11 May 2012

A decent stretch between two very steep and rough parts of this dirt road.  The Valley is the North end of where Kingman lays, and over the mountain is Dolan Springs, and Hwy 93 to Lake Mead and Las Vegas

The first part was challenging, but the second part was even more steep and rocky.  
Coming down was tricky too.  Too steep and loose to leave it in gear without breaking the tires loose, so feathered the brakes and slid down.  Ed and Carl were waiting at the bottom.

Ed is buying their weekly lottery tickets from Ron, owner of Roger's Market in Meadview City.  This is a weekly routine.  Ron is a NASCAR fan and all 'round good guy.

Indian 1 is the road that goes out to the Glass Skywalk over the Canyon

North Stockton Hill Road, near Pierce Ferry Road.  March 2011 a husband and wife on a Harley was forced off the road here.  The rider died, his wife recovered.  The pickup driver that did it is still in jail waiting for trial. It was some sort of personal vendetta.  Too bad.
