Rugged Country

This afternoon we met a high school classmate and his wife at a place that's tucked way back in the Buckskin Mountains near Parker, AZ.  Once we turned off the main highway, we had about 6 miles of rough and hilly roads with top speed of about 15 mph.

 

 This is just one wall - no building behind it.

My classmate, Jim Johnson, is sitting to the right of Patrick; his wife, Sara, is second from left.  The other couple are friends of Jim & Sara (forgot their names).

This is the main attraction - Desert Bar - all outdoor seating and live music.  It's only open from noon to 6:00 pm and on weekends only.

After driving on this rough road for 6 miles, you can understand why they close at 6:00 pm.  It reminded me of climbing Pikes Peak with no rail guards and narrow road.

 

It was a fun afternoon and we would have never known about this if Jim hadn't told us.  It's definitely an experience we'll remember.
