Our friends Mike & Bernie from Fairbanks were at their condo in Fountain Hills near Phoenix. We were able to visit and spend an amazingly sunny day lounging around their pool. Later they came to Quartzsite for some 4-wheelin'.
We spent the day exploring old mines and some rock houses that were used in the 50's by miners and have since been abandoned. Dad has ridden in this area for a long time and was a knowledgeable tour guide. He showed us indian petroglyphs and grinding stones.
