A couple weeks ago we went to Jerome,AZ

it's an old Mining Town,After a stop for lunch

we were greeted by Local Law Enforcement to

Check that our Plate,Insurance were up to date.

They even gave us directions for some local trails !

Last Thanksgiving we had a Camp & Ride

Not far from our Camp lives an old miner "Jim"

We all chipped in and got him a New Generator and ton's

of Food,Someone out of the group usually makes a run out

to his place a couple times a month.

A Buddy or ours Deep Fried a Turkey to take to Jim

The Convoy heading out to Jim's

Jim,Getting a little choked up with the trailer full of stuff

He has spent most of his life Mining and has some of the

best stories,It's great to see living history :smile:

Wow, that's some great stories. That's awesome that you guys take care of old Jim there! I bet he has some great stories. That is quite a convoy of riders. How many times a year do you guys get together like that? I'm gonna ahave to move out west!

[Desert-Hawk]

With the Big group 4 or 5 times a year

I'll spend the rest of my life riding here and never see it all

but i'll do my best to try

[Ajmboy]

it would be a pleasure

I talked to you on ATV pathfinder and you told me I should get a Rincon. You have a Rincon and I was wondering if you have any trouble pulling or if you have trouble on hills, or any trouble at all? I went to Honda today and am going to get one next week I hope unless you tell me something bad. I hope to take a trip out there either this spring or next fall and want to ride as much as possible while I am there.

HA! I've had more than one conversation with Desert Hawk on ATV Pathfinder too. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer, more knowledgeable guy. I'd say welcome to the site, but you've been a member here longer than I have.

My daughter told me that anyone over the age of 40 should not use the term "lol"!

Great pictures! We have been talking about going to Arizona to visit friends and go riding. I am more excited now to go. I have been to Quartz Site and it was great. I will check out the links you have on you first post.

Thanks,

Bill

Depending on the time of year sometimes you can ride

all four seasons in one day !

[Sc0tt]

That is awesome.

Thought I would add some more to this post of areas to ride, since this post has not be active in awhile.  These are from Southern Arizona - area is the Santa Rite Mountains. Pic of mine and my brother in laws machines at a spot called Alisio springs - Rain came down in buckets that day and it was great! Elevation is approx 5000 FT.
