Payson

new to Arizona, but I do like the hiking and, you know, an hour and a half away.

I mean, my kid, Payson, because of the city, Payson.

Payson? Wow, you really committed to the area.

I know.

I did.

I'm Payson McKelvin, and this is the With Pace Podcast.

I realize so much about what I love about riding through pregnancy and now postpartum.

It brings me mental clarity and makes me feel like who I am.

I'll just wrap up this intro by saying this is coming to me right now.

If you've been a longtime listener... or a recent listener and you have a favorite episode whether it's from this year or way back in 2019 write us a little email at howdy at withpace.cc and we'll read a few of those emails in the next episode to kind of celebrate this milestone thanks for everything catch you after the show hi sarah

Hi, Payson.

You're a mom.

It's so crazy.

I need to say thank you very much to Principled Enigma, who says, just making a suggestion request to join me in boycotting Chevron.

Their price of 91 octane is more than a dollar more than any other station in Payson, Arizona.

Price gouging is happening.

I cannot tell you at any point in history that I've ever been to a Chevron location.

He profiled the trails he explored on his website with pictures and descriptions www.gpsjoe.net, which is now sadly defunct.

His car was found at the Mount Pelee Trailhead, northeast of Phoenix and close to Payson.

Friends said Joe was interested in finding an off-trail route to summit Sheep Mountain on the Mazatzl Divide TR23.

He had attempted to climb the rugged north-south ridgeline that runs up and down to the summit of Sheep Mountain at 6,996 feet three times before since the late autumn of 2009.

Did, did any kids go to public school?

So there was one year where the school was being remodeled, the Shelby School, and they sent all of us to Payson, which is interesting 'cause as, if you talk to people from Payson, Arizona, a lot of them remember that.

It was like this massive group of like cult kids that like took over Julia Randall in Payson, Arizona.

We were all like in the second and third grade because my generation of kids, we were like the first big group of kids that were born into the collective.

Mm-hmm.

I lived in the valley.

We called it the valley and the village.

The village is northern Arizona, just outside of Payson, Arizona.

Arizona DMV, we need to do better.

Oh, no, I, I got it in Payson, so-

[laughs]

[laughs] So that...

But as Taylor Griffith reports, the town of Queen Creek has gone in a different direction.

Last week, Cottonwood and Payson joined nine other communities in the state in cutting ties with the company Flock over privacy concerns.

Queen Creek is taking a different route.

Flock cameras there will remain in use, but town officials say they are the first community in Arizona to make officer misuse of the technology illegal.

I'm already in process of doing that, acclimating as much as I can beforehand.

We have Flagstaff and Payson up here in Arizona.

So both those are at 7,000 feet.

I believe Salt Lake City is at 4,500 feet.

We have built bike parks right now in five schools, including the last one.

The newest one was Payson, and we just broke ground in Colorado City, Arizona.

Oh, my gosh.

Where they had no program before us, and we started the program there, and they're going to have their own bike park.
