... And Tina Marie!
Tina's visit pleasantly coincided with a rare weekend of non-work (for her) and the last weekend here (for me). So I took her to see the Hualapai (Who-all-uh-pie) Mtn Park, just half an hour from the valley but a world away. Breezes thru pine needles sound like rushing water; trees with bark that smells like a freshly opened bottle of McCormick's Vanilla; and not the least, it's about ten degrees cooler up there. It was a great 24 hours. We named rocks and trees, squished appy spots, and did the general all-around descriptions as only we can. Here is some proof:
Boulder Holders:
Heart-shaped rock:
Bushwhacker Cabin: (can't take credit for that)
Stone Cabin (you can rent these - cool!)
The highest peak:
More view from the hilltop:
...and another heart-shaped rock:
The Beer Cave at the Gas N Grub:
This huge bear trap is almost 2 feet wide and over 200 years old, someone thought it would be cool to display this torturous weapon, stamped "Grizzly No.6" - I call it the Beer Trap. It seems more fitting, and less depressing that way.
Tina finds Condom Rock: (aka Crystal Point) (it really did look like other quartz rocks we saw) Ew.
Ye Olde Hawg Shoppe, Route 66 in Old Town Kingman:
And, at the end of the day,taking pictures of the Ham and Cheeses on French Toast: (yes, they love to pose)
