Kingman, Arizona to Barstow, California
Leave at 8am arrive approximately 6pm
Well today started with letting everyone sleep in for an
extra hour. We pulled out of the Motel in Kingman at 9am and headed to
Oatman, AZ. What a great ride through some fantastic country. Here
are just a few pictures taken at the summit .
If you look in the group pictures you can see a little of the road but you can't
really tell how narrow it is and how sharp the 180 degree corners were. It
was the trip of a life time for
Virginia 'Little Tank"
Staeger. She is not brand new at riding but had never road on anything
but flat land, no mountains, no little roads without guard rails and great big
drop offs. She wasted no time telling me about it.
and she will want to kick my butt for posting all these pictures. Her
husband Roy
was a proud of her as I was.
Just about 8 miles on down the road from the Summit is
Oatman. I didn't take many pictures outside because I had ordered a small
Peach Fry Bread and because it was early in the morning, it took them a long
time to get my food
then it took a long time to eat my food, a big thank you to Page Parrish III for
helping finish that thing off. Now just enjoy some of the pictures I took
in the Saloon.

From Oatman we headed to Needles, CA where it was only
about 95 degrees and as we headed into the
Mojave Desert the tempature dropped a little and it never got really hot all the
way to Amboy, CA.
We
took a short break at Roy's in Amboy then on to Ludlow, Ca were we took a longer
break and enjoy cold drinks and a little food.

We arrived in Barstow
about
5pm and relaxed until 6:30, then everyone gathered to go to the Sizzler Steak
House. It was in walking distance, however there was on little problem a
fence was in the way. This group would not let a little thing like that
stop them
I do find it interesting that we did this at the Taco Bell. Here are most
of the group that crawled through the fence. Can you all say illegal?
This is all my people, they look like they just crawled out of the U-Haul.
On the way back they did the same thing.

Now enjoy a few pictures during supper.
