It's amazing that no matter how old WE get, or how we relate to others, older or younger, OUR Siblings, are always defined as...... "MY older,younger, little, big. (and to often respect of wisdom 7 Knowledge, given, is also based on this.) My Nephew asked Why I call my LITTLE, OR BABY brother of 6ft. 7inchs these titles. He just said, "I just learned to live with it, It's NEVER gonna change. I'm only 6ft and 1/4 inchs. (1/4inch?? competing with 6, 7" I took claim what I can. LOL) PS. He has a GROWING bold spot, I have a FULL set of hair. Maybe shortness has it's benifits?? --- On Sat, 12/22/12, eddie wrote: From: eddie Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: Air pressure/altitude To: "KLR650 list" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> Date: Saturday, December 22, 2012, 2:44 PM In the late 70's, my oldest brother took his wife on a road trip vacation from here in Columbus, Ga. to Colorado. They'd purchased picnic supplies before leaving. In CO for a picnic, they stopped to eat in the car. Beth reached for the mustard and before my brother could say "Wait!", she untwisted the top. Whoosh! He had a heck of a time cleaning mustard out of his car's headliner. -eddie ----- Original Message ----- From: mark ward To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com ; revmaaatin Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2012 8:22 AM Subject: [Bulk] Re: [DSN_KLR650] Re: Air pressure/altitude Simple thought would be, If a gas is trying to EXPAND, But is restricted, woulded the pressue be differant,...greater?

This time of year? Flagstaff is definitely cold, and it snows. I-40 is cold from AZ and all points east. I-10 route and surrounding areas - much warmer.

Flagstaff has an elevation at about 7000 feet and is the same as Sante Fe NM so that would make snow pretty likely in winter. Arizona's highest peak is just north of there and has a ski area. Sante Fe has a ski area also just out of town. Clines Corner NM gets pretty snowy on I-40 at times also. It's elevation is about the same. We have had to get a room in Tucumcari NM in April because the I-40 was closed from there to Moriarty NM because of a snow storm. Taos is the best skiing in the southwest. You have to pay attention to the weather or you might get caught in a storm in that area (speaking from experience). Elevation is everything in the desert states. I have been snowed on at about the first of June on my KLR going from Moab south to Monticello Utah. Criswell Sent from my iPad

Do a search on the Butterfield Stage Coach route. It was the first all weather transcontinental stage, and there's a very good reason it ran where it did. Lowest passes and warmest winter weather. That would be a much better choice for a winter crossing of the southwest. The other posters are correct, a few days ago I-40 was closed for miles around Flagstaff. That is routine in the winter. Even without snow, temps in Flag are often down around zero at night and barely get above freezing in the day if there is a cold weather system in the area. Right now, noon today, Flagstaff is at 34 degrees. I live in Eloy, near the I-8/I-10 intersection at 1300 feet above sea level, and it rarely goes below freezing at night. At noon right now it is 68 in the shade. Bryan
