Oatman & Hackberry Store

Nice ride today to Oatman and Hackberry.  Put 146 miles total on "The Mother Road" today.  Went with VROC members Ed and Carl Anderson from Kingman.  A fine day!

This girl got sprayed with the store owners water jug, she wanted in to smooze the customers.

The Burro's liked the XT.

Carl has a tummy full of Navajo Tacos!

Most of the stores have unusual names.  The run they are referring to here is the Laughlin Run that takes place this coming weekend.  Three will be lots of bikes in town.

I couldn't get Ed and Carl to stand behind the sign boards.  Neither one wanted to be the girl.

We're on the cutting edge.  Already have one of these from Yuma.

Will have to bring Julie here for a new sweater.

Highway History

Duh....here we are!

Bullet hole in this one

This is a pretty long stretch of the Old Road

Kingman is one of the larger cities still in operation on the Old Road.

A new sign.  Kingman is growing since a new wing was added to the Hospital, AND the bridge over lake Mead is finished, making it only about 1.5 hours to Las Vegas.

A Landmark.  Good place to eat.

This is were we stay when we're in Kingman

Ed and Carl's house

In the Shade of the old Joshua Tree

This house is for sale for a bargain price.  It has MANY nice features.  You can't see from this shot, but it's a triple wide, the kitchen is another unit on the side you can't see.  Also large garage and work shop.  Pretty nice, but the colors aren't right for Pat.

$3.68 for regular.  About the same as Yuma

Hackberry Store, one of my favorite places to visit.

Been here on many different bikes.  It's always fun

They are preparing for a busy weekend, two large Motorcycle events happening pretty close, and they will be riding on Route 66

This lady has been sitting out there for a long time

A new coffee and snack area in the store

Behind the counter

The owners son.  They were out of Route 66 Rootbeer in the case, so he brought this one out for a picture

A few changes, but mostly the same people here

I've seen a similar picture of the Boulevard in many places.  I've always liked this one the best

Marilyn keeping an eye on things

Judy Garland, Liz Taylor and the Beatles.  Among others........

This guitar is for sale

A 1938 juke box that still works

A good place to sit and visit during the winter

It's also the dog's bed

Every year the vehicles seem to change.  This old Edsel adds some class

Back of the store

I had a 48 F100 like this when I first started driving in 1956

A nice collage

The Outpost is a wild place, between Kingman and Hackberry

The overhead is full of antiques

Outlaws at the Outpost

Southern Pacific

We had to go back to the house in Kingman to pick up a spare camera, my battery went dead.  Pat came out to greet "the boys"

Nice bump in the desert

Cool Springs..Cool place

From the looks of those flags, it's windy

T-shirt at Cold Springs

Table Rock

The desert is in bloom

Paper flowers

It's more green here than in Yuma

Lots of bikes on the road.  Mostly all Harley Davidson

The Mobile Man

Nice Breeze

More Oatman burros

We got there at high noon.  A gun fight was going on

The piano player in the cafe

Carl waiting for his lunch

Last time we were here, Ed had a hot dog.  He's coming up in the world with a cheeseburger

Carl's Navajo Taco.  The fry bread is thick and heavy..and the chili is wonderful

Outside out window

My usual, since Romy had one of these a few years ago.  Heavy fry bread topped with lots of ice cream, peaches and whipped cream..It's totally yummy.  We didn't even stay for dessert!

Inside

Fast Fanny sells things

Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spent their wedding night here.  They were married in Kingman, and drove over the hill to their favorite Hide a way.  Their room is closed for renovation now, but we've been inside it before.  Neat place

Yes, Classy

If I was a hat person, I'd buy one of these

My battery is about dead, will finish later
