Everything He Said Was Dead-On

This is a photo of a guy named John Van Hayden (I hope I got that right). He lives in Taos, New Mexico. We met him in Canon City (pronounced Canyon), Colorado. He gave us plenty of tips about the fantastic scenery and roads into, out of, and through the Rockies, and the Black Canyon National Park area. He described it all in such detail and with such a passion that I wanted him to come along with us. The problem? Where would we fit him?

Here he is showing off his hand-rebuilt Indian motorcycle, which he was riding back to Taos from the Canon City area. One of the nicest guys I've ever met on the road, and certainly living his life the way he wants.

Thanks, John, for all the spot-on info.
