The Adventure's of April - Day 8

On Monday afternoon, Nan, Melissa, Nathan, and myself, all went and explored the small town of Chloride... It was quite the experience to say the least. It was about an hour drive from Kingman, through some pretty parts of the area. 


Our first stop was a little gift shop right on the edge of town where we all found a few goodies. 


Saw this little sign in the shop, got a kick out of it ;p

Joshua trees are all over this part of Arizona

I love these pink flowering cacti

Nathan built the most epic of rock piles while we were exploring the wilderness.

We saw sooo many quail all over the place while in Arizona, 
 We found this lady's place along the street while driving around town, and she had quite the yard art! She has a huge, huge, collection of things she has gathered over the years and turned into artwork of all kinds.

 Most of the town was closed up, since they get most of their business during the summer months. But we still drove around and had a good time looking at all the old and "antique" stuff everywhere. 




The Dumbo of the mule deer family :P 

We think this was a mini version of the town set up in someones yard.




After we drove all over Chloride and felt we had seen all there was to see, we decided to head home. 
The sun was just going down behind the mountains as we pulled in. 



The guys grilled us some tasty burgers and hot dogs for supper, it was a great way to end a relaxing and fun day together.
