June 2nd ride

West of Kingman.  Kenny and I were looking for the old Camp Beale.

Temperature was hovering at 100 degrees.  Too hot for the rattle snakes to be out in the sun.  Just right for desert rats.

Interesting.....

I think there is another way to get in there, but it was too hot to spend a lot of time looking

This sign is on Hwy 93 coming in from Las Vegas.

In 12 miles we climbed from 3,333 feet to 6,800 feet.  It's 80 cool degrees up here on the top of the Hualapai Mountains.

We sat on the patio and had a soda pop.  There was live music playing over in the Bar/Restaurant.  Very pleasant up there.

The little Dual Sports do everything good.  Make riding a pleasure.

A Squirrel named Rocky.  He came up and sat next to us. The store owner brought him out some nuts.  A happy Squirrel.

There were tiny humminbirds flitting around in the tree above us.  This is some other kind. A lady told us what it is, but I don't remember the name of it.

One of the straight stretches.  Lots of Mountainous curves on this road

A working water windmill pump

That tank is about half-full.  It's lined with cement

The piping must be underground and the valves located somewhere else. I didn't see any on the outside of the tank

Not a lot, but a steady stream coming from the pump.  The honey bees seemed to like it

A Texas made windmill in Arizona

80 to 100 in about 15 minutes as we came back down to the Kingman town elevation.
