tag - we're here

Yes these sorry butts have successfully crossed the country and are now in Needles Ca. After leaving Flagstaff we went through the beautiful National Forests and then right back to flat plains and Indian reservations. This land is unelievable!!! We were riding along and only about 7 miles out of Kingman AZ - for those of you who remember....Clark Gable and Carol Lombard got married here....when the lightening Gods struck I mean there must of been 12 strikes of lightening at one time....I though I was on the boat!!! Mayday and all of that crap...oops I forgot I was on land so we stopped and quickly put on our foul weather gear (a slight bit too late) and forged on to Kingman and some lunch. Yes it was one of those decisions, stay at McDonalds for the day or continue on.....yep we ate and went. A few more sprinkles and then WAM the desert heat hit. I mean like a hundred degrees - this is more than our New England deodorant can handle heat!!!! Anyway we went through the most challenging stretch of mountain road - it was like you could almost see the skulls and scalps hanging on broken arrows along the way ...I wish you could see the raw magnificence of this place. Then we went through Oatman AZ This is a true Old West mining town with wooden plank sidwalks and burrows walking around. How cool and totally unbelievable. After that it was over the colorado river and on the California. Tag we are here and lots of time for playing in the "wish we all could be california girls" state. Note....some interesting road names.....Blind Smith County Tx. 2 guns road Az . twin arrow road Az. devil dog Az. tombstone Rd Az - what a country - what a trip.....very hot flame....and sweaty Big Dog
