Vegas Can Wait

This is somewhere in Kingman on our way to a hike.

We opted to stay one more day in Kingman. We found a campground in Vegas from the 3rd til the 7th. Adults only. Woohoo. So, today we set off to take a hike. John found one and we headed over. It really was a beautiful day. The trailhead was called White Cliff Wagon Wheel. As we were driving I decided to get my hair cut at great clips–because I saw one and my hair was driving me nuts. I should have done this before I left for vacation. I really don’t like to use places like this but, John wouldn’t cut it so. Anyway, it came out ok. It definitely feels better.

Hair cut and off we went. The first set of directions took us up the mountains and onto this horrible dirt road only to come to the end on the wrong side of I-40. Looked like they filled in the underpass so we had to go back and drive all around to another underpass to get there. Luckily it was a beautiful day and we had nothing better to do. I must say, this trip has been so relaxing.

  • This is on private property (well at the entrance) Not sure if the car had those bullet holes before they placed it there or if they used the car for target practice.

After this trail we headed into the historic town of Kingman where route 66 runs through. It is an adorable town. That’s where the quilt stores were. I got a picture of Connies and of course a video driving down. There was also a Santa Fe engine and Caboose at a park. John had to go inside the engine.

I made a short video driving down the road in Kingman. https://youtu.be/qstI4PWmHW8

After spending the day just tooling around we went back to camp where John hung out with our host and I continued to update our blog and facebook and all that stuff. I was working. Then we sat on our hosts front porch and watched the quail–waiting for a roadrunner who never made his appearance. We also had a visit from a desert wren.

And that was pretty much our day.
