A simple solution to get you out of the winter doldrums!...fly into Phoenix...visit Eagle Rider motorcycle rental...select a cool motorcycle...and then just motor up "The Big Hill" to historic Cottonwood, AZ!! :thumb: :cool: :1:

It's interesting, because over the last few years, a couple of people stayed at the Rio Verde Campground, and it's really nice...but the HUB of activity at his particular N.A.R. is at The View Motel...and it's only 5 minutes away!

I need to check if Jim McDermott was getting T-shirts or not...??? but I will order about 40 black baseball cap with the classic Guzzi logo on them! :cool:   Also have a bunch of leftover Cottonwood N.A.R. decals from last years which I will give out.

No worries about dinner Fri. or Sat. night...we will take good care of you! :thumb:

Indeed.... :laugh: :grin: :wink: 

That was my reaction when they told me at Pie Town, New Mexico that their pies cost $35 each!!!!

Were their "rather spendy pies" any better than a similar sized Village Inn pie for $8?  ...or a large pie from Rock Springs Cafe for $18-$22?!?

Ahhhhhhh....that would be a big......NO! :laugh: :grin: :wink:
