Wildlife in East Kingman

 She was on the side by side buggy east of Kingman and south of the freeway by Rattle Snake Wash when she cam upon a rattler.  Looks to me like a mohave green.  Needless to say no one got out of the buggy.  Sheri says it was at least three feet long.




For my part I saw a couple road runners this morning.  I also saw a couple quail.  The road runners are much bigger. By the time I got my phone out for a picture they had scurried away.  They were under a cholla cactus close to our house.
