We broke camp Sunday morning and hustled to get all our gear into place.
garething managed to secure a ride with SA, so we didn't have to worry about carrying him or his stuff.
After a lunch and last quick run around the merchants, I discovered the worst garb in the history of garb-for-sale. Of course I bought it!
ya_inga wanted to set fire to it when I showed it to her. Exactly the sort of reaction I was looking for (provided no open flames are present)!
We drove back to Phoenix to drop off a chunk of the gear, did a small amount of visiting, then took off for our planned destination of Boulder City.
Two points of interest: The first was Wickenberg, where
thekillerb69 found a skullcap made of the same material as my new awful garb! Clearly it was meant to be. Also, we were told to watch out for aliens. We didn't see any, but we did see a place advertising alien jerky.
The next was Wikieup, where we were promised the best Southern BBQ to be found in Arizona. Naturally it was closed so we went to another little diner that was covered, floor to ceiling, with diner's graffiti. Also the owners had plastered the place with anti-Obama stuff. It was ridiculously over-the-top. Decent diner fair though, also, they stayed open to accommodate us since we got there about five minutes before they closed and we unknowingly dawdled.
We didn't actually make it to Boulder City mind you, we stopped short in Kingman because it was getting late, finding the second best hotel stay of the trip - we got a three bed suite so that
thekillerb69,
othelianna and I didn't have to share or use cots. Also the room was huge, comfortable and had free wifi!
