2014...This is the End!!!




It's New Year's Eve...


...the end of a grand year....and the end of our "Grand Adventure" in 
Mammoth Lakes, CA.

Yesterday was TheChief's last day as Chief of Mammoth Lakes...
 in a week we celebrate his time as Chief with members of his department,
the town, friends, and family...
...and then, we will make our final move south.

It truly has been a "Grand Adventure"!
 The Town of Mammoth Lakes is indeed, a very special place....
and will always have a very special place in our hearts.

We love you Mammoth Lakes and will miss you greatly!!!

(Oh...and by the way...TheChief will still be TheChief,
and I will still be TheChieftess...
some things don't have to change!!!)

Hope you all have a beautiful and Happy New Year!!!



PS...

TheChief was especially good to me this year on my birthday...
he heard my complaints about how heavy my big Nikon was while traveling...
  and couldn't miss my hints of what I wanted...
so today's photo is the first posting of a pic taken with my new
Fuji XT1, with 18-135mm interchangeable lens!!!
It's mirrorless, and feels feather weight compared to my giant Nikon!!!
I haven't quite figured it out yet...but I'm working on it!!!
  
Here are a couple more pics...





So what do you think???

It's Not Long Now...





Mammoth Lakes Mayor Jo Bacon presented 'TheChief'
...aka...Mammoth Lakes Police Chief, Dan Watson...
with a commemorative plaque for his 4 1/2 years of service to Mammoth Lakes...

On December 30th, TheChief will turn over the reins to Chief Al Davis,
formerly a Commander in the Ventura Police Department.

...and on to a new chapter in life!!!

(That's Councilman Shields Richardson in the background 
giving TheChief the thumbs up!!!)
