Arrived in the scenic hamlet of Fort Mohave, Az

Ah, yet another lovely five hour drive through the Mohave Desert.  It is not in bloom, excluding brittle bush, and we have zillions of those in our back yard.  We ate lunch at the crossroads restaurant in Parker, az.   Got to the hotel in time to check in with hundreds of girls, ages 6-18, who are here for a regional soccer tournament.   Wish I had autographed posters of my niece Adelaide with me ;). I could have made her some money selling her poster.

We are, as of 5 pm, the only vintage Japanese bike in the parking lot.

We should have lots of photos tomorrow at this time, once we get back and I can connect.  It appears our route will be through Oatman, Az up and over the hills to Kingman, lunch and then home.   (To my brother and his family, Oatman is famous for very few things, mostly famous for Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spending their honeymoon night there.   There are also wild donkeys that roam the streets now, fed carrots by tourists, the burros are descendants of burros abandoned by prospectors when they quit mining.)

Warm out right now, at least 85, with the traditional gentle Mohave 30 mph breezes.

Yet another photo of the wonders of the Mohave ;)
