2016-fc-roundup-ad

Yes, we are joining the crowds in Phoenix for the most excellent 2016 FC-Roundup this year!! As always, the event takes place March 18-20th at Ybarra “Resort and Spa” Get all the details here: http://thefcconnection.com/2016_fc_roundup_march_18-20,2016.htm

We also plan to do a few other things while in the area:

1. We will check out the Goldfield Ghost Town this year.
2. We’ll be driving down to Tucson to visit the ASARCO (what’s left of the company anyway) Mineral Discovery Center and Mine Tour. Since my latest book is about the early history of the once giant smelting and refining company, it seemed like a good idea to go on one of their tours.
3. No trip to Phoenix would be complete without sharing a beer with “Joe in Mesa”.

Steve’s got a variety of unused bearings that came with a wagon he bought. He has no use for them. He’d rather give them away to eWillys readers than recycle them. If you are interested, contact Steve at owenwalk@comcast.net.
