The stuff I've read was more than just a few "Welcome" signs, and indicated that the local gov, private citizens, and a good share of the businesses want to cut down on bikers, and attract more "traditional" tourists. Dale and his son told me ya could go in a great many businesses in town...includin a motel a half block away...and they either couldn't, or wouldn't, tell ya where the museum was located. So, either they're not all that biker friendly...or have some kinda beef with the museum. I'm thinkin they're either not givin him enuf credit for the amount of business the museum draws to the area...or maybe he's tryin to claim too much credit...who knows? All I know is there's gotta be some mighty bad blood 'tween 'em for him to wanna go thru the expense and trouble of movin all that stuff. I just hope I don't have to go to AZ to pick up my Knuckle. hehe
