Beginning at the end of March and extending into May, we spent over a full month staying in Kingman, Arizona. During this time, we traveled to Bullhead City, Arizona, and Laughlin, Nevada, probably 15 times to see our good friends Tom and Ginny and to enjoy the sights there.

Below are photos taken of the Davis Dam and area located at the extreme South end of Lake Mead where we really enjoyed our several visits.

A few photos of the road into the damsite.

In the distance you see Davis Dam.

Now we will turn into a very nice recreation area where we enjoyed a lunch.

A view of the Colorado River as it heads South toward Bullhead City.

Now we are going to drive from the downstream side of Davis Dam (above you have been seeing photos of the downstream side of the dam), over to the upstream side. The drive took about 20-minutes.

Below you see photos of the reservoir immediately upstream of Davis Dam which is the extreme South end of Lake Mead.

We hope you enjoyed sharing the pleasure we had visiting this area.

MAY 19, 20 .. ARIZONA HIGHWAY 68 .. BULLHEAD CITY, ARIZONA, EAST TOWARDS KINGMAN, ARIZONA

In our last Post, we showed a touching roadside Memorial to (we think) three people who lost their lives on Arizona State Highway 68, between Bullhead City and Kingman, Arizona.

In this Post, we are going to show a series of photographs showing the beautiful scenery that Highway 68 passes through.

In the above and below photographs, you will see some of the roadside flowers along Highway 68. These flowers are springtime flowers and we were fortunate that we saw them in full bloom.

Some yet-to-bloom flowers.

Here we go up into the distant Mountains.

In the distance, as we drop down from the Mountain crest, is the Golden Valley area before you reach Kingman.

There you have it. A photo shoot along Arizona State Highway 68, driving East from Bullhead City heading for Kingman, Arizona.

Cap and Patti. We both really enjoyed our many drives over Highway 68.
