• A to Z Rules
      Start with a City beginning with A
    1. This is BY STATE
    2. Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
    3. Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
    4. The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
    5. You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
    6. Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
    7. If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
    8. If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.Previously Rule 8
    9. For some States there are tough letters to find such as Q, W, X, Y, Z - in those cases it is acceptable to find anything with those letters in the name to keep the game moving.

    The World Wide game is a bit different as it is by whatever is considered a geographic type of regional category, state/province/village etc. and all those will be in the single World Wide A-Z topic.
  • ST-Owners and the event organizer(s) are not responsible for the actions taken during any ride. Each member is responsible for determining if conditions are acceptable for riding and for their actions.

A bit of history -

Founded in 1886 and incorporated in 1890, Roxie, Mississippi, was established as a railroad shipping hub on land donated by John Quincy Adams Graves, a local leader and Civil War veteran who named it after his newborn daughter. Located in Franklin County, early residents primarily engaged in logging and sawmill work. It was developed at the intersection of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railway and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. By the early 1900s, it featured a post office (established 1885), churches, and a Masonic lodge. Local lore includes the "Roxie Gold Hole," a legendary, decades-old tale of buried treasure and hidden wealth on Hamburg Road. ​

A Little History -

Named Zama after the daughter of one of the community's founders.A post office named Ayres ran from 1891 to 1908, followed by the Zama post office from 1918 to 1964. The W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company opened a large band saw mill, driving a 12-year economic boom. The company ran the Kosciusko & Southeastern Railroad to link Zama's mill to the main Illinois Central Railroad line in Kosciusko. At its peak, the town featured two hotels, a bank, a jail, a railroad depot, stores, cafes, and churches. The local timber supply ran out and the devastating Great Depression hit simultaneously, causing the lumber mill to close permanently in 1931. The first local school was built in 1907. The National Youth Administration (NYA) helped construct a vocational building and a gymnasium in 1937 and 1938. On April 27, 2011, an EF1 tornado with 95 mph winds struck the Zama area during the historic Super Outbreak, tracking for 1 mile and destroying a local barn alongside power lines and trees. Today, very little of the original booming commercial town remains outside of the historic school complex structures, a local cemetery, and the Zama Baptist Church building.​
