cobblestone streets.

Vinales is perfect for beach lovers who perhaps want to spend a few hours of relaxation water-side, but this may not be an approved stop on your tour.

Viñuales is located in the Pinar del Rio province and is a compact city surrounded by a scenic valley, where giant limestone hills rise in striking shapes.

Be aware that this is in some ways a second or third world country because of the strict communist government that has held back progress for too many years.

Don’t expect deluxe tour buses, fancy shops or lavish dining.

Sometimes a few of the dishes on a restaurant menu will be in short supply, so you have to be open to changes.

The plus side is seeing and meeting warm people who welcome you with open arms and learning about their life and styles.

The countryside is very beautiful and for the most part tropical and warm. It will be fun to see many of the old U.S. automobiles that have been kept running along with Russian cars and others from what were Eastern European countries.

Don’t expect luxury, but enjoy the smiling people making do with their existence.

If I were planning a trip to Cuba next year I would select a cruise with a small, newish ship with all the luxuries Americans expect, with American ownership and officers. The staterooms offer very nice balconies on which you can enjoy the sights of the Cuban coast as you cruise from one location to another. Its small size allows the ship to dock right in the heart of the towns and cities. You enjoy American food on board. The cruise line is Pearl Seas Cruises and the ship is the Pearl Mist. It carries only 210

guests. More information is available at: PearlSeasCruises.com or phone: 1-888-891-8359. They are planning 10-night cultural voyage in 2016.

Another cruise line owned by the Carnival Corporation is Fathom. They will operate a very fine ship that carries some 710 passengers and offers a different type of cruise that really immerses you in the Cuban experience. They may be contacted at: FathomCruises.com.

Tour companies that will operate next year to Cuba are: Vacation Express, Central Holidays, and Globus.

Be sure to contact an informed travel agency who knows the ropes in booking Cuba tours and cruises. This is very important. If you don’t know of one, ask around or find one on the Internet. This will be a very special travel experience.

SPECTRE

Movie does not meet Bond expectations Our hearts begin to pound with the familiar and beloved theme music begins, oh boy we think.

There are grand Bond films, wretched Bond films and some that just do not meet our expectations.

Sadly, “Spectre” does not meet expectations, if I can remember that phrase from my company review.

The producers brought in the “A” team too, which makes it worse expectation-wise. Director Sam Mendes recently directed the magnificent Bond film “Skyfall,” which most of us put in the very top tier of the now 24-strong Bond movie book. He had plenty of money to work with too, an estimated $350 million, which anyone will tell you makes a huge stack of cash for any project, much less a movie.

The writers, plural — which often makes for a confused script — all have excellent records. John Logan scripted the just mentioned terrific Bond film “Skyfall.” Neal Purvis had a hand not just with “Skyfall,” but also with what I think might be the best Bond film of all, “Casino Royale.” Robert Wade helped write both of those superlative films, but also the very different and less successful “Quantum of

Solace.” Daniel Craig starred in these three and also in “Spectre.” We find it hard to blame him.

Also coming back as cast members we welcome Ralph Fiennes as the new M, Ben Whishaw as Q and talented, adorable, perky Naomie Harris as Moneypenny. Rory Kinnear, late as Frankenstein’s monster on “Penny Dreadful,” has a small role as a Brit intel officer. And 50-year-old Monica Bellucci appears as the oldest Bond Girl to date. The enormous talent of Christoph Walz as the chief of the bad guys never comes to light. He is used lightly and with a distant demeanor. We have no emotional reaction to his evilness, unlike the better written villains in “Skyfall” and “Casino Royale.”

Beautiful Lea Seydoux plays the daughter of an old Bond foe, tucked safely away in Switzerland until Bond leads the baddies to her. She and Bond fall for each other in one of the least convincing romantic pairings ever.

Loads of money, tested writers, director and cast — What went wrong?

RIM HISTORY RIM OUTDOOR LIFE FOUR-WHEELIN’ BASICS | CHUCK JACOBS

A TRIP TO ASBESTOS POINT In the past few columns, we have been covering the basics of four-wheeling ... talking about you, your vehicle, and the basic stuff you should do and have with you when going out. We even went on a nice, easy afternoon drive out to the Crackerjack Mine, northwest of Payson. Today we are going to switch gears a bit, and take you along for a long, allday trip with the Rim Country 4 Wheelers (RC4W).

The RC4W is a Payson-based four-wheel drive vehicle club with around 50 vehicles and 90 members. Although it is not technically a “Jeep Club,” most members do drive Jeeps. This trip involved 10 vehicles, eight Jeeps, a Suzuki Samurai, and an early-’70s Chevy Blazer.

After assembling in the parking lot in front of the Big 5 store in Payson, seven vehicles pull out at 9 a.m., heading south on Highway 87 to Highway 188 and on down to Roosevelt Lake, where the three other vehicles meet them.

The destination today is Asbestos Point, in the south end of the Sierra Anchas. Although many of you may not know where Asbestos Point is, everyone who has driven the road from Roosevelt to Globe has likely seen it. When looking to the north across the Salt River arm of the lake, the towering cliffs and peaks of the Sierra Anchas dominate the view. Near the top of one of the lesser peaks bright white areas look like rock slides. The two largest connect, looking like a butterfly. If you haven’t seen them before, look for them next time you drive to Globe. These white “rock slides” are actually tailings from a group of old asbestos mines, our destination today.

After crossing the bridge at Roosevelt Dam, the RC4W group travels toward Globe until it reaches the turnoff to Young, Highway 288. We head north on Highway 288, climbing

up out of the desert to a series of mid-level “benches” on the way up into the mountains. At a wide pullout part way up, the group stops to “air down,” dropping their tire pressure down to around 20 psi. Most also disconnect their front sway bars, which allows their front axle to articulate, or flex, more. Lower tire pressure and more flex greatly improves the ride and traction on rugged back-country roads.

After the routine air down and disconnect stop, the group travels a short distance further to the turnoff to Forest Road 289, a narrow, brushy two-track road all too easy to miss.

Now the four-wheeling starts.

FR 289 immediately becomes rough and rocky, so everyone shifts down into low range, crawling through washouts and over rock ledges. Downed trees and large rocks block part of the roadway, and the vehicles must drive over, under, around, and through all kinds of obstacles.

At one point, the vehicles have to pass under a massive dead pine tree, which has fallen across the road from the slope above and lodged in the fork of another large tree on the downhill side. A large vehicle could not get past it, since the road has not been maintained for years. But what the RC4W folks like best. The route follows a small stream up the heavily-wooded canyon, and climbs steeply up the north slope of the ridge, zig-zagging to the top, then crossing over to the south side overlook, where the old mines are.

It takes several hours to cover a few miles. Once at the top, the group is treated to a breathtaking view. Looking at the surface of Roosevelt Lake 4,500 feet below, it’s almost like being in an airplane. You can see for miles. To the southeast, you can see the Pinal Mountains south of Globe as well as the Superstition Mountains

If you’re going to make the trip to Asbestos Point, you will need to pass under this massive downed pine tree that spans the road. Our Jeeps cleared with room to spare, but a large vehicle with a camper or even a roof rack would be out of luck. This picture also makes the road look deceptively easy. Trust me, it’s a rough, rocky, eroded, low-range crawl.

to the southwest. Farther west, Four Peaks and the south end of the Mazatzal Mountains dominate the horizon. Some of the group drive out on the shelf road to the mine entrances themselves so they can stand at the very top of those huge, white tailing piles. As the name implies, these were asbestos mines, so we don’t spend too much time breathing the dust blowing around on this cold, windy day. After an hour of snapping pictures and marveling at the never-ending view, the group heads home. It’s around 1:30 p.m.

It was a long 90-mile trip to get here, and everyone still has

to get back home. The group makes it back to Highway 288, and four vehicles head back down to Roosevelt Lake. The remaining six vehicles head north, for a late lunch/early dinner at the Antlers restaurant in Young. (If you haven’t eaten at the Antlers, you absolutely need to do it. It’s an RC4W favorite, and highly recommended.)

Following an excellent meal, it’s time to head home. The RC4W member from Snowflake heads north on the main road out of Young, while the other five vehicles elect to take FR 200, the Chamberlain Trail, back to meet Highway 260 east of Christopher

Creek, where they air their tires back up and reconnect their sway bars for highway travel. The Payson folks arrive back in town around 6 p.m., tired but happy after a nine-hour, 175-mile day.

The weather was good, the view was superb, lunch was great, and nobody got stuck or had any mechanical problems. Couldn’t be better.

This trip was an example, and not all RC4W day trips are this long, but Arizona is a land of vast distances, and as we often say ... if you wanna see it, you just gotta go there.

Until next time ... Happy Jeepin’.

provided tax credits to the film company, which is the only reason for the location and the very expensive shoot.

Bond kills a bad guy and then seduces his widow (Monica Bellucci) after the funeral, an event as unlikely as it was tasteless. The villain goes way beyond the needful to torture Bond psychologically when a simple bullet

would do. Bond shoots a steam pipe which results in the villain’s hide out going up in a fiery explosion. This might sound like fun, but it feels like a paint by numbers artwork. It is rote, “OK Max, blow something up at 18 minutes in and then at 57 minutes in.” We need to feel something.

We know that people in extreme situations can accelerate

the usual rate of attraction. When things get tense, our emotions slip into high gear. We can believe that Bond and the girl could feel deeply, if quickly, for one another.

We just don’t for a minute believe that there is anything happening emotionally between them in this film.

The makers seem to have taken their direction from the worst of

the Bond films and missed entirely why we like the best Bond films so much.

This very expensive Bond film rates a very modest two and a half saw blades. Daniel Craig has signed for one more Bond movie.

We will see if he wants to carry on after this.

Rumor has it — not so much anymore.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

Ed Vos photo at left; Roundup/Review file photo above

The annual Gem and Mineral Show, at left, is at the Longhorn Gym at the Payson High School campus. It will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 21 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 22. Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland-Johnson, above, is one of the gifted storytellers participating in the annual Tellabration at the PineStrawberry Community Center at 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 21.

Start holiday dash with fun The days of the holiday dash are upon us. This weekend, the Rim Country is rocking with activities — the Payson Rimstones Rock Club Gem & Mineral Show and the annual Tellabration in Pine. Plus there are an assortment of arts and crafts events scheduled (details are on page 2 of this edition of The Rim Review).

GEM & MINERAL SHOW The Gem & Mineral Show, presented by the Payson Rimstones Rock Club, is in a new, family-friendly venue this year. It will be held in Longhorn Gym (the old gym) on the Payson High School campus both Saturday, Nov. 21 and Sunday, Nov. 22.

Admission is $2 per person, with those 12 and under admitted for free. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday.

Members of the Rimstones will have four display cases of specimens on exhibit and at least 18 vendors participating.

Show chairman Margaret Jones said among the vendors will be someone from Arkansas and the White Mountain Gold Prospectors Club. They will all have materials for sale, including specimens, jewelry, materials to make jewelry, equipment, books and more.

The show continues its tradition of offering educational opportunities for those interested. Most are designed for children, but older rock hounds may enjoy them as well.

In the education room, there will be a black light display, sandstone painting, beading and a display on volcanoes.

Anyone can bring in a special mineral find or two for identification by the experts.

The spinning wheel, giving participants a chance at different rock samples, jewelry and more will once again be

part of the event. Just a quarter gets you a chance at a spin and a win (everyone is a winner, Jones said).

Proceeds from the event go toward scholarships for Payson High graduates and other Northern Gila County students.

TELLABRATION IN PINE Enjoy an evening with some of the world’s best storytellers Saturday, Nov. 21 at the Pine Community Center Cultural Hall. Join them for a meet and greet, have dinner with them and then settle in for some great storytelling.

A beef stroganoff dinner will be prepared by Chef George Sanders and will be served at the Senior Dining Room starting at 5 p.m. Dinner tickets are $20 and include a ticket to the storytelling.

To make reservations for the dinner, visit the Pine/ Strawberry Thrift Store or call 928-476-4633. Seating is limited.

Tickets to the storytelling only are $5 and will be sold at the door.

Storytelling begins at 7 p.m. The P/S Community Center is located at 3866 N. Highway 87.

This event is sponsored by the Senior Citizens Affairs Foundation and proceeds benefit the Pine Strawberry Elementary School and the Pine and Strawberry communities.

The Tellers for Tellabration this year are Doug Bland; Don Doyle, who is the evening’s master of ceremonies; Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland-Johnson; Travis May; Liz Warren; and Shela Yu. Tellabration is a worldwide benefit evening of storytelling designed to create a network of storytelling enthusiasts

bonded together in spirit at the same time and on the same weekend.

Tellabration originator J. G. Pinkerton envisioned this international event as a means of building community support for storytelling.

In 1988 the event was launched by the Connecticut Storytelling Center and has expanded across the nation including to Pine-Strawberry.

About the some of the artists DOUG BLAND

Doug Bland is a teacher, writer, environmentalist and pastor at the Tempe Community Christian Church, aka “the Storytelling Church.” Doug has received awards for producing multi-cultural, interfaith storytelling concerts.

In 2011 he was the recipient of a national conservation fellowship that allowed him to protect the Sonoran Desert through the power of storytelling.

Bland understands the power of stories — as a professor of storytelling at the South Mountain Community College, as the Founder of Arizona Interfaith Power and Light (AZIPL), and as a pastor at Community Christian Church.

DON DOYLE

Doyle is a nationally recognized storyteller, workshop leader, actor, director of theater and opera. Dr. Doyle, a professor of theater for 29 years has been a recipient of many awards for leadership, achievement and contributions in dramatic arts, storytelling and education.

It is through his efforts the Tellabration event has been celebrated in Pine.

The annual Payson Rimstones Rock Club’s 2015 Gem and Mineral Show this weekend, Nov. 21 and 22, is at a new family-friendly venue, the Longhorn Gym on the Payson High campus.

Admission is $2 person, with 12 and under admitted for free.

PS Tellabration a treat for all Rim residents CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 DEE “BUCKSHOT DOT” STRICKLAND-JOHNSON

Dee is better known in storytelling circles at Buckshot Dot and calls herself, “Younger than springtime; older than dirt.”

Born in Flagstaff, she grew up on the Navajo and Hualapai reservations and at Petrified Forest National Monument.

She also was a teacher at Payson High School a number of years ago.

Dot is an Arizona Culture Keeper, has opened for Lyle Lovett, and been an AWA (Academy of Western Artists) Female Cowboy Poet of the Year. Dot’s book, “Arizona Women: Weird, Wild and Wonderful” was named Western Music Association’s Cowboy Poetry Book of the Year. Both it and “Arizona Herstory: Tales From Her Storied Past” have been awarded the Will Rogers Medallion Award by AWA. They are both illustrated with Dot’s drawings and scratch boards from historical photographs. Other books are “Cowman’s Wife” and “First Roundup.”

She has been featured at The National Auditory Theater Festival, National Society of Poetry for Therapy, the AZ Lecture Series, and Goldwater Lecture series, etc., and has around the country, in Canada, and the British Isles.

Dot has recorded five albums. Her song, “Old Hank Morgan’s Place” from the CD “Buckaroo Bonanza,” was a finalist for AWA’s Cowboy Song of the Year and has been recorded by Jean Prescott.

LIZ WARREN

The Arizona Bard of Mythic Tales, Liz Warren is a storyteller, teacher and award-winning recording artist.

Warren, a fourth-generation Arizonan, is a storyteller, teacher, writer and co-founder of the South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute in Phoenix.

Her recorded version of “The Story of the Grail” received a Parents Choice Recommended award in 2004 and a Storytelling World award in 2006. In June 2007, she was a featured teller at the Dublin Yarnspinners and at Cultra, the annual storytelling festival of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Belfast.

Information was not available for May or Yu. Editor’s note: Organizers advise the program is most suitable for those 13 and older and not something for young children, who may become startled or bored by the stories the artists are sharing and possibly create a distraction for other audience members.

Be kind and keep this in mind when planning an evening at the annual Tellabration at the Pine Strawberry Community Center Cultural Hall.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your ruling planet, Mars, allows you to assume a sense of command that can help you turn a chaotic workplace situation into one that’s orderly, productive and, yes, even friendly.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting a relationship that’s been stuck in a rut up and running again depends on how far you want to run with it. Be honest with yourself as you consider which decision to make.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be wary of rumors that seem to be coming from everywhere this week. Waiting for the facts before you act means never having to say you’re sorry you followed the wrong lead.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A difficult personal matter might prompt you to turn to a trusted friend to help you sort through a maze of emotional conflicts. The weekend should bring some welcome news.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some of the new people coming into the Lion’s life could play pivotal roles in future personal and professional matters. Meanwhile, an old friend might have an important message.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A delay in getting things moving on schedule can be a blessing in disguise. Use this extra time to do more research so you can buttress any of the weaker points with solid facts.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might need to get involved in a personal matter before it becomes a serious problem. Also, be wary of someone offering to mediate, unless you can be sure of his or her motives.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Taking sides in a workplace or domestic dispute could prolong the problem. Stay out and stay cool. Then you can be friends with both parties when things settle down.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A friendship has the potential to become something more, and with this week’s aspects favoring romance, you might feel that this possibility is worth exploring.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The new job you want might require you to relocate. If so, keep an open mind and weigh all the positives and negatives before making your decision.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new relationship seems to be everything you could have hoped for.

Congratulations. Meanwhile, it’s not too early to get some feedback on that new project you’re working on.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might have decided to get out of the fast-moving current and just float around hither and yon for a while. But you might find that the new opportunity is too tempting to turn down.

BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in bringing out the best in people with kind deeds, loving words and recognition of their “special” selves. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
