Trail 392

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:18:01 +0000

392 starts at Thumb Butte Road about a half-mile past the park and on the left side of the road. It meets up with the creek side trail right at the trail head. From there it goes up onto the top of a small hill where it meets up with the Old Road 51 and from there you can access Butte Creek and the higher trails alongside of Thumb Butte. It’s a wonderful quick way to get into that area. It’s a moderate climb with a couple of hard spots and by the time you wish it was over, it is.

Trail 392 saves you having to ride all the way up Thumb Butte Road to the juniper tree.

Trail 317

One of the low trails at Thumb Butte Park. A nice, moderate trail consisting of the old section going up to Forest (No) Trails Subdivision and the new section going down to Kingswood Subdivision. A little bumpy, but in a fun way. It’s bitchin’ on the single speed, what the bike’s made for.

Trail 373 and 396 off White Spar Road

Trail 373 starts across from the water fall at Prescott Pines Mobile Park. The sign says 373 and it heads into the back of the White Spar Campground. Your ride though the campground to the bottom of School House Gulch and the trail will begin on your left about 50-feet up School House Gulch Road.

Trail 396 is moderate, smooth, well-maintained and perfect for the casual rider. You can ride this trail all the way up to Goldwater Lake and then from there ride around the lake and continue on to the dam service trail or the Feldmeier Trail. Either of these choices will take you down to the bottom of the dam road almost to the bottom. Trail 373 is on the left before you reach the gate and is the wonderful ride back over to the White Spar Campground. From there you go whatever direction you want.

Vic’s Sub Shop

After the family-owned neighborhood grocery store went up in flames in the early sixties Vic Faulstick reopened as a sandwich shop. Catering to a loyal group of regular customers, Vic kept the shop small and made a lot of sandwiches to go.

Take a look at Nick’s Feed Your Face and you’ll have the general idea about the size and operation of Vic’s shop. Nick does everything almost exactly the same as his father with a few exceptions. There is the oil and vinegar thing; that’s all Vic offered and if you wanted mustard or other condiments you had to bring your own. There were bottles and bottles of condiments with people’s names on them in the back of the fridge.

Vic had seven kinds of subs and didn’t introduce turkey until the late seventies. With Vic there was a lot of baloney and also salami and American cheese. There was a whole lot of cabbage stuffed into subs back in the day. The bread came from Gonnela Bakery, was really sturdy, came in three-foot long loaves that you could store standing on end. The bread was crusty and it was great.

According to Nick it was great growing up in a sub shop where he started working at the age of 12. By the time he was a genuine teenager he had more money than his peers and just enough to get into some real trouble. He worked at Vic’s Sub Shop until he left Chicago to attend Prescott College and that was so many years ago we won’t embarrass him by telling you when.

Prescott

Prescott in 1981 didn’t have the options for food that we have now. If you were a working kid in Prescott back then you were making $3.25 an hour and so it didn’t take much for Nick to feel the pull to small business. Following in his father’s footsteps he started small and the rest is history.

These aren’t just sandwiches, these aren’t just subs; this is history and it’s yummy too. Put a little cabbage in your life today.
