Kingman, AZ

On our Hoover Dam trip, we had stopped for lunch at Boulder City when we were through. We found a little spot called Milo’s Wine Bar which, as it turned out, made fabulous sandwiches and salads. We all enjoyed it so much that we decided to have lunch there again on Monday. Taking separate cars, the four of us met and had a wonderful last meal together before saying goodbye. One aspect of the life we lead is that we have friends all over the world with whom we stay in touch by email. But, we never really know if or where we might see them again. And so it is with Steve and Patricia who, in their classic yacht Equus, sailed alongside us through the worst of the piracy areas in the Gulf of Aden, sailed down the coast of India with us until their spinnaker blew up, and arrived in Langkawi just a couple of days after us. We had a fun two days with them in Las Vegas and we look forward to being in the same hemisphere again with them in future.

We left Boulder City after making some repairs to the small cooler we carry for lunches, wine, etc. Our route took us over the top of the Hoover Dam (again) and then along a rather straight road to Kingman, AZ. There is nothing in Kingman save for a few modest motels and the usual small town stores. However, it has the singular feature of being the start of one of the original pieces of historic Route 66 which was our target for the next day.
