The Garden Cafe & Spice Co., Yuma, AZ

Written by Steve Johnson
One would never expect to find cool shade trees under a hot Yuma afternoon in the downtown section of the city, but it exists at quaint little cafe on Madison Street. The Garden Cafe & Spice Co. is located on a piece of property that’s been in the family for four generations. Open only...

Yuma, AZ | In Search of a Soul

Written by Steve Johnson
downtown yuma arizona
For much of my life, Yuma, AZ seemed like a town struggling to define itself.  Rich with history and tales of the Old West, it seemed unable to leverage its past to commercial success in the way Tombstone, Dodge City, and Virginia City have done. Yet, Yuma had always attracted me.  Why I had kept...

Yuma Territorial Prison, Yuma, AZ

Written by Steve Johnson
Much is written about the saga of the Old West.  From Deadwood, SD to Dodge City, KS, to Tombstone, AZ, scores of books, movies, and television shows detail the legends of such likes as Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok, and Calamity Jane. But you rarely hear about the prisons...

Written by Steve Johnson

View Larger Map With 13 million people eating its fried chicken each week at over 17,000 locations in 115 countries, it’s hard to think that Kentucky Fried Chicken wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for the folks in Salt Lake City, UT. It was in 1951 that Colonel Harlan Sanders met...

Moe’s Original Bar-B-Que: Denver’s Best Kept Secret

Written by Steve Johnson

View Larger Map It seems like whenever someone puts together a list of best barbecue joints in Denver, Moe’s Original Bar-B-Que always makes the list. It was my brother who initially turned me on to Moe’s, particularly the location in Englewood along Broadway, which is actually a combination barbecue restaurant, concert venue, and bowling...

Mount Rushmore: It’s Underground Museum

Written by Steve Johnson
mount rushmore
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is perhaps the most famous landmarks in the United States. Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, there are myriad of roads you can take to get there. Many motorcyclists we’ve met, however, don’t seemed interested in paying the $11.00 per vehicle parking fee to get inside. In fact,...

Mitchell Corn Palace: The House That Corn Built

Written by Steve Johnson
corn palace
When corn is your life, when it’s supports your community, provides your sustenance, and is why your mom and dad ever found a reason to get together and give birth to you, it makes sense to erect a palace made of corn. Mitchell Corn Palace is not exactly made of corn, it’s just layered...

St. Elmo Bar, Bisbee, AZ, Did Doc Holliday Drink Here?

Written by Steve Johnson
When one stops in for a drink at St. Elmo Bar in Bisbee, AZ, one joins a unique brotherhood (and sisterhood) of patrons that stretches back 150 years or more in the famous, “Brewery Gulch”. One can’t walk the streets of Bisbee and not feel goosebumps on their arms. Perhaps it’s knowing that my...

I'm a "Man in Black", one of those guys who goes around dressed in black suits, looking for people who were abducted by UFOs so that we can keep them quiet. Sash and I travel around in this trailer awaiting orders from headquarters for my next assignment. I can't show you the details of my work, but I can show you how I live.
