Soaking wet and not being able to see through the rain, I pulled under the covered awning in Hatch Utah. I was followed by a highway patrol officer, lights flashing. I figured on the worst, as times would have it then, but instead of ticketing me, and telling me to move on, the patrolman asked if I was okay, and allowed me to sleep under a picnic table until the storm subsided.

I always remembered this act of kindness, and after I had a heart attack in 2007, I came across an AD for the Galaxy of Hatch Restaurant and Motel.

I turned it into a Harley Davidson Biker Themed Motel. Built for bikers, by a biker who also understands the kinship and love of the road.
