So, did you send Dirt Mom out. . . . or did you steal her ride? :D
None of the above. It was in the 30s when I left and DM just doesn't have any interest riding when it's that cold. Plus:
1) still trying to get miles on it to get the service done before ride season
2) just changed out her crash bars and made major change to her auto oiler, so a maintenance test run was needed before I'll let her back on the bike.
3) didn't leave until 2:00 so only a few hours of daylight left. Way too frustrating to take out the KTM for just a teaser ride.

New tag. Camp ground. I'll discuss more after the ride.
So Oak Flat was/is part of the Tonto NF. It sits on top of a massive copper deposit. A subsidiary of Rio Tinto and BHPBilliton (the two biggest metal mining companies in the world, by annual revenue and market capitalization) is proposing to mine copper ore deep underneath Oak Flat.
They facilitated a land swap for the National Forest Land. The underground mine would eventually collapse and form a 2mi wide crater. Native Americans view the area as sacred and were fighting in court. They recently lost their case in court, but just this week, the swap was put on hold pending further review.
This would be the largest source of copper in the country, but the devistation to the area would be unbelievable. This is a close by climbing area that may also collapse. Nearby Superior is fighting for the mine, as it would represent 3000+ jobs.

Sounds like a parking meter would qualify too. You pay and it displays.
