been working on an entry monument and ramada for the project site. We have also been working with Las Artes, a local Arts and Education center, on a tile mural at the restroom.
During the design process our individual Section 404 permit was obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers, cultural resources mitigation was performed and letter of clearance issued from SHPO, Intergovernmental Agreement obtained with from the City of Tucson regarding property within the project area and permits with ADOT applied for. A cultural resources/archeological Phase I, Class III study was completed. The study was conducted to the current standard and determined the extent of archeological resources on site. Based on the results from the study a mitigation plan was created to determine and plan for the extent of the impacts of the project and the necessary remediation. Additionally, a goal of the project is to create signage for a segment the proposed pathway to represent the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail along the west bank of the Santa Cruz River that commemorates the 1775-1776 expedition and the historic Paseo de las Iglesias Trail.

My plan for this year was to hike from Breckenridge to Twin Lakes, via Leadville, and then hike the Collegiate Loop. That would've been about 200 miles. I didn't even make it to Twin Lakes. For some reason I just wasn't in to hiking this year. Maybe it was the distance, I don't know. The scenery that I had already enjoyed should have spurred me on but it did not.
The hiking for the day was not difficult. The trail went past a few landmarks. First thing in the morning was Cataract Creek Falls. Shortly thereafter the trail went through a meadow until it passes Camp Hale bunker ruins. At 9300' Camp Hale was a military, winter training camp during WWII. I bet it was cold and snowy!
After crossing East Fork Eagle River, the trail reentered the woods. I took a short break at the James Miller Memorial Bench where I contemplated going into Leadville earlier than planned. There are 3 easy access points to Leadville from the Colorado Trail. I was planning to catch a hitch at the end of Segment 8 via Tennessee Pass off of US24. The trail crosses US24 several miles before Tennessee Pass and that is where I decided to go in.
I caught a ride fairly quickly and made it to the Leadville Hostel where my car was parked. I was done hiking but I wasn't done hiking. Less than 35 miles of hiking for this year. Well those were backpacking miles. After getting off the trail I hung around Leadville for a few days. I day hiked the rest of Segment 8 and a portion of Segment 9. I climbed Mount Elbert (start very early to avoid crowds and possible thunderstorms).
So even though I didn't hike as far as I had planned I still had a good time exploring around Leadville.

E' una armatura lorica segmentata.
E' in cuoio di 2,5 mm bollito e messo in piega. E' rigida, questo vuol dire che sfilandola e appoggiandola a terra mantiene la sua forma. Caratteristica di questo tipo di armature è l'eccezionale mobilità che consente. Le braccia possono alzarsi sopra la testa e il tronco si piega senza problemi.
E' costituita da corpetto, spallacci, maschera e gambali di cuoio rigido, più bracciali, e striscie di pelle rossa.
Ogni segmento è stato inciso asportando dei ricccioli di cuoio, colorato a mano e decorato nelle incisioni. Gli spallacci hanno un disegno più articolato decorato in oro anzichè in bordeaux.
Le code sono in pelle con applicazioni di cuoio rigido, la maschera è cuoio piegato su misura per garantire la massima comodità e le chiusure sono tutte dotate di doppi anelli, così da regolare le chiusure.
I bracciali hanno tre striscie di pelle e anelli con cui si chiudono. Essendo morbidi non fanno male alla piega del polso.
I gambali terminano con un elastico che passa sotto la suola, così da evitare che si alzino, mantenendoli in posizione.
This is the beginning of the Great Wall of Los Angeles. This segment was designed by Kristi Lucas. The mural is located on the wall of the Tujunga Wash drainage canal on Coldwater Canyon Ave. between Burbank Blvd. and Oxnard St.

LA RICOSTRUZIONE SISTEMATICA: Perseverando diabolicamente si vennero perdendo."diabolice amissa erant autem perseverantes”. Cinquantadue segmenti e ragioni per le quali ormai è tutto emerso oltre ogni possibile dubbio. CSM contra CSM. Quando le pentole senza coperchio colano anche da una infinità di fori che si moltiplicano senza sosta.[ ift.tt/2sYNDXU ift.tt/2s0sL5f ] La fedele ricostruzione del complesso delle vicende che concernono l'ex magistrato Paolo Ferraro, in attesa di discussione nel merito il ricorso al Consiglio di Stato, viene argomentata a partire dai profili personali ma con riferimento ed attenzione a tutte le iniziative a 360 gradi adottate per tentare di distruggerlo su tutti i piani ed al basamento reale e di prove circa quanto ha scoperto. E' la coordinata gestione dei piani e protocolli che opera in casi siffatti e ha operato nel CASO PAOLO FERRARO. Paolo Ferraro ha osato far valere la verità e scoperchiato il vaso di Pandora, ricostruendo poi fatti e dinamiche, sulla sua pelle e per il bene comune: ora viene dimostrato per l'ennesima ultima volta l'arcano di pseudo apparati segreti meschini e del tutto concreti che vedono operare un ristretto manipolo di personaggi che usano poi il frammento del potere istituzionale/criminale di cui godono (altro che alchimie balzane!). Il tutto viene esposto passo dopo passo, con logica e prove dirette (audio registrazioni e video audio di conversazioni tra presenti, conversazioni telefoniche e intercettazioni ambientali e documentazioni). Come al solito la banca dati degli allegati documenti digitali vari integra la lettura, e non sono resi consultabili solo i documenti che possono ledere privacy quando anche di colore vivido (foto immagini e video in realtà sottratti da tempo alla consultazione pubblica, il resto tutto già messo a disposizione pubblica da sei anni fa ad oggi). Buon vaglio lettura, ascolto, analisi e approfondimento guidato. La grandediscovery si arresterà solo con la soluzione del CASO, che è ormai a portata di mano delle istituzioni sane. Ringraziamo i tanti che approfondiscono vagliano e scrivono e li richiamiamo ad una dettagliata e completa riflessione. Qualsiasi frammentazione e parzializzazione della informazione in rete, verrà redarguita. Non è più ammissibile. Questo articolo può essere riprodotto testualmente e diffuso da chiunque.
A selection of photos put together in a grid. These were taken as part of a project exploring the body. I focused on its differences and simalarities-for example finding scars, blemishes and different muscles/bone structures in a range of individuals.
Segment 3 is almost 13 miles long. I hiked most of it the day before. There really isn't anything special about segment 3 but it was fairly easy hiking. I was up and moving before 0800. It was cloudy and 56f and segment 4 was just around the corner.
Rolling Creek Trailhead is off of Wellington Lake Rd, a dirt, forest service road. There is a small parking area here. This is also the access to the town of Bailey about 8 miles away. A resupply option for those hiking the Colorado Trail. I was glad that I opted to go to Buffalo Creek instead of Bailey. There were 2 vehicles at the trailhead but the road did not appear to be busy at all. Might've been a long wait.
Within 2 miles is Lost Creek Wilderness. No bikes are allowed in Wilderness Areas so I thought that this would be the most spectacular part of the trail yet. It wasn't. It actually reminded me of the Appalachian Trail. It was through the woods with lots of rocks, roots, blowdowns and stepovers. I wasn't sure if a bike could even make it through. To me it was the most difficult part of the trail to this point. There were also some steep, rocky dirt road walks as well.
6 miles to get through the Wilderness and after about 5 miles made it over 10,000 ft for the first time. A very large meadow was next up. Even though it started to rain, hiking through the meadow was nice. Decent camping possibilities in the rain were few but I was on the lookout. If it hadn't been raining there were probably plenty of good sites, but the rain changes perspective. Finally settled on a spot on the edge of the meadow. Once the rain stopped, the mosquitoes came out in full force.

Gabbro Falls is segmented into 3 distinct falls, with the final one ending in a pool that is roughly 30-40 inches deep. On the day that I visited the falls, it was rainy, overcast and the rocks were slick.
The only way to see the falls is to wade across the stream, which was probably not my best choice that day. But, I carried my Sony with an umbrella and walked through the river to reach this spot. Then I propped my camera on my knee (which itself was propped on a rock) and took a few 1/3rd second photos.
I like the resulting photo, but I'm not sure that I would take that risk again...

Segment 1. Waterton Canyon is the Denver terminus for The Colorado Trail. The trailhead, parking and 6-mile canyon are administered by Denver Water and open to hike, bike and horse. It is, however, closed to dogs in order to preserve the wildlife habitat. Though you travel a wide gravel road, it's alongside the South Platte River where wildlife is abundant and often seen. The road is closed to public vehicles, but open to administrative vehicles, of which there are normally few. Many users enjoy this section of the CT and it serves as a good warm-up. (1)
**I was scoping out the trailhead before beginning my section hike on 8/8/15. After this I drove to Breckenridge. I had made arrangements to park my car at The Bivvi while I hiked. Unfortunately, I did not reserve a space to sleep, so I was unable to stay the night. No tenting available. If planning to stay at The Bivvi, suggest to make a reservation. Hikers are not the only clientele and since Breckenridge can be busy, the hostel may be full upon arrival.
