Chloride

The six of us (Steve, Kat, Susan, Dan, Bobby & myself) left Havasu around 7:30 to head for Kingman, where we were going to have breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then head to Chloride to see the murals.   These are famous murals painted by artist Roy Purcell. 

These murals are about 1 1/2 miles north of Chloride and you should have a 4X4 to reach them.  The road is extremely rough but the drive is well worth the hassle.   We had a great time climbing around the murals and surronding area.  http://www.roadtripamerica.com/places/chloride.htm


On the way back to down, went by the old copper mine but it was extremely dangerous to climb around since the shafts are unmarked.  

 We then head to to Kingman to the Andy Devine museum.   Spent most of the time in the visitors center, looking at the old train.  We then headed to Mr. D's for milkshakes.   The guys departed company with us girls, as we were going shopping.   We made it back about 2 1/2 hours later.
