Kingman Hualapai Mountain Strings Concert

 An unexpected surprise was the Hualapai Strings concert in Kingman this year.  This was Friday December 23.  It was so well done and very enjoyable.  Help at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Kingman.  The performers gave a great gift back to the community.  Of course I forgot my camera, but I did get the program.  The concert was very enjoyable.  I most enjoyed the four songs they invited the audience to sing with the strings--three in a row: Joy to the World, Hark! the Herald Angels and Oh Come, All Ye Faithful, and then the final number, Silent Night.  Sheri most enjoyed O Come, O Come Emmanuel.  They played the Piano Guys version with two cellos and Emma Wilcock on piano.  It was very good with the cascading piano against the cellos on melody.  Again I really enjoyed Away in a Manger.  There were six violins, two cellos and two played piano.  But for the most part, Diane Schreiber was on the piano as Emma Wilcock also played violin. Schreiber was very accomplished.  The Swigerts, two on cello and two on violin were half of the group.  It was fun to see the young violinists, Kjersti Swigert was one of them, play their violins with the older musicians.  They also provided percussion, bells and whip, on one number.  We Three Fiddles was a unique tune, combining the melody for We Three Kings with some serious fiddling.  

It was a wonderful presentation, and a wonderful gift from the Hualapai Mountain Strings to the community.

Kingman Hikes: White Cliffs Trail South Entrance

 The White Cliffs Trail systems has been extended considerably with the addition of two trailheads.  The South Trailhead is just north of the couurt building.  It is on fourth street but cannot ber accessed directly off of fourth.  You can go on fifth to the Palo Christi school and turn back behind the courthouse on Maple Street until getting to fourth and then go up the hill.  You can also access the trailhead from third street, turing east on Chestnut street and following up the hill.  This is a newer trailhead having been opened a little more than a year ago.  The trail is marked intermediate.  There are two directions to go, both of which meet again at the top.  The trail to the left first goes down, close to the "K".  This trail has many switchbacks going up the hill.  The other trail to the right goes around the hill on the other side.  It is fairly steep.  After getting to the top there are a myriad of trails to fol...
