Nice work, FJRobert! Tomorrow morning on way to Jacob Lake, I'll grind on the others until they get registered for Laughlin!!
UR...You know that old hwy 93 is dirt right? And not just dirt but last time I was on it it was not really all there.If taking the long way does not interest everyone, you can still turn off on Old Highway 93 (193) towards Kingman about 4 miles before you reach I-40, then turn off on 259 (DW Ranch Rd), which will lead you to Hualapal (wall-a-pie) Mountain Rd 147. This will run straight into Business Loop 40 which is Historic Route 66 and take it through Oatman. Still make a stop at Mister D’s and still ride a nice part of Old 66 and the twisties. Total distance this way is about 178 miles from Wickenburg to Laughlin.
This would be very nice indeed. I have been wanting to take the road from Ash Springs down into the canyon --Hualapai indian reservation. Last time, (this trip(clicky) I was turned away after a bit of the dirt road. Nice lady and all, but I could not persuade her to bend the rules and let me go. I'd very much like to do this this -perhaps with the zonies' mojo in the mix it can happen this time.Rather than spend so much boring time riding I-40, a nicer ride to take would be take sr89 out of Wickenburg to Ashfork and then pick up Historic Route 66. You can Route 66 from Ashfork, all the way to Oatman and then cut down through Bullhead City on 155. It will be a little further, but it's a great ride. And November will be perfect. Once you leave Kingman staying on 66, you'll go down some road where you can crank open the throttle if desired and then the last 22 miles before Oatman will be really tight twisties. Although the road is narrow and mistakes can be costly. Just before leaving Kingman on 66 you'll pass by Mister-D's café that has great food (and sundaes & banana-splits). For those that have not ridden this part of Old Route 66, it's a lot of fun and good nostalgic history.
That answer entirely depends on how many peyote plants we stumble across while out chasing windmills. The desert can make man void of time, and vice versa ....so really, no telling. Just one of those things that you have to do to find out.If I was to loan my Kawi KLR 650 to SkooterG, how thoroughly lost do you think you can get him in the Mt. Nutt Wilderness?
Looks like I may be coming through your crib. --->If you're going to start riding with forum folks, might as well start with me -and work your way up from there.I'm booked for fri and sat. This will be my first trip with any forum people so this should be fun. I'm riding down from Prescott Valley to Wickenburg so if anyone is coming by way of 89 thru Prescott let me know and I will ride with you. LET THE FUN BEGIN
