Riding Into The Wind

When Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper took to

the open road in “Easy Rider” – circa 1969, Harley’s

were a symbol of what it meant to be young, male

and counter-culture.

Even up to 1987, half of all Harley riders were men, under the age of 35. Today, you’re likely

to find women, and established baby boomers, with a median age of 47 who own homes and

401Ks. Things which are decidedly not counter-culture. In fact, the entire

industry is going mainstream according to the Motorcycle Industry

Council Owner Survey just released in 2009. The survey shows

there are over 10 million Americans who now

own a motorcycle. That’s greater than

the entire population of New York City.

All on two wheels.

Motorcycling has gone main stream.

Beverly LeResche, co-owner of Superstition

Harley-Davidson, in Apache Junction has

been in the industry for over thirty five years

and seen the changes. She started out in

’73 with her late husband, Jerry opening a

small dealership in Wisconsin. At the time

she didn’t ride.

It’s a fact that Arizona Summers are

sizzling hot and, as a rule, most sane

people will spend the next six months in a

mall or on their couch in air-conditioned

comfort in front of their Big Screen.

Not Bikers. Bikers are always

breaking the rules.

Few things in life will keep one from

riding. They’re like those mail carriers

who brag: Neither snow nor rain nor heat

nor gloom of night stay us from the swift

completion of our appointed rounds”

Bikers? They have a different motto.

“Whatever it is, it’s better in the wind.”

So, this summer, long after the

last of the winter visitors have left for

cooler climes, and even lizards have

disappeared under their rocks to get away

from the heat, we’ve designed a Summer

Road Tour for The Children of the Wind.

We call it the Five and Dive and we

hope to heat things up (economically)

this summer while offering you some

cool reasons to ride our roads, meet our

people, drink our beer and have a good

time. We’re offering up specials to help

you save money – while spending money;

good causes to help you add to your

lifetime-karma points ; and clues, riddles

and scavenger hunts to introduce you

to things you never knew you wanted to

know about us...and now you will.

We initially called the tour the Five and

Dime which was a nod to our incredible

array of cheap thrills and lo-cost fun

throughout this region. It also tied in with

our feature on Woolworths. (One of those

things you’ll want to pay attention to

because it is the answer to a clue.)

But then one of our friends suggested

For those of you that are lucky

enough to live in Globe, Miami, Kearny,

Winkelman, Gold Canyon, or Apache

Junction, Boyce Thompson Arboretum

is a mere 30 – 40 minute drive from

your front door. As close as it is, there

is a strong likelihood that some of you

haven’t visited the Arboretum since

you were kids, or if so, not since the

first term of the Reagan administration.

It’s understandable: How can a world-

class destination like Boyce Thompson

Arboretum be reached in the time it

takes to bake a tuna casserole, and yet

stack up to more distant attractions that

require more time, gasoline, and traffic

to get to?

It’s a question best answered by

loading up the kids and the dogs (yes,

you can bring the dogs) and making

the short trip to Boyce Thompson

Arboretum at the base of Picket Post

Mountain, where Queen Creek and Silver

King Wash converge, and where 100

feet tall volcanic cliffs rise above three

miles of trails and 40 unique gardens

and plant exhibits. This is the

spectacular geologic location

where multimillionaire

investor Colonel William

Boyce Thompson was

perceptive enough

to create “the most

beautiful garden

of its kind in the

world” nearly 90

years ago. The 323

acres of gardens

and natural areas

contain over 12,000

plants from across

the arid land regions

of the planet, with

the largest collections

from Australia, South

America, and the Sonoran

and Chihuahuan Deserts of

North America.

Most of the of the tallest,

broadest, and most mature

trees, shrubs, cacti and

other succulents were

planted during the

1920’s, 30’s and 40’s and

they continue to have

a dominant presence

throughout the

many exhibits at the

Arboretum. But in

the last 25 years, a

true resurgence and

refocus of purpose

has taken place, and

if it’s been a while

since you’ve visited,

now’s the time to

find out what you’re

missing.

Crossing Queen

Creek or Silver King Wash

used to be challenging or

impossible during heavy rain

events, but with the construction of the

Benson Outback Bridge across Silver

King Wash and the 130 feet long Berber

Suspension Bridge over Queen Creek,

the only chance of getting wet is from

the rain above, not the water below. The

eight-acre Australian Desert Exhibit was

completely redesigned in the early 1990’s

and now includes eight defined plant

communities from the arid outback

with authentically replicated Aussie

buildings, an Aboriginal ceremonial

area, and an ethno-botanical garden.

New this year is the completion of

Papuana Pass and the Bottle Tree Grove.

Easily seen from the highway is a

thatched-roof, shade structure known

as a “quincho.” It’s constructed from

materials imported from Argentina and

is thought to be the only one of its kind

in the U.S. It forms the entrance to the

newly enhanced South American Desert

Exhibit where more than a dozen, large

Argentine saguaros and other large

cacti were planted last summer. These

fetching, columnar cacti contribute

their bulk and character to the other 700

I met her husband first, in the summer of 1964.

We had just moved into a new subdivision – ‘Portrait

Park’ – and it promised clean suburban living, far from

the more interesting grime and crime of the City.

He was very tall and so slim he looked, to this nine

year old, as though he could turn and vanish. The

sunlight bounced from his shoulders and obscured his

face, the pale green snap brim hat a beacon to search

for every evening at five-thirty. That was the time we’d

meet, as he passed my house. “Ready for our evening

constitutional?” he’d ask. I’d nod and fall into step

beside him. He never felt a need to hold my hand,

even when we crossed the street, and I appreciated

that. After that first early evening stroll, I expected a

test at its conclusion, worried because we hadn’t yet

studied the Constitution in school. He laughed when

I told him that, and I didn’t know why.

When he died in the spring of the following year

I felt lost. The air had begun to warm and I missed

our neighborhood walks. It had been a time to count

on- something solid and true for me, a child who had

parents with other concerns.

Mrs. Merritt called my Mother one morning and

asked if she could spare me for an hour. Since Bob

died, she needed help in the basement. When I

walked the two blocks, alone now, she opened the

front door and smiled.

“I guess it’s just us now, Kiddo.” She motioned me to

follow her into the kitchen, where she poured a bottle

of Coca-Cola (forbidden in our house) into a glass

and toasted me. “You are now officially the Man in My

Life. Drink up!” She looked me up and down. “I’d pour

something stronger, but you’re what- nine?”

I nodded and asked, “Well, how old are you?”

“Fifty-two.”

“Is that old?”

“Ancient. You’ll find out, someday.” She rinsed

the glasses and took me downstairs. “Honey, I

need some help, and I’ll pay you for your time. My

husband was a collector. I guess I am too, but this

room is so packed, I can’t turn around in it.” After the

agreed upon sum of one dollar an hour, we opened

boxes and sorted. It was a big job.

A box of postcards from the thirties, mostly from

tropical locations, feathery palms and tight messages,

stamps fluttering from age. Magazines from the War

years, the ads noticeably sober due to rationing. He’d

packed away penknives and matchbooks and old

keys; hand painted neckties and something called

‘suspenders’ (‘Kept his trousers up and his manhood

*A special note of thanks to Steve and Tracy Quick

of The Huddle Sports Bar, and The Independent

Riders who agreed to get up at 5am for a photoshoot,

so I could have some images to use for this issue. Yes,

five in the morning. Afterwards they invited me to

ride out to Roosevelt Lakes Resort for breakfast.

It was my first Harley ride (and definitely not last)

and another of those “moments.” Sitting on the

back of Stan’s bike and feeling the wind, smelling

the morning air, riding in the company of friends – I knew why 10 million

Americans own bikes. And I thought to myself, how lucky I was to have happened upon

this morning. I had almost written about something I’d never experienced. Now, I get it.

Serendipity strikes again.

PS: The official TOUR postcard is a photo of the Independent Riders in front of the

Center for the Arts at 5:30 in the morning. You gotta appreciate the logistics of that one.

To live for some future goal is shallow.

It's the sides of the mountain that sustain

life, not the top. – Robert M. Pirsig

This Spring as I was taking a webinar

on Social Media, and in one of the

sessions the speaker suggested we

check out the work of several bloggers.

At the time I was also beginning to pull

together this Summer issue and my

own time was limited. I had blown off

several other suggestions, choosing to

wait until after I got this paper to press to

leisurely follow up on all these suggested

side-roads of greater enlightenment.

And yet, this time I did. The first

piece I read, while mildly interesting,

mentioned another blogger who was

writing about rural tourism. It’s a

subject which speaks to me, and so

I went further down the rabbit hole.

That’s when I discovered Joanne Steele

and her piece about bikers and why they

are a good match for those communities

who live on the outer reaches of big

cities and six-lane highways.

And that, my dear readers, was the

serendipitous moment which changed

the course of this issue, and launched

the Five and Dive Summer Tour.

Here’s the thing about serendipity

though, which means: “the making

of fortunate discoveries by accident.”

Serendipity, by definition, requires

us to break out of our own agreed

upon course. Our way of thinking. Our

‘known universe of the way things work’

and to accept something new. That’s

why it’s a discovery.

The accident happens when we

let our routine lives actually be cracked

by one of these moments. We follow

the lead. We allow the possibility. And

the result is like a fresh breeze in a

static room.

It’s that Aha Moment which makes

us smile...and often change course. Just

ask Pete Page about that one.

The idea of following the back roads

of mainstream is tailor-made for those

on two wheels. As Pirsig, and others

have said of the journey, “you see things

from a bike and experience life in a

completely different way than in a car.”

Our cars enclose us in a cocoon of

comfort. Allowing us to program the

temperature around us, and plug in our

destination on a GPS. While life whizzes

by at 70 mph on our way to get where

we are going – we miss out on those

serendipitous moments.

It is the exact opposite of experiencing

the journey on a bike.

For when you are on a machine

built more for discovery – than

destination – anything can happen.

That is why this issue is dedicated to

those on two-wheels.

See you this summer, in all the

right places.

Cheers,

in, Honey.’). Snapshots

too, but not many – old

black and whites with

scalloped corners. “You

can take anything you’d

like, Sweetheart,” she

said, looking somewhat

stunned and a little tired.

“He’d want you to have

something of his.”

“Can I have his

hat?” I asked, thinking

of the snap-brim in

the sunlight.

She frowned. “No,

not that. But anything

else, sure.”

I didn’t take anything.

Mrs. Merritt called

the next day, slightly

breathless. It may’ve

been the Viceroys.

“Honey, you want

to come with me to

an Estate Sale?” She

explained, “It’s where

they sell dead people’s

stuff. This time we don’t

know the guy. Loads

of fun. I’ll pick you up

in twenty.” My Mom

looked confused, but

consented. The only

things that ever came

into our house were

brand new. A childhood

during the Depression

did that to her.

We pulled up to

an immense house

in Lake Forest, one

of the tony suburbs

north of Chicago.

Italianate,1920’s, with

tennis courts and a

swimming pool in the

back. It even had a porte-

cochere and a butler’s

pantry. In one of the

nine bedrooms, we

opened a closet and

found leather luggage,

plastered with 1930’s

travel stickers (the

snappy European

ones), fur coats with big

shoulders, and scores of

vintage hats. The hats

were covered in veils and

gemstones and a few

looked like they could

fly. She shrieked.

“Omigod! These people

just walked out of

the house and left

everything!” It definitely

seemed that way. A

bottle of milk still sat in

the refrigerator, I know,

because I checked.

Mrs. Merritt pointed

a few things out. “That’s

a Victrola, Hon. You see

those old records? They

weigh a ton. Funny

music, but back in the

day… my folks used

to have parties. Back

then, you cranked up

the turntable and then

rolled up the rug so you

could dance.”

We found boxes of

sheet music (“Oh! Fred

Astaire and Ginger

Rogers! I loved Top

Hat!”) and fussy lamps

with lace shades. A giant

marble nude stood to

the right of the curved

staircase. I giggled.

It was marked ‘Not

For Sale’. Mrs. Merritt

sniffed, “It looks like a

bad reproduction, but it

probably cost a mint.” I

giggled again, because I

didn’t understand what

she meant. “Honey, this

place is over the top. Let’s

cash out and take off.”

Between us we’d

dropped fifteen dollars.

We loaded six boxes into

her Chrysler.

I still have the ‘Top

Hat’ sheet music.

In 1990, in a fit of-

what would you call

it, nostalgia? I dialed

Directory Assistance.

There wasn’t a Merritt

listing in our old

neighborhood, but there

was a number for her

daughter further south.

After the recording

and a long beep, I left

a message. It was

never returned.

Mrs. Merritt’s spirit

rides shotgun with me

whenever I visit the shops

of Globe-Miami, and I

can hear her appreciative

murmurs and see her

delight when I find

something especially

endearing- – a wacky

1940’s canister set with

exploding floral designs,

or a way-cool V8 Ford

hubcap with original,

chipped turquoise paint.

I know she’d approve of

the twenty-eight vintage

telephones (in twenty-

eight vintage colors!)

on a low table in my

living room.

She’d call it a ‘laugh

riot’ and light up

a Viceroy.

The views may be inspiring, but

that is largely where the romance

ends with the job.

As fire season approaches, the

seasonal job of a Fire Tower watcher

begins in Arizona. Here in the state

there are 102 towers scattered

through the forests with seven

of them located on the Tonto.

The pay is around $11 and

hour and includes your

‘lodging’, which typically

consists of a 14’ x 14’

utilitarian box, ringed by

windows and sitting on

top of a tower pedestal

that ranges from 30’ to 75’

in the air.

The birds eye view from these

towers is the stuff of poetry. But getting

up close and personal with nature when it

comes to thunder storms can also be just a

tad unsettling.

In a ’95 interview the US National Park

Service, Roy Lemons talked about the year

he spent manning the Signal Hill Tower on

the South Rim in 1937. Lemons describes

a storm which came in with a vengeance,

bringing with it lots of lightening. He had

gone down to the bottom of the tower to

wait out the storm, but knowing that the

lightening was probably causing small

fires he went back up to take a look.

What he saw changed his mind

about lightening.

A big bolt struck close to the tower.

“It looked like the size of a highway”, he

said,”Red and pulsating. It hit the ground.

Must have lasted just a second or two. It

scared the daylights out of me. I stayed

down there in my car till it was over.”

In his season of fire watching he saw

‘tremendous lighting storms on the North

Rim” and echoed the sentiments of other

Fire Tower operators before and after him

when he said, “I never had any fear of

lightening. But I do now.”

Most Fire Towers have a stool in them

which sits on glass insulators. When the big

lightening storms come in close, operators

will sit or stand on that stool with their

arms tucked in close to their body. It’s just

another day on the job.

You might wonder why anyone would

want to spend their life this way; living 30

ft or more in the air, where the bathroom is

at the bottom of the tower and your bed is

at the top. Where your little man/woman-

GLOBEMIAMITIMES PAGE 7

cave can be rocked by wind, lit up by

lightening and overall give one cause to

question any previously held romantic

notion of living a life of serenity

in nature.

Still, people sign on every year to take

the job. One woman wrote, “I just wanted

to see if I could live with myself.” And

the famous author/environmentalist,

Edward Abbey once worked a season as

a lookout in the 1950s where his journal

entries became the basis for the classic,

Desert Solitaire. “For the first time, I felt

I was getting close to the West of my

deepest imaginings, the place where the

tangible and the mythic come together.”

So if you’re looking for a job this

summer. Look up. You may just discover

your future.

The seven towers located on the

Tonto include:

• Humbolt Tower, built in 1958. Sits atop

Humbolt Mountain at an elevation

of 7812. It includes a 14’ x 14’ living

structure – albeit no running water

or electricity. Still, it is considered a

live-in structure.

• Signal Peak Tower built in 1934 is one

of the older units and also the highest -

sitting at an elevation of 5204. It offers

only a utilitarian 7’ x 7’ observation

deck and residents live in a small cabin

at the base of the tower.

• Mt. Ord Tower built in 1983 is the tallest

on the forest at over 100’ in the air. And

the newest. It too includes a 14’ x 14’

structure for resident spotters.

• Diamond Point Tower, built in

1936 has the dubious distinction of

attracting the most lightining hits,

presumeably because of it’s proximity

to the Rim. Luckily there is a small

observation deck which prevents a live

body from living in the tower.

• Aztec Tower built in 1956 is 41’ high

and has the distinction of getting the

most visitors every year. Located near

Workman Creek Falls, it is more easily

accessible than many of the others. It

too has a 14’ x 14’ living structure for a

resident spotter.

• McFadden Tower built in 1964 is the

shortest tower on the forest at only

20’ high.

• Colcord Tower built in 1960 sits near

Parallel Canyon and also contains a

livable 14’ x 14’ structure.

The Road From England To Arizona - Pete’s Story

Walk through the doors of

Livingston’s Appliance in downtown

Globe and you’ll find the walls lined

with new washers and dryers in the

front. In the back, you’ll discover a shop

that can only be described as “managed

chaos” where a tall, lanky guy with

strong hands and a quiet demeanor

is busy working his repair magic on a

variety of sewing machines, vacuum

cleaners, and washers. But, if you take

a closer look you’ll see a framed and

fading portrait of a motorcyclist on a

GSX-R Suzuki taking a corner low to the

pavement, a calendar showing famous

road races in Europe, motorcycle ‘kitch’

and and enough dog eared photos of

Suzukis, Hondas, Triumps, Harley’s and

the like tacked up to the wall so as to

dominate one whole section.

Pete Page, who owns Livingstons

is known by most around here as the

“appliance guy., A few, it seems know

him as ‘British Pete’, and fewer still -

those who ride bikes themselves- know

that before Pete focused all his attention

on appliance repair as being a duly

respectable, steady form of income, he

actually spent quite a bit of time racing

motorcycles in England and touring

this country from the back of a BMW.

Originally from Southhampton,

England, Pete says he got his first bike

in 1961. The country was still feeling

the effects of WWII – even then –

and more people rode bikes and

motorcycles with little side cars as he

was growing up than owned cars. When

he was 16 he worked a paper route to

make money for his first motorcycle.

It was a 50 cc moped and although it’s

top speed was only 30 mph, it provided

his first taste of freedom which came

with owning his own set of wheels. The

racing would come later.

In a career which spans over 30 years, Pete has put more hours on a bike than most and covered two continents, 42 states and wore out just a few bikes.

He started racing side cars

in 1975 when he was in his late

twenties. These were stripped

down motorcycles with

sidecars resembling a “perch”

more than an actual “side

car.” Using farmers fields

where the crops were being

rotated and the fields left to

rest - both farmers and racers

picked up a bit of cash by

turning these fields into race

tracks. Entry fees were about

$25 and winnings never exceeded

$100. The bikes were raced by teams of

riders. The “jockey’ balanced behind

the driver and would fling his body

to the left and right – much like

sailing – to keeping the

rear tire on the track as

the bike would take

turns the turns at

high speed.

“I used to race

with a friend of mine

who would race solo,

and then pop over and

“jockey” for me.” Pete

said. “We were at this

race one time and

had just taken a

practice run.

My friend hopped off the bike and threw down his helmet declaring, “I’m not racing with you anymore. You frighten me to death!”

So Pete got on the PA and announced

that #26 needed a jockey. Three guys

showed up and he picked a kid ten

years his junior. Although Jim had only

jockeyed a couple times before this he

was a quick study and the team was a

formidable competitor on the track.

They made it to the National

Championships one year, and while

it took being good to get there, it took

being very good to place. Pete says in

the first race, they were sitting on the

starting line with the National Champ

on their left and the local Champ on

their right. When the starter went off,

the riders blasted off the starting line,

and within the first turn Pete said they

were running fourth.

In a tough sport where taking

calculated chances at high speeds

define success, it is inevitable that

wrecks will happen. But sometimes

that wreck you walk away from makes

you look at things differently - and say

“enough.” For Pete, it was that day on

the track when he and Jim were going

hard at it, and another rider tried to pass

them on the inside. The rider clipped

them and the force knocked Jim off

the back.

“But I didn’t know he got knocked

off,” Pete says, “so I headed into the

turn and there is no one holding the

back wheel down...and over I went.”

He flipped so hard, his helmut came

off and his nose ended up on the

right side of his face. It took a

surgical team to patch him up

and he feels lucky to this day

that it was only his nose which

took the brunt of what could

have been much worse.

That wreck marked the

ending of one era and the

beginning of another.

No more dirt tracks.

The next bike he purchased

was a Suzuki GSX-R.

”That was the bike to

have, “ Pete says. “You could squeeze

150 on that bike,” he says. "Of course

nowdays riders are doing 200.”

He says the day he was cornering his Suzuki going about 140 in a race, and laying it down so low to the ground that everything was scraping pavement...and a kid passed him on the outside and turned to give him alittle wave of the hand as he sped past, Pete had to admit it might be time to retire from racin’.

Pete, turns to point at the Calendar

photograph of the famous Isle of Man

race. “Back in those days,” he says, “it

was nothing to still be racing at 40 or

45. Nowdays it’s sixteen year olds...and

they’re winning!”

He goes on to explain the Isle

of Man – consists of six 37 3/4

mile loops. In 1958, a Scotsman,

Bob McIntyre became the first

rider to ever lap the Mountain

circuit at 100 mph. It would take

nearly 50 years to bump that

record up by 26 mph. Today’s

record stands at 126 mph. Pete

can only smile.

In 1992, just before his 50th

birthday, Pete and his friend Allen

decided to do a cross country tour of

the US. For two British boys this was

venturing into alien – but awesome

landscape. In England you’d end up in the ocean if you rode more than 200 miles in any direction. The idea of

riding thousands of miles of blacktop

and never running out of road was

a strange kind of wonderful. Pete

wrote to fourteen BMW dealerships

and told them what they wanted to

do. Only one wrote back, he said. A

dealership in Orlando Florida, said

they had one such BMW on the floor

and would have to order the other one,

and would they send an international

money order. No problem, Pete said.

The two left for the states three

months later, flying into Orlando

where they found two brand new

BMWs awaiting their arrival. They did

42 states in six months from Alaska to

Mexico and everything in between.

“It was great. People were friendly

everywhere we went. They’d hear the

accent, you know and want to talk.”.

They had barely arrived back in

England with bikes in tow before they

started planning a second trip. They

had met another rider while on the

first tour of the US, who talked about

his journey from Fairbanks Alaska to

Tierra del Fuego a small Argentinean

province. That sounded like just

the ticket for their next big adventure

and within a year, they were landing

back in Orlando for their “South

American Trip.”

Heading west put them in the path

of Globe, Arizona, where they pulled

over for a bite to eat at Peg’s Cafe –

now Joe’s Broadstreet Grill.

When they came out to get on their bikes, a note stuck to the windshield read, “If you’re a biker, come see

me. – Jim “They met up with a short,

broad, bushy bearded man

who rode up on this little

500 Honda to Peg’s. It was

Jim Whitstruck, who had moved

to Globe several years earlier.

He had been staff photographer

to President Truman and while

the exact details of how he

went from that to living over

a motorcycle shop in Globe,

Arizona may be lost to history,

much about Jim’s eclectic passion for

motorcycles and his photographic

memory sticks in Pete’s mind. Jim took

them to his shop just down the street

from Pegs. Inside there was an array

of “very unusual bikes, “a museum of

sorts,” says Pete. Jim lived upstairs and

rented the back for a

motorcycle shop. “He

had alot of knowledge

up here,” Pete says

“but Jim wasn’t as good

with his hands. He

needed a guy who could

make all those unusual

bikes run. And that

was Pete.

So, the Great South

American Road Trip

ended at Globe that fateful day

when Jim offered Pete a job and his

friend decided the Great Road Trip

would not be so great going solo, and

returned to England.

Pete worked for Jim nearly three

years without a contract or salary –

or really any wage. “If we sold a bike,

we’d split it 50/50 Pete says. The

business was called Moto Veloce- Fast

Motorcycles, and they were known

for just that. In 1995, Jim passed

away unexpectedly and Pete found

himself running the shop himself.

By then he was also doing all the

repairs for the appliance business

which the landlord operated in the

front of the building. Pete says he just

couldn’t do both, and decided the

appliance business was more reliable

than the bikes, and he closed out

the business.

Today, he works on smaller, less

complicated machines; washers,

dryers...sewing machines.

Yet, that quote from “Zen and

the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”

which says, “ The test of the machine

is the satisfaction it gives you,” still

holds sway here. Whether your’re

talking about Bikes or Washing

Machines, when they are out of kilter –

Pete can fix them.

As Pirsig says,“ There isn’t any

other test. If the machine produces

tranquility, it’s right. If it disturbs you,

it’s wrong until either the machine or

your mind changes.” Pete is the Zen

master of machines.

British Pete Continued

Working on bikes at the back of the shop.

The name meant “fast” and it described the bikes which Jim and Pete represented back in those days. Pete describes Jim’s collection of bikes as “a bit of a museum.”

The Huddle. And aren’t all ideas better

with beer? It’s seemed tailor made

for what we were putting together.

Of course, I now have to pay Gerry

royalties for coming up with the idea.

(You can help me out by stopping

by Pinal Lumber this summer and

picking up a few nails, screws, wood,

paint – whatever you can fit on

the bike.)

So, back to the meaning of the Five

and Dive. Did you know the spiritual

meaning of number Five deals with

travel, adventure and motion?

According to Avia Venefica who

runs the site whats-your-sign.com, five

“draws our attention to the wonder

of life, and beckons us to appreciate

the perception of chaos all around

us. Five has wild vibrations: primitive

and erratic.” There has got to be a FIVE

hidden inside every biker.

Really. Just log on and take a look

at what the number two means for

instance. You’ll see clearly why TWO

does not work here. We could not

have a Two and Dive Tour.

Wouldn’t work.

And Dive? Well, I

don’t have to explain

that right?

So, now that I have

your attention… let me

explain how the Tour works.

It includes a punch card with

over 30 merchants and local

events throughout this region who

invite you to stop in this summer.

They have each come up with a special

promo just for Tour Riders with punch

cards and in exchange for dropping

some cash along the way – remember

this is an economic stimulus plan –

you’ll get your card stamped, a big

welcome from these merchants and a

good reason to ride! OK, maybe more

– but you’ll have to do the Tour to

discover what it is.

As for the clues and the scavenger

hunts, we’re going to give you FIVE

chances each week to solve a clue,

riddle or scavenger hunt which will

require some collective brain power.

Solving these will result in earning

our cool wooden nickels (don’t

believe what your father said

about not taking wooden

nickels.*) worth points

towards raffle tickets. Plus,

as an added bonus, you’ll

discover the inside

jokes, arcane facts

and local lore which

will put you one

step closer to being

“one of us.”

(*Even if you don’t

“tweet”, check out the

hottest Twitter account about Father’s

advice. The account is Sh** My Dad

Says. The author is a 29-year-old,

living with his 74-year-old dad, who

just started tweeting the things he

said. He has now published a book &

been on Larry King. Here is one from

last week: “No. Humans will die out.

OK, back to the Tour.

To begin, you can pick up the Tour

Punch Cards at these locations

beginning June 15th.

• Superstition Harley Davidson –

Apache Junction;

• The Huddle Sports Bar, The Drift Inn,

or 2 Lanes Saloon in Globe;

• The Butcher Hook, or Jakes Corner up

in Tonto Basin.

Tour? Bookmark these pages!

Since GlobeMiamiTimes is

sponsoring this Tour, we have designed

it so you will read the paper, check out

the website and – get to know us better

during the Five and Dive. You’ll discover

answers to clues by looking at the ads

in this summer’s edition, reading the

stories and following the links on our

website. Interesting Mr. Watson. Is

this a plot to corrupt the mind?

You decide.

Now for the pay off. Yes, there will

be prizes and good things given away

to the deserving. But remember what

Robert Pirsig said, in his cult classic,

“Zen and the Art of Motorcycling”

“The only Zen you find on tops of

mountains is the Zen you bring there.”

How did you do?

PAGE 20 GLOBEMIAMITIMES

The first faces to greet you as you walk into Past

Times Antiques are rescue dogs – every one. Toby,

Lucy and Benji were all rescued by Cheryl and Richard

Brazell, just hours before they were to be put down.

The story repeats itself further down, where the owners

of the Drift Inn, already parents to two dogs – and

adamant about not adding a third, found themselves

with a little white fluff of a dog when the animal

control worker placed “Claraclause” in Lisa’s arms just

before Christmas last year and said, please take this

one. It’s her last day.

Here in Globe-Miami, the animal shelter is located

up by the Old Cemetery. It was built by the Humane

Society over 30 years ago and by some accounts

might be considered one of the “most challenged”

facilities in the state. It is small, hardly adequate

for the volume of homeless dogs which find themselves

behind bars because a former owner found them

inconvenient, or a good Samaritan found them

wandering the streets and brought them

in. the facility is tucked away from

public view, making it less

likely that animals are

viewed by the public – and thus adopted- before having

to be euthanized. Last year the Shelter euthanized

nearly 15 dogs/cats a week. This year they are

averaging 12 dogs/cats a month.

The Society has been around since 1965. It began

to deteriorate in the 1990’s but was revived again in

June of 2000 when Shannon Coons took over as

president. Although they began with a new Board

and several volunteers at the time, over the last ten

years the lions share of the work has been done by

Shannon herself and local business owners, Laurie

Manzano and Jon Stahlnecker of the Blue Mule, who

volunteered their building, a lot of their own money

and most of their personal time to take care of,

house and show the cats.

The numbers tell the story. Since 2000, the Shelter

has placed 400 dogs. A majority of the dogs that go

through the Shelter are not that lucky. Dogs which

are brought in by their owners are euthanized almost

immediately. Dogs which are “found” and brought

in are kept for 3 days. It is simply a matter of not

enough funding, staff or volunteers to do otherwise.

The outlook for cats is significantly better thanks

to Laurie and Jon who not only show the cats in their

art studio, but spend hundreds of hours socializing

wild, ferrel kittens, tending to wounds and diseases,

and personalizing their stories in a way that invites

good homes. To date, they have placed over 2,100 cats.

“Those are just the cats we track through the vet,”

Laurie says, “but there have been hundreds of others

over the years which she has fostered putting the

number closer to 3,000.

“The animals we take in just need time and

visibility,” says Laurie. “Then we can do something

with them. That is the challenge up there,” she says,

indicating the dog shelter which sits up at the Old

Cemetary. Out of sight. Out of mind. Most dogs don’t

have a chance. Claraclause, Drifter, Benji, Toby and

Lucy have been among the most fortunate.

This year, the local Humane Society is facing

several changes in the coming year, which could

bode well for the dogs. Maybe. The facility where the

Shelter is now standing is land which the City

would like for the Cemetery. While, there are lots of

moving parts to this equation, overall it

might afford an opportunity to create a

better shelter, with more visibility

in a new location.

In addition, after ten years

of managing the reins of the

group, Shannon Coons will

be stepping down. It’s a job

with its share of burn-out

and still, she and her group

have had several successes to

point to: the Gila Humane Society

helped the community spay

and neuter a few thousand

dogs and cats with money

from Elizabeth Williamson, and local/corporate

donations. In 2004 they began helping those in the

community that really couldn’t get their animals

fixed. And in 2007 they paid the Arizona Humane

Society to bring their van up to spay 198 animals.

If it sounds like all the Humane Society does is

focus on Neutering and Spaying, it might be because

this is the leading cause of pet over population which

creates “throw-away” lives. If they could get one point

across and have it stick, it would be this: If you have an

animal get it fixed. Don’t add to the cruelty.

Laurie, who has seen everything in her ten years

of dealing with this problem says, “...even those who

are feeding wild cats out of the kindness of their

hearts don’t realize they are contributing to the cruelty

and slow death of the street.” Both Blue Mule and

the Society offer to loan out traps. “And a hungry cat

will go in one,” says Laurie.

If you need to get a cat off the street Laurie will do

what she can to help. Just remember – this is not her

“job.” She is just one woman fighting a tidal-wave

of mis-guided and blantant irresponsibility when it

comes to caring for these animals. She is

currently taking care of 40 cats at

the moment.

There is the ten-year-old

gray long-haired female which

Laurie named “Grandma”

who was obviously someones

pet at one time (she was

declawed). Found wondering

on the street with most of

her teeth gone, Dr. Eubanks of

Samaritin Vet Hospital (who has

worked closely with the human

society for years) went ahead of

managed to pull the rest of her

bad teeth- leaving her with her canines. She eats just

fine, Laurie says, and has earned the blue ribbon

award for “Super Friendly.”

Then there is the little grey striped kitten which is

the only one to survive out of a litter of wild kittens. His

mother was caught in a trap and left in 90 degree heat

To The Rescue!

before the owners brought her in

to Laurie. “She was dehydrated

and I put her in the bathtub

to cool her down and gave

her a solution-but it all

just ran out both ends.

She died a few hours

later. “ It was Laurie

who went up to

trap the remaining

kitten and bring

him back to the

Studio. Today, you

pick him up, he purrs, his belly has a

nice soft round feel and he is in good

hands. Soon, he’ll be in a good home.

Asked how she ended up with

all these cats and the keeper of their

futures, she laughs. “ I told people when

I was young, I was going to end up with

a Cat House. And here I am, living in an

old Bordello, surrounded by cats!.”

As a well known artist in the area,

Laurie’s paintings reflect both a

social and environmental theme. Her

artwork has been used to raise funds

for the Humane Society and other local

causes, though she has little time for

painting these days.

She put a sign up several months

ago because she was overwhelmed

with the number of people who

would just drop off bags, baskets and

boxes of kittens and cats. There has

been no “dumping” since she put up

the sign.

The new president of the Humane

Society, Cherly Brazell says one of

her key projects will be to establish

an outreach program to kids to teach

them responsibility toward pets, and

to show the the consequences of

over-population – perhaps by even

letting the older kids visit the shelter.

“We also want to see what could

be done in stopping the practice of

selling puppies in parking lots. Maybe

this will slow down the backyard

breeding. And ensuring that all dogs

which leave the shelter are actually

spayed and neutered. “

Anyone who has spent time working

for or volunteering for the Humane

Society know the demands of being at

the front lines where a humane society

meets up with inhumane treatment

and attitudes. Yet, it

also has its rewards. It

is found in the eyes and

wagging tails of cats and

dogs who have homes-

and lives - because folks

like Shannon, Laurie,

Jon, Lisa, Eileen, Cheryl,

Richard and others

cared enough to stand

up for them.

Mother doesn’t want a dog

Mother says they smell.

And never sit when you say ‘sit”

Or even when you yell.

And when you come home late at night

And there is ice and snow,

You have to go back out because the

dumb dog has to go.

Mother doesn’t want a dog.

Mother says they shed.

And always let the strangers in

And bark at friends instead.

And do disgraceful things on rugs

And track mud on the floor,

And jump up on your bed at night

And snore and snore and snore.

Mother doesn’t want a dog.

She’s making a mistake.

Because more than a dog, I think,

She will not want this snake.

Our friends over at The Blue Mule Gallery have agreed to host a photo contest for rescue dogs. We’re calling it the,

“Rescue Dog Days of Summer - A Wall of Fame for Those Who Cared .”

The display will showcase dogs who have been adopted by our participating merchants, as well as any local resident or visitor who would like to contribute a photo of their “rescue dog!”

It’ll cost you a $1 (donation) to enter your photo into the Wall of Fame, which you know goes towards a good cause, and your photos will help drive home the point that no dog should go homeless!

So please bring us your favorite photo and a short BIO of your rescue pooch! We’ll host a People’s Choice Award for the most endearing pooch and story, as well as a general raffle for all entries. The final votes will be tallied at the end of the Tour on September 10th, and a raffle with cash prizes and gifts will be held at Blue Mule Gallery. See the Gallery for more info.

PAGE 22 GLOBEMIAMITIMESThe bear was a mature adult, we

could see right away. He was grubbing

in the leaves under a big black walnut

tree, too busy to hear us approach, I

guess, because when we rounded the

curve in the trail, there he was, about

40 feet away, as startled to see us as we

were to see him.

Whether a boar or sow, we never

determined; we assumed “he” because

he was so big, maybe 150 pounds, with a

thick, glossy, black coat. He had fattened

up during the summer and was still

feeding well.

My son and I had been dropped off

at the top of the Six Shooter Canyon

Trail near Ferndell Spring and were

hiking down, to be picked up a couple

of hours later, five miles down where

the trail crosses the road up to Pioneer

Pass; there’s an iron bridge there that

crosses Pinal Creek. The top mile of

trail used to be an old mine road but

it’s all washed out now and closed to

motorized vehicles. About half a mile

down is where we saw the bear.

We stared at each other, the bear

and us, for maybe five seconds, though

it seemed longer. Then he turned to his

right and trotted off through the pine

trees to a low ridge about 50 yards away.

There he stopped, turned around and

sat up on his back legs with his nose in

the air to sniff at us. We watched him

test the air for another 10 seconds and

he turned and went on down the other

side of the little ridge.

Charles and I looked at each other

then, let out our breath and relaxed a

little. We realized we had just had a very

rare encounter with a really impressive

animal; hardly ever will you see a bear

in the wild; they hear you coming, or

smell you, and will disappear long

before you ever get a chance to see

them. Still, we watched behind us as

we continued on down the trail. Just

in case.

The Six Shooter Canyon Trail is

still one of our favorite trails to hike.

And like so many other trails in the

Pinal Mountains and elsewhere in the

Tonto National Forest, you can hike

it year around, though deep snow at

the higher elevations can make them

difficult in the winter. Six Shooter

Canyon Trail, Telephone Trail, Kellner

Canyon Trail and Icehouse Canyon

Trail all begin off the Pioneer Pass

road, Forest Service Road 112, which

is reached by driving to the end of

Ice House Canyon, off Jess Hayes

Road just past the Globe Community

Center. All the trails begin at about

4,500 feet elevation and end near the

top of the mountain at about 7,500

feet; so you progress from high desert

chaparral with mesquite and cat claw,

through juniper, pinon pine, and on

up through maple, sycamore, walnut,

oak, ponderosa pine and fir, spruce

and aspen at the top. A wide variety

of wildflowers – and hummingbirds –

are abundant all summer long at the

high elevations.

Though you should be properly

equipped and prepared for hiking

anytime during the year, hiking these

or any other trails during the summer

requires some special thought – think

water. And don’t forget food. Fuel your

body for a hike starting the day before;

and just because you might be on a diet,

stressing your body on a six or seven

mile hike is not the time to count

calories. Eat a good breakfast and take

along some snacks: peanut butter

and jelly sandwich, M&Ms, peanuts,

walnuts, pecans or almonds; trail mix,

a banana, apple or orange. Sports

drinks are good – they will replace the

electrolytes you’ll be sweating

out – but plain old water is

fine. Just be sure you have

plenty of it – two quarts

for a long hike, ten miles

or more.

Now here’s a question

that’s on the test we give

for the college hiking class; it’s

multiple choice and relevant this time

of year: What do you do if you see a

snake in the trail? (A) Scream and run

the opposite direction. (B) Get a big

rock and kill it. (C) Find a long stick and

move it carefully off the trail. (D) Find

a stick and see if you can tease it into

curling up and posing for a photo. The

answer, of course, is (E) None of the

above. If it is a rattle snake, it probably

has already buzzed at you to get your

attention. Stop, locate it, and move

away; then, just find a way around it

and continue on up the trail. If it’s not

a rattle snake, do the same thing: just

walk away and leave it alone.

We’ve already seen several snakes

on our hikes this spring, most recently

right beside the trail hiking down

Haunted Canyon. Five of us were

ferried to the upper end of the canyon

by friends on ATVs, down a really

rugged trail off Oak Flats and past

the limestone quarry. We found the

trail – sort of – all covered with trees

blown down this past winter and after

bushwhacking through all the brush

and across a little side canyon, found

the trail again, promptly lost it and

made our way down a ridge to the creek

bottom that led to Haunted Canyon. A

couple of miles above Tony Ranch the

unmistakable nerve jangling buzz of

a black rattler made us all jump. I had

just walked past it and the lady behind

me was just coming up on it; about

three feet from both of us it buzzed and

we hopped back. I zoomed in with my

camera, took one photo of it all coiled

up and we back-tracked down to the

rocky creek bottom and proceeded. We

had lunch at the Tony Ranch, a little

ramshackle cabin abandoned many

years and now used as a camp spot

by back packers and hikers. The trail

down Haunted Canyon has to leave the

creek bed to bypass the “Box,” a narrow

canyon with sheer rock sides; you

either hike around or swim through.

Other than that, there is plenty of

shade and stretches of running

water, so this hike is suitable

for the heat of summer.

About three miles down,

we came to Pinto Creek and

after hiking almost two miles

down the road, came to our

ride out, parked at the mine gate

waiting for us.

Though we saw no rattlers, we saw

several bull snakes on the trail of another

good hike recently – up Four Peaks

to the top of Brown’s Peak, the peak

farthest north. El Oso Road, which takes

off to the west up the mountain at the

end of the Tonto Creek end of Roosevelt

Lake, is well maintained. It twists and

winds up the mountain to the crest of

the ridge just north of the Four Peaks

then forks off south to the trailhead.

The first 2 1/2 miles are a pleasant hike

up a well defined trail; the next quarter

mile is steep, to the bottom of a narrow

chute where both hands are needed in

places to find hand holds to climb the

rocks; it is an extremely tough hike.

The peak is 7,657 feet elevation, so

though it’s a tough hike, it’s still cool.

It’s a temptation to leave your backpack

at the saddle before starting up the

last half-mile, and that’s okay. Just be

sure to take your water with you; it’s

farther than it looks.

Remembering Woolworth’s

The year was 1997 and the retail giant, Woolworths, Master of the Five and Dime,

the inspiration behind all the others who have come since; Wal Mart, Target, Home

Depot, Costco, was closing its last store in the United States. It was located on Broad

Street in Globe, Arizona and had been a fixture of the community since 1916.

Originally built as a grand two-story building worthy of it’s place as one of

the captains of American capitalism the Globe store was reduced to one story

when a fire broke out on the upper floor in 1935 and destroyed the second floor.

It was then that the Art Deco front was added with the distinctive tile work

and architectural details of that era.

During the close-out sales, Kip Culver, the Main Street Director, purchased the

iconic baskets which Woolworth used in all their stores. They were lightweight,

rectangular tin “buckets” with a cloth handle and covered in cheery striped cloth.

Just the right size for narrow aisles and a plethora of small items.

You can find them now perched in a corner downstairs, where Molly Cornwell

manages and owns The White Porch Gifts and Antiques. Here they once again are

put to good use by shoppers.

Molly’s Shop is a fitting landing place for anything Woolworth-memorabilia

related, considering her family history. Molly is the great-granddaughter of both

F.W. Woolworth’s 5th President (paternal, paternal), and the West-coast district

manager (paternal, maternal). Alfred L. Cornwell presided over the empire from

1946 to 1954, during which time Robert W. Weber presided over the fastest growing

district stretching from the Rockies, West. Story handed down that these two

hard-working men were fierce company adversaries, but were united (against

all forbidding) in family, when their two only children fell in love and eloped.

These two were Molly’s grandparents

hence the true-life love story and Woolworth’s, Continued on next page

Frank Woolworth won a fortune, not by showing how little could be sold for so much but how much

could be sold for little.” – New York Times 1919

GLOBEMIAMITIMES PAGE 25

both the inherited & collected F.W.

Woolworth’s memorabilia.

The real life story of Frank

Woolworth and the 118 year dynasty

which he established is well researched

and written about in the book, “

Remembering Woolworth’s” by Karen

Plunkett Powell. She tells the story of

a young store clerk who was failing

miserably as a sales clerk, when asked

by the store owner to do a window

display out of some new fabric which

came in. Frank threw himself into the

project, scrubbing every bit of glass

and wood until it shined and laying

out a bright bolt of red fabric with gold

ribbon and bobbins. The effect was so

stunning, the store had record sales

that day, and Woolworth discovered his

true calling. Merchandising.

From this humble beginning Frank

Woolworth went on to build one of

the most successful retail empires of

it’s day. In England,where they were

known as “Woolies” customers broke

down in tears and staged protests

when the stores began closing in

the late ’80’s. The great empire had

prospered through five wars, the Great

Depression and social upheval at

home and abroad. Frant Woolworth’s

business acumen has been studied by

the best in the business and in many

ways provided a blue print of how to

conduct business today for the big box

discount houses.

Frank Woolworth died in 1919,

just three years after the Globe store

opened. Turns out the only will he

left was one written in 1890 leaving

everything to his wife Jennie.

Although he’d had a new will drawn

up many years later, he never signed

it, and when he died, Jennie was

incompetent. It would take years to

clear up the confusion.

The man had nearly $30 million

in personal property, and owned

25% of Woolworth stock estimated at

around 13 million. Not to mention he

owned the iconic Woolworth Building

out right. (The Woolworth Building

had many firsts of it’s kind including:

Yet, he did not appear to be a wealthy

many when it came to family. His

children – raised on a five and dime

fortune- were neither frugal or

good with money. They provided

tabloids with a steady stream

of juicy material about lavish

lifestyles and messy divorces.

(Barbra Hutton – the woman

who was called one of the richest

women in the world- and one of

the unhappiest- was part of the

Woolworth dynasty).

It would be some of the original

founders and Board members who

would oversee the expansion of the

Woolworth stores until the name “ was

known all over the world.”

In an interview shortly before

his death in 1919, a young reporter

asked him to summarize the secret of

his success. He came up with seven

business tips which he had lived

by. Nearly hundred years later they

still resonate:

1. Of course you will be discouraged.

But keep on.

2. If you believe in an idea, give it a

chance. Some of my first stores failed

because I placed them in the wrong

part of town. There’s always a right

location. Find it.

This beam in the basement is the only remaining physical sign that Woolworths existed here.

Woolworth’s Continued 3. Everybody likes to make a good

bargain. Let him. Small profits on an

article will become big profits if you

sell enough of the articles.

4. I believe in doing business by

and with cash. Large credit is a

temptation to careless buying.

5. Supervise details, but don’t allow

them to absorb you. Don’t waste the

time of a high-prized organizer on a

clerk’s job.

6. I prefer the boy from the farm to

the college man. The college man

won’t begin at the bottom to learn

the business.

7. There are plenty of opportunities

today. Many young men fail because

they are not willing to sacrifice.

No one ever built a business on

thoughts of having a good time.

Woolworth's built a reputation for

delivering on customer service. In

honor of FW Woolworth, we're taking a

poll this summer to see how we're doing.

Boyce Arboretum, Continued from page 2

is thought to be the only one of its kind in the U.S.

It forms the entrance to the newly enhanced South

American Desert Exhibit where more than a dozen,

large Argentine saguaros and other large cacti were

planted last summer. These fetching, columnar

cacti contribute their bulk and character to the

other 700 South American plants added to this

exhibit since 1993.

Even though Boyce Thompson Arboretum

has created exhibits from eight of the world’s

deserts, it also has a number of specialty

gardens that feature plants more related

to each other than to a particular region of

the world. It’s the Arboretum version of plant

nepotism and one example is the Taylor Desert

Legume Garden, where plants in the bean family

are grown and arranged according to their

importance as food, fodder, industry, medicine

and ornamentals. Other gardens include the

collection of fragrant, old garden roses in the Heritage Rose Garden and the

historic masses of golden barrels and other succulents in the two acre Cactus and

Succulent Garden.

The Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden (known affectionately as the

Hum-But) and the Wing Memorial Herb Garden are two slightly different specialty

gardens because they are designed with plants combined by their usefulness

rather than their genetics. The newest garden of this type is the Children’s Garden

where kids can become a sundial, experience a living rainbow, find their way through

a bamboo maze, and even make a frog croak.

With an invaluable membership program, frequent photography and

horticulture classes, weekend bird, reptile, butterfly, tree, and geology walks,

festivals that celebrate plants, music and culture, year-round plant sales, and a

“top-shelf” bookstore, Boyce Thompson Arboretum has evolved to become a

world-class botanical garden. It’s still the same pretty place to picnic, and it’s still

just as close as it always was, but now – today – it is so much more.

ANSWERS TO QUOTES ON PAGE 26

She learned in ’74 on an X90 Lightweight so

she would have some credibility with buyers

who came in to talk bikes when she’d be the

only one in the shop. Back then both buyers

and sellers were mostly men. Women who rode

were often considered ‘rough.’ Beverly was

an anomaly. She was neither male nor ‘rough.’

She just made it her business to know her

customers and know her bikes, a trait which

remains at the heart of her success.

Harley-Davidson itself is quite the success

story both for the bikes it has produced over

the years and its avid customers who make up

a culture unto itself. Started in 1903, the

Company has survived the economic and

social upheavals of five wars, and the Great

Depression. In fact it was one of just two

major American motorcycle manufacturers to

survive the Great Depression. In 1973 when

Beverly opened the first dealership, there

were only three models: the Sportster,

Super Glide, Electra Glide and the

Lightweights. Today there are nearly

forty models and a multi-million

dollar industry in accessories and

add-ons. The company generates

5% of their revenue just by

licensing the logo.

The name HOG, commonly

associated with Harleys, came

from the early 1900’s when a

group of farm boys who raced

Harleys would place a

real pig on the back

of their bike and take

a victory lap after

every win. They won

so consistently, the hog

became synonymous

with Harley.

With over 10 million

motorcycle owners,

it is safe to say, not

everyone owns a

Harley. Something which is a mysterious

phenomenon to those who do. Yet, according

to webBikeWorld, sales of Street Bikes far

exceed the other categories of Dual Sport,

Off Road and Scooters by a margin of 40 80%.

And it is this market where Harleys excel:

heavyweight street bikes built for comfort on

the road.

It’s that love of the road combined

with a powerful machine and newly designed

comfort of the ride which translates into

more folks discovering the joy of the road.

In April of this year, Joanne Steel who

writes a blog ruraltourismmarketing.com

posted an excellent piece on Bikers and

Rural Tourism. She says communities

– especially rural communities – are

missing a great opportunity if they

are not marketing to today’s Biker.

She goes on to say, “today’s bikers are

passionate about their bikes and the

open road. They are also generally

middle-to-upper class folks who love the

challenge of scenic, un-crowded back roads

and take very good care of their bikes. They are

community spirited people and drop money

into rural communities where they often spend

a night, hang out at bars and restaurants and

– in general raise the economic bar for rural

communities and back road businesses.“

Sounds like old fashioned Good Business.

Good Times.
