I got a call this Friday afternoon asking if I'd man our ABATE booth on Saturday (7/29) for the Michigan Patriot Guard ride to the "Moving Wall".

I was told that a Canadian Film Crew was there to do a documentary on John Colone and Hell, MI. John is a decorated Viet Nam veteran and the Mayor of Hell, and owner of the "Devils Den and General Store" and "Screams Ice Cream Parlor". John is also an ABATE member and has made Hell a "Motorcycle Friendly Village" since I first rode through jt in 1972.

Sure enough I rode to Hell and met some of the film crew and the producer. They were very jnterested on how John has made Hell the M/C destination that it has become (ask Smokin Joe or Henry008).

They wanted to shoot me on my Rat Rod Valk (as on of the non-typical rider that frequents Hell). But on Saturday they will be amazed at the size and scope of the Patriot Guard and the generousity of John towaed vets and bikers. He is having a massive Pig Roast for all Guard Riders and ABATE members to thank them for there service.

I will try to post pictures within a few days and at least find where/when the documentary can be seen.

I must correct my last post.

The Patriot Guard is having a ride today to help raise money for the Moving Wall.

I'm sorry for my error, however the "Wall" is coming to Hamburg, MI for the second time in it's history.
Hamburg is just a short distance from Hell, MI.
