Craig Scott visit

Desert Riders, Pat & Sherm.  Taken Oct 30 near the West End of the Grand Canyon.  Picture taken by Craig Scott.

Motorcycle friendly. They sponsor a run up here every Spring

The General Store at the Resort

Pat and Craig. Early Sunday morning getting ready for breakfast at 6500 feet.

There were 7 Elk right outside the window where we ate.  6 Cows and one young Bull

All the food was fresh and excellent!  The cheese blintz were light and fluffy, and served with strawberries and whipped cream.  We didn't (couldn't) try everything, if we wanted to be able to walk out.  We all ate too much anyway.  The gravy was spicy and full of sausage.

After a mediocre dinner at the Hot Rod Cafe last night, this totally made up for it!

Instead fo plastic jam packets, we had our choice of several flavors in individual jars.

We all had a free floor show!  The young bull was in rut, and did his best to impress the ladies.  They were able to disappoint him, but it was funny watching their actions play out.

The reactions of the other diners was a funny as watching the Elk.

Good sign. But the is the second time we've been here to eat, and the service was much above average both times

The welcoming committee leader

Craig in a Palm forest.  I took a couple good pictures of him out front of the Mystic Munchie on the Harley, but the the camera must have been set wrong, because the aren't on the memory card..Bummer.............

We all had fresh smoothies, and Craig ordered a sandwich to go.  The Smoothies were delicious.  We were still full from breakfast, so wasn't interested in eating anything.

The Desert Oasis was still as good as the other times we've been there.

I took a picture of this before, but find it pretty.  It's an Assembly of God church in Dolan Springs.  This is around noon on Sunday, they must have had an early service, or a very small congregation.

8500 foot peak behing the Hualapai Mountain Resort.  It's very crisp and beautiful up there.  16 miles from our house, 12.5 miles up the hill from downtown Kingman

Our pet Quail come visit every day.  The big Owl is keeping watch to make sure they don't fall off the roof.  There are about a dozen that make a regular lap of the fence and roof.

Craig Scott.  VROC friend from Edmundton, Alberta stopped by for a visit.

A short trip over Sitgreaves Pass to Oatman.  Craig is shooting a wild burro.

This little guy is too young to eat carrots, but is trying his best to get one from Craig.

Click to read if you're interested.  The honeymoon suite is upstairs.  It's closed for now due to renovating to make it safe for tourists to go up there.  We've been up stairs several times, and was perfectly safe :-)

A Remington? or, maybe just a Winchester...

Craig checking out the dollar Bar

The Dining room in the Oatman Hotel

Thousands of dollars on the walls and ceiling in the Oatman.

Fanny was a good ol' girl!

The Dust Witch Gallery.  Nothing magical here, just One Old, Tired, Mean Woman!

An old Fordson tractor.  Very cool!

Oatman was busy today.  The Goldroad mine has re-opened.  Because of the price of gold, it's paying to put it back in operation.  About a half mile out of town.

Let's see...which is the Canadian.....

Awww, that's the one!

Lots of interesting places in the approximately 4 blocks of down town Oatman

This is on the side of the Oarhouse.

If you look closely (or click the picture) you can see several wild burros down there.  We're several miles out of town now.  The hill are full of them.

Maybe we don't have tiny deer walking the streets of Kingman, but just a few miles out of town we have Mountain Goats.  These are wild animals on the hill between Kingman and Oatman.

Scenery

More scenery.  This is the original Route 66 going out of Arizona into California.  The Main street in Oatman was part of The Mother Road

The Hot Rod Cafe advertised an "all you can eat" dinner of ribs, chicken, corn or the cob, potatoes and beans. We got plenty to eat, but don't think we'll go back.

The cook came out and said she had just made peach cobbler.  Not bad, but didn't make up for the other food.  At least it was a fun time.  We enjoyed visiting, and the things in the cafe are real cool.  The very young waitress was nice, but sort of baffled. :-)  All good except the main course...
