Congratulations on surviving your epic journey. Particularly the hitchhiker saga. Hope to someday have a trip in my 50 GMC fire truck as long and fun as yours. Jim. PS, did you get your piece of property you were looking for?
Yes I got 2 acres in Dolan Springs which is north of Kingman on 93 about 35 miles.
I'm about 65 miles from Vegas and the road that goes through Dolan Springs goes to the Sky Walk at the Grand Canyon 49 miles and 35 miles to Lake Mojave by dirt road my truck is really at home out their in the desert.
