It's located in a high mountain desert area near a confluence of natural features; desert flatlands, desert hills and hoodoos, colorful sandstone rock formations, and a large lake next to a forested mountain. |

− | [ | + | Arco Station & Retreat was Founded by Rodak Arco and Raphael de la Varga with a Recommendation from Zachary Hepplewhite of [[Hepplewhite's Circus and Grand Revue]]. The main purpose of the Arco Station is as a Home Base for the Adventurers' Society, led by Raphael de la Varga, and as a Residence for the Arco Boys, led by Rodak Arco, and their families, and the newly added [[Rickenbacker Flying Circus]] and attached Support Staff. |

When the [[Rickenbacker Flying Circus]], led by Eddie Rickenbacker, Harry Hartz, and Earnst Udet, with their Racing Teams and Airshows joined Arco Station, at the 'recommendation' of Zachary Hepplewhite and with the approval of Raphael de la Varga, more Race Tracks and Stands were added in the empty desert flatlands surrounding Arco Station. The Airshows were easily integrated into Arco Station and Retreat's Official Opening and Performances; however, the construction of the Race Tracks took more time as ALL of the Race Tracks at Arco Station are Dug-in Arenas, as are the Fighting Pits and any other Attraction that are bound to cause a lot of noise for the nearby Town and Residences. | When the [[Rickenbacker Flying Circus]], led by Eddie Rickenbacker, Harry Hartz, and Earnst Udet, with their Racing Teams and Airshows joined Arco Station, at the 'recommendation' of Zachary Hepplewhite and with the approval of Raphael de la Varga, more Race Tracks and Stands were added in the empty desert flatlands surrounding Arco Station.

==Era & Themes, General Feel & Esthetic== | ==Era & Themes, General Feel & Esthetic== | ||
The general Esthetic of Arco Station might be called ''American Vintage''. All of the permanent structures and features; buildings, race tracks, parks, etc., have a look and feel of the 1930's and 40's Era America on an Earth World, despite everything being engineered and built to much higher standards and with much better building materials. | The general Esthetic of Arco Station might be called ''American Vintage''.

− | The general Theme of Arco Station's Attractions | + | The general Theme of Arco Station's Attractions are part Vintage Motorcycle Racing and part Fantasy Renaissance Faire, all with a bit of Modern Post-Apocalypse thrown in for fun. There are Race Tracks outside of the Downtown area with many Pavilion Tents setup in areas leading up to and around the track area that look part Ren-Fest and part Post-Apocalyptic Camp with Fighting Pits hosting Combat Displays to watch and canvas tents hosting Performers, Artists and Vendors, most with Services or Wares for sale. |
Despite the high energy nature of many of the Attractions, the general Feel of Arco Station & Retreat is ''relaxed''; without a hint of 'city hustle' present, it's obvious the Citizens tend to take their time, in general. Also, Visitors tend to slow down and take more time to enjoy the sites and sounds in and around Arco Station when visiting the area. | Despite the high energy nature of many of the Attractions, the general Feel of Arco Station & Retreat is ''relaxed''; without a hint of 'city hustle' present, it's obvious the Citizens tend to take their time, in general.

This means that both the Performance Area (race track, fighting pit, etc.) and the Stands for Spectators, are dug into the ground looking much like an miniature to small Open Pit Mine. There are several reasons for this, the Esthetic being one reason, and keeping the sound of the Attractions from traveling across the desert flatlands and disturbing the general peace and quiet of the nearby Town and Residences. |

**Bruce and Phyllis make friends easily and are happy to strike-up a conversation, share a fishing or camping tip and assist others if they can. They are generous and often 'adopt' young campers, singles and young couples, especially those with young children, and make sure they are doing okay and usually end up feeding them. Phyllis was not too pleased about some of the 'bikers' and 'hotrodders' that camped near them a little too often for her liking, but Bruce scoffed and said, 'They're just people. Like you and me.' When she found this to be true she began inviting some of them over for dinner... she now has any number of 'tough guys' calling her 'mom' while washing the dishes after dinner. | **Bruce and Phyllis make friends easily and are happy to strike-up a conversation, share a fishing or camping tip and assist others if they can.

**Bruce and Phyllis are most often found at the Lake Campgrounds area or any number of other Camping Sites or Rough Sites in and around the Scenic Areas outside Arco Station itself. They come into Town regularly for supplies, though not frequently and do ''not'' attend any of the Attractions ''except'' the Airshows. They can usually be encountered at the Grocery Store, Hardware Store, Department Store and Arco Service Station. They can sometimes be found at the Diner, Steakhouse or Bowdark's BBQ... but only if those establishments aren't too busy. | **Bruce and Phyllis are most often found at the Lake Campgrounds area or any number of other Camping Sites or Rough Sites in and around the Scenic Areas outside Arco Station itself.
