TONOPAH ARIZONA

PART 2

 

One day Linda, Gina and I decided that we would all hike out and see the desert tortoise.  The tortoise was just basking in the sun and didn't offer us much in the way of entertainment.  We took the usual amount of touristy pictures of him and then started hiking back to the truck.  Gina, ever on the lookout, noticed a round object lying in the sand up ahead.  It turned out to be a bowling ball, cracked by the sun but still intact.  We have since wondered how it came to be in the middle of nowhere?  (You may insert the bowling ball joke of your choice here)

On another day, Linda and I were driving on a gravel desert road when she suddenly yelled at me to stop the truck.  She had noticed a basketball out in the desert.  Now I gotta ask anyone who might know, whats up with the Indians?  Was there a secret bowling league for Indians, somewhere around area 51?  I don't think I have ever seen an Indian in the NBA?

 

 

 

We did manage to find the petroglyphs out at Saddle Mountain.  Chuck commented that he had read somewhere, "petroglyphs may be taken home but only one per customer". 

 

Tonopah is a special place, and its the people you meet there that make that a true statement!
