Hey Kolbfolks.  My cuz just got back from  Tucson, AZ.  She visited the Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Center,  AMARC, and told me there's a Kolb Rd. there.  I Googled it and check  out what I found  http://www.amarcexperience.com/AMARCVGuide.asp

  

 Has anyone (or maybe almost everyone) visited this  place, and does anyone know; is Kolb Road a coincidence??

Hey, Dave -



I grew up in Tucson.  Kolb Road has been there forever - I'm sure there

is no relation to Homer and his humble airplanes.  In the early-70s

(when I was in high school), Kolb Rd was WAY out on the outskirts of

Tucson - it was a favorite spot for drag racing and boony parties.

Today, it's all developed.

Dennis, Tucson's pretty far from the canyon, but do  you know if Kolb Rd. has anything to do with the Kolb brothers who  explored the Grand Canyon and then wrote books and set up a photographer's shop  virtually on the canyon wall?  I have a couple of their works and a DVD  about them.  They were a couple of crazy guys!!!  I first learned of  them from a movie at the Imax Theatre on the South Rim on a 'cycle trip out  there.  If you haven't seen it and it's still playing, there's some  incredible footage re-creating their early 20th century  excursion down the Colorado River through the Canyon (before the dams); an  adventure that a couple of members who didn't do well with the extreme  risk, quit to try to return to civilization and were never heard from  again.  An ultralight was used for a lot of  the film making (but I don't know if was a Kolb).  The Kolb's studio is  still in use as a shop and, I think, a museum.

  

 Thanks a bunch for the local insight, Dennis.   Cuz says there are airplanes almost as far as you can see.
