Billy Wardle Happenings

 Taking the side-by-side from our house, going east on East Diamond Joe Road, you encounter a couple old homesteads that are nothing but ruins now.  These are north of the I-40.  The first is not very far out.  It is between Diamond Joe and Airway.  Mostly all that remains is the rock work. The other ruin I have been past is farther out on Diamond Joe.  Again only the rock work remains.  The people who lived here must have been pretty hardy as they were living isolated on the desert.  However in the end, the desert must have driven them away.  It would be fun to know more of their stories.

 We live in the eastern most part of Kingman on the north side of I-40, at the end of the paved portion of Airway.  Beyond our house is a network of dirt roads.  We didn't want to take our vehicles on them, so have purchased a side by side.  We call it the sand buggy.  We have found bouncy roads, hilly roads.  Most are pretty dusty.  We have found what seems to be an old abandoned house.  I also go looking for pretty rocks and stop from time to time to pick one up and bring it home.   Baby is in buggy while we are parked east of Kingman
