Have 4x4s! Will travel! Below: this photo was taken at the Parker 4 Wheeler's Desert Splash. Even Rock Buggies and well setup
rigs have a difficult time with this particular challenge. The P4Ws put on an outstanding event always held the 2nd weekend every
November with runs from mild to wild. It is very family friendly. The youngsters all have a lot of fun with this group. The trailbosses
are excellent. Runs are held Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night a great dinner, followed by a raffle with many
outstanding prizes.
Phil White, former B4W member, took this photo on a jaunt to Christmas Tree Pass. To get to this extraordinary petroglyph
site, when leaving Laughlin, NV, take Highway 163 west approximately 5 miles. On the right will be a sign for Christmas Tree Pass
(you're not given much notice, so be prepared for a quick right turn). This will put you on a well-maintained dirt road. Go about
two miles and there will be another sign on the left indicating a turnoff and parking area for the glyphs. There is a short hike with
a wash on the right. You will arrive at canyon walls on both sides of the wash, and on these walls you'll find many, many beautiful
petroglyphs. It's well worth a drive in your passenger car. A big plus, there are nicely maintained pit toilets courtesy
of the park service.
Below. View from the back side of the arch. This is the largest natural arch in Mohave County with a span of 138 feet and
is located in the Mt. Nutt Wilderness area. Four wheel drive is recommended to reach the parking site. It's a bit of a strenuous hike
and is difficult to locate since it can not be seen from the road. We are aware of three names that all refer to the arch:
The Secret Pass Arch; The Hualapai Arch and Big Horn Sheep Arch. Kingman BLM has directions. Best to hike it in cooler weather. Remember
to watch for critters and take plenty to drink. Thanks to Coley Bibeau for the photo--April 30, 2010.
We volunteer for many cleanups and projects on our Public Lands. We've collected as much as 27 tons of trash in one day. Shown below
we collected 16+ tons of trash working with the Kingman BLM and ERACE (Environmental Rural Area Cleanup Enforcement). It took the
group just over four hours to accomplish the task. It's sad to report, but we always collect tons of garbage and pounds of spent
shells.
The following photos show portions of artist Roy Purcells well-known murals at the Ghost Town of Chloride about an hour's drive from
Kingman heading toward Las Vegas. The mining town was established in the 1870s producing an abundance of silver. There
are some interesting places to explore in this neat little town. If you're hungry there is a unique eatery called Yesterday's Restaurant.
Just make sure they're open before you go. If you have a group they will try to accommodate you and may open just for you - give them
notice beforehand. The food is excellent!! The service equally so.
