Gold King Mine & Ghost Town Ride Review &
Slideshow
3rd
Saturday Ride for
September
On
Saturday, September 17th, 52 members on 36
motorcycles joined Ride Host, Gene & Jeannie Adee for a
fun ride to the Gold King Mine & Ghost Town in Jerome.
Gene
divided the members into three pre-assigned riding groups
and they departed for the first leg of the ride to
Cottonwood for a group lunch at Murphy’s Grill.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch and when the
announcement was made that the club would be picking up
the lunch tab for the entire group, everyone was really in
good spirits.
Following
lunch, it was time to get back on the bikes for a short
ride up the hill through Jerome and onto the Gold King
Mine & Ghost Town.
As the members arrived at the Ghost Town entrance,
they were not sure what to expect inside.
As they entered the Gold King Mine, they found
acres and acres of all types and ages of vehicles and
machinery.
There were unbelievable collections of
cars, trucks,
buses, gas tankers, fire trucks and on and on.
Also, included in the collection were a number of
antique motorcycles scattered about the area.
Most
all of the vehicles and equipment were in running order,
and to the delight of the members, especially the guys,
the owner and curator, Don Robertson started up a number
of the vehicles and machines for our pleasure.
The members explored the massive collection of
antiques, and in most cases stayed longer than expected as
around each corner, there was something new and different
to see and explore.
The
members then made their way toward the parking lot and
gathered in small groups for the open return ride home.
All of the participating members would like to
thank Gene & Jeannie for planning and hosting this fun
ride, lunch and Gold Mine Tour.
Thanks guys, it was great fun!
This
was a very unusual ride for Gene as he and Jeannie were in
their Porsche instead of riding the big black Harley.
Following his return from the Hoka Hey Ride, Gene
loaded his bike into a container for shipment to Israel
where he will join up with additional riders in November
for a riding tour in Israel.
