Flying Fortress Parkway in Kingman Arizona

 The Flying Fortress Parkway is a new road in Kingman Arizona which will eventually gof form the I-40 to the Kingman Airport.  The State is building the interchange off the freeway and the city is building the road.  There has been significant progress but it is not expected to be completed until late this year or early next year.  The road gets its name from the Kingman Army Air Field which is now the airport.  During WWII the airfield was used to train gunners for the B-17 Flying Fortress.  The road was previously called rattlesnake wash,

While there we went by to check on progress, and drove on the new road, which is not yet paved, as there was nothing saying we couldn't.  We drove from Airway to the freeway where we were obligated to turn around as we could not go further.  The interchange road is currently being used as the freeway.

Spending the Night at Boulder Beach Camp Ground, Lake Mead.

 3/31/26 we traveled to Las Vegas area to spend the night as Tony was taking a plane the next morning.  Some apprehension about his traveling alone was unfounded.  We stopped at the Visitors Center briefly and took some pictures of the lake from above.  The lake was dark because of the wind but it was brighter in the morning.  We like Lake Mead camping because it is only $10 with our senior pass.  We also often see road runners, and once an owl in our campground.  We spent a comfortable night and were off after a few morning pictures of the lake.
