Day 6 - Kingman to Topock

We assembled at 9:00 at the Power House Visitor Center downtown Kingman.  A black and white police car led us out of town.  There were over 700 cars there and we just happened to be second in line on our journey to Topock on the Arizona/California border. As we went along, other cars jumped in the convoy and it was quite a sight.   We went through McConnico, Goldroad, and stopped in Oatman.  The road had a lot of curves and switchbacks.  As it was rainy, we had to keep the top up so I could not get the best pictures.  If you click on a picture they will enlarge. If you notice the guard rails are sometimes, cable, rock or not at all.   Look for the line of cars behind us.  Totally Awesome!!!!








Bob and Sherran were behind us in their Jeep.




 




We had a warning not to trespass.



People were sitting along the road taking pictures.

No Guardrail!









Colorado Gold Mine.  Bob said in it's heyday, they had armed guards walking the fence line.




Then we came to the town of Oatman.  Where donkeys roam the streets.  The store owners have them trained to come and eat treats.









The donkey loved Sherran until she ran out of food. 

At Golden Shore, they had a cut out for the end of the run.  Awesomeness.




We travelled on to Topock on the Colorado River/Arizona border and ate.



Back to Kingman to spend the night and get ready to continue our Journey......

We left our motor home at Grand Lake and spent a few days at Pat and Mike's home in Broken Arrow.  Astrid caught a ride with Michelle's in-laws, Mark and Cheryl, who also have an RV.  They were visiting Scott and Michelle and was passing our way on their way to Branson for a Rally.  Pat and Mike's granddaughter, Madison, is Astrid's age and they had a lot of fun.  They put miles on a little scooter. And had a sleep over.

Mayberry, North Carolina

We made a side trip to Mt. Airy, North Carolina.  This is where Andy Griffith was born and the Andy Griffith Show was fashioned after this town.  We toured the Andy Griffith Museum.  It was a trip down memory lane.  It was amazing how much we remembered form those shows. It was a fun stop and recommend for you to stop by if you are in the area! We went up one side and down the other side of Main Street and ate at Barney's. Floyds Barber Shop was closed....
