We actually rode past Goldfield in order to enjoy the scenery (and curves) further up the
Apache Trail.
After a few laps of the best section, we stopped at
Tortilla Flat to chat with some of the riders sharing the road.

After a good chat on the porch, my guest intimated she was ready to move on. I think she was excited to get close to the vintage machinery she'd glimpsed on the way. We said our goodbyes and hit the road.
Upon arrival in
Goldfield, I sensed a bit of disdain from Typospigeon. I don't think she expected a tourist trap. Luckily, she perked up when I told her she could actually sit on the old machines.

| Sadly, I didn't calibrate my Minolta Hi-Matic correctly for the film I was using. Sorry for the washouts. |

| Where's Typospigeon? |
 |
| Tried a little digital fun with this one. It's not always evil :) |

Aside from the film troubles, we had a fantastic ride into the
Superstition Mountains. Always a good way to spend a day!
Typospigeon moves on to carry her message of mechanical/analog joy to the next agent of the Insurgency. Type on brother and sisters!
Just when those locals thought they'd seen it all!
ReplyDeleteYes, there were a few sidelong glances while I was taking pictures :)
DeleteHow fun! Seems like a lovely day. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am enjoying the continuing adventures of Typospigeon and look forward to the report from her next host, whoever that may be.
ReplyDeleteThe Typospigeon sure gets around. Glad the trip is a joy for all. Looking towards the next stop for Typospigeon.
ReplyDeleteWow! I bet the typospigeon didn't know she was going to have such grand adventures awaiting her when she left Kentucky!
ReplyDeleteExcellent adventure with the Typospigeon! (:
ReplyDeleteI actually like the washed-out look, sort of makes finding the pigeon a game of Where's Waldo? :D
Thanks Ted. You know how it is - "That's not how I visualized it at all!"
