17th Annual
Florence Prison Run
February 06, 2000
Teri told me as we were cruising down I-17 towards
Tucson "If somebody would have told me two months ago that I would be riding
to the prison in Florence with the Hells Angels, I would have told them
they were nuts!"
The Hells Angels M/C and before them the Dirty
Dozen M/C have been putting on this run for the last 17 years.
We started out in north Phoenix at the Steel Horse
Saloon and the proceded in a somewhat orderly fashion 80 miles south to
Florence to the finish at Yolandas Chuck Wagon. Live music, vendors
and plenty of beer to drink if you felt like playing chicken with the Arizona
Highway Patrol on the way home.
Dave, Spider, Richie and the others riding with
us planned on going back home that nite but Teri and I decided that Wickenburg
would be a nice overnite for us since we didn't have to be back in Havasu
until Monday afternoon.
We stayed at a little B&B in the Apple Room
in Wickenburg on nothing less than a featherbed, great place. The
weather couldn't have been better all weekend and it was a nice putt home
on Monday.
