Ghost Ride to Douglas! The Ghostly Overnighter |
24 OCTOBER, 2009 - Meet at the Sierra Vista HD Dealership at 1430, we ride at 1500 |
It's that time of year...Goblins, Haunted Houses, and of course the Ghost of Poncho Villa!
Come ride with us to the Gadsden Hotel in downtown Douglas, Arizona where we will be amongst the legendary ghost of Poncho Villa. After we check in to the hotel, we want to ride back over to Bisbee for dinner at the Farmer's Market as they have been a great supporter of ours.
After dinner, we will return to the Gadsden, where we will be provided a personal tour and "story telling" by one of the locals.
If anyone survives the encounters with the legendary bandito, we can relax in the safety of our rooms and play some poker.
Make your reservations now with the Gadsden Hotel by calling 520-364-4481 and ask for Robin Brekhus. You will receive a 20% discount by telling her you're with TM HOG.

'Many employees and guests of the Gadsden have had encounters with the Gadsden Ghost. The ghost has been reported mostly in the basement and is said to be a tall man in black clothing and often with no head. Some believe this ghost is the ghost of Poncho Villa himself. At the time of his death in 1923, Poncho Villa was reported to have a hidden treasure somewhere in the mountains of Northern Mexico.
The only map to this location was tattooed on Villa's head. It is said that upon his death, Villa's loyal followers cut off his head and buried it under the ashes of the recently burned Gadsden Hotel in order to forever keep the secret location of the treasure concealed. Unknowingly, the Gadsden Hotel was re-built over the top of the skull and Poncho Villa remains wandering the dark damp halls of the Gadsden basement searching for his head and the map to his treasure. Quoted from The Gadsden Hotel: Daughter-in-law and Hotel Manager Robin Brekhus will be one of the first to tell you more of the Gadsden's interesting past as she recalls her first encounter with the Gadsden Ghost. It was 4:10 pm Friday March 13,1991.
The power had failed and she was in the basement, searching for candles. In the beam of her flashlight, she saw a faceless figure shaped like a man. "He just kind of floated down the hallway. It just looked like fog to me, but it was the shape of a person." For years, hotel workers and guests have confessed to seeing an apparition often around Lent or Christmas, and often in the hotel's cavernous basement. Sometimes it's described as headless, caped and wearing army-style khaki clothing. In her 26th year of operating one of the oldest manual elevators west of the Mississippi, Carmen Diaz saw the ghost in the basement as well. "Tall man. Black pants suit. No head." Brenda Maley, restaurant Supervisor said she saw the shadow of a body hunched over her one night as she lay on her stomach in her bed in her hotel room. She said she witnessed this immediately after a strange sensation where "all of a sudden I couldn't move." A movie crew member told Brekhus that his light turned off and on in the middle of the night, and then his golf clubs went crashing down on the floor.'
If anyone survives the encounters with the legendary bandit, we can relax in the safety of our room and play some poker.

WHERE TO: Albuquerque, NM |
WHO: All Members & 1 Guest
Meet at the Jumping Jack Gas Station in Palominas at 0800 hrs on Friday Morning ( 2 OCT 2009 )
The Chapter is planning a weekend ride to Albuquerque during the weekend of October 2-4, 2009. This is the same weekend as the Balloon festival and rooms are going really fast. There is a bed and breakfast outside of Albuquerque (Belen) that has some available rooms as well as a Holiday Inn Express. I am enclosing a web site so if you're interested, I suggest booking now.
The plan is as follows:
On the 2nd, ride to Belen, NM via I-10 to Deming. Then either on to Hatch or Silver City then east to I-25 to Belen. The group can decide which way they want to go, maybe one way going and the other coming back. On the 3rd, ride from Belen to Madrid and Santa Fe via NM 14 on the east side of the Sandia Mountains. Plan on spending some time in Madrid and see where Wild Hogs was filmed. Then maybe refreshments at the Mineshaft Bar and Grill (restaurant) then on to Sante Fe and Old Town. Plan to time our swing back along I-25 to see some balloons.

Holiday Inn Express also has some rooms available and can be reached at (505) 861-5000
