More photos from last weekend's Hells Angels Prison Run in Florence Arizona.
I've had a lot of new blog visitors since I posted about the Hell's Angels Prison Run. Here are some more photos from the event.
What was I doing out there anyway? AZ79 from Florence Junction to Oracle used to be part of US89, before that segment was decommissioned in 1992. I'm photographing a book on the entire length of the old Highway 89. The prison run is a (the) great event in Florence, no way I would miss it.
Where does Highway 89 go? Nogales AZ to Piegan MT. If you've been to Grand Tetons, Zion, Yellowstone, Glacier, Saguaro, Bryce, or Grand Canyon National Parks, you've surely traveled part of Highway 89. It has to have some of the greatest biker roads left in America. One secret stretch is between Great Falls and Livingston MT, a back route from Glacier to Yellowstone. Would make a great side trip around Sturgis time.
How can I get the book? Be sure to sign up to receive an email notification when the book comes out. I promise I will not use it for spam or other evil.
Please don't hot link my blog photos to forum discussions or Myspace pages. It might seem free, but I pay for bandwidth every time someone reads your page. I've uploaded these photos to my Flickr account, so hot link from there if you want. Reprinting, editing, or redistributing these images without my permission would not make me happy. If you need them for something, just ask.
Hey that's me? Please get in touch if you are in one of the photos.
Thanks to all the riders - it looked like you were having a great time. Hope nobody got hassled and everyone made it home safe. Maybe I'll see you next year.

The most famous section of US89 is State Street. Every time a person steps on State, they are connected to a wonderful swatch of the West.
Of course, there are silly things like the first KFC, an Eagle Gate and a string of tall buildings.

Hearing those engines roar over the phone was a sweet substitute for the real thing, but like one potato chip, it left me hungry for more. I have to say, Ann, it's a good thing those bikers are in control. Otherwise, you would have been road kill. I hope time and circumstances allow me another adventure with you on this great project. For just now,I will content myself with watching from my kitchen window as you work on your computer to create this wonderful and exciting project.
