08272017 to 08312017 Kingman AZ: fun times with Stevie & Tommy Colesanti

Today’s road trip was AMAZING! It started with a rainbow! What an experience! A beautiful day for a 4+ hour ride, as the clouds were protecting us from the heat of the sun for most of the ride. This wasn’t the normal road trip, for sure! In the Wolverine Side-by-side on rocky, sandy, holey/bumpy trails; up and down mountain trails for around 50 miles with the newly successful driver, Stevie, at the wheel! Stevie’s husband was kind enough to ride with someone else so I could ride with Stevie-thanks Tommy! Six vehicles in our brigade. We saw ostrich, petroglyphs dating back to 5,000 years ago, a ghost town, hawks, long horn steer, desert flowers/cactus, juniper, mesquite, and mountains 360 degrees around. The rocks are phenomenal, too! I would never have believed we could ride over such terrain as we did; but, with the newly-expert driver Stevie, we traversed every challenge, not without some exciting moments! We crossed over Highway 40 and had some coffee, early on. The leader Jim was kind enough to remove a pesky boulder and warn of challenges as we went along. One of the trails we were going to take was closed because we could see a white pickup truck tilted over and resting in sand above its wheels! Whew-we made it safely back to the Colesanti home and relaxed/cooled off in their lovely pool. Thanks for the amazing experience to Stevie and Tommy-bless your souls always!
