My Day with Typospigeon


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 :)

Enjoying the view of the mountains
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!

Dinner With the Typeanati

I met Ted Munk, the lovely Tori Forte, and Peter Baker for dinner tonight. Wonderful people who share the love of vintage typewriters. The icing on the cake - Ted brought along a few of his portables and we did an impromptu type-in!

Most of my typing was blathering about how this one felt or that one looks. But one entry jumped off the page and grabbed me by the throat when I got home.

As evidenced by this entry alone, a good time was had by all. I look forward to many more such evenings.
