Oatman 30 April 21

                         Nice morning for a Rebel Ride.  After  listening to Roger

                    Naylor's Podcast, it made me want to ride to Oatman. 

                    Besides, there is a week old Burro I'd like to see.

                        lf you need your Packard serviced, this is the place!

                        One of our Route 66 Groomers.

Little too early for Burgers and Fries

New sign this year at the Power House Visitor Center

                        

Cool Springs, starting up into the Black Mountains

Cactus in Bloom all over the Desert

A bump in the ground

I brought this new US Flag out here about 3 weeks ago.  It's already 
starting to shred on the end.  Lots of wind here last week.

They are just getting set up for the day.

One of the straighter stretches of the Mountain Road

You can't see it from here, but there is a Spring up there.  
Has Gold Fish in it.  Every year a little different, vegetation
and rocks change.

The Pond has been here for many years. Well, probably always.

A new plaque someone put up recently

Long way down to the bike.  Maybe not too many
more years for me to climb up here!

Closer to the turn out.

The Pass.  California and Nevada off in the distance.

Great Motorcycle Road

There are several Springs along the way. Depending on how
much rain there's been, sometimes they flow until late summer.
Its been so dry for the last couple of years, there's no water
running now.

Rebel 1100 fits in with the rest of the Burros.  The Baby isn't around
yet.   These are wild, and roam around in and out of town.  You never
know which ones well be here.  Just means another ride soon to see 
if she's out and about.

One of the restaurants.  I'll eat here today.

2 bucks for coffee, soda, or water.

Piano man was good

Used to be a bar.  Now, just serves ice cream

Looks like a deer just bagged a hunter

Navajo Taco.  Frybread covered with taco meet, seasoned 
Pinto beans, Lettuce and cheese.  Salsa and sour cream.
I've sampled many of these.  This was right up there with one
of the best.  Great flavor and the bread was just right.
Being pretty hungry always helps the quality too.
