FANTASTIC LITTLE ROAD TRIP DOWN SOUTH OF LAS VEGAS ON THE POINT WHERE NEVADA / ARIZONA / CALIFORNIA .... ALL COME TOGETHER! BACK IN THE DAY NANCY KIDWELL AND HER HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS LAND FROM THE BLM AND CULTIVATED IT INTO A NICE SMALL TOWN. USED TO BE CALLED KIDWELL AND KIDWELL AIRPORT .... LATER RENAMED CAL-NEV-ARI , NEVADA. ABOUT 75 MANUFACTURED HOMES, 2 DIRT RUNWAYS, AND NICE RESTAURANT, POST OFFICE, BAR, CASINO, GIFT SHOP, MOTEL & RV PARK ACROSS THE WAY. LICENSED FOR 2 BLACKJACK TABLES, POKER AND SLOTS .... NOT MUCH ACTION THESE DAYS, NANCY WANTS TO RETIRE ... AND HAS THE WHOLE ENCHILADA UP FOR SALE (see link) ...http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/quirky-cal-nev-ari-sale-ground-17-million ....
TOOK A TOUR OF THE TOWN, SPOKE TO THE LOCALS ... MOST WORRIED ABOUT THE SALE OF THE TOWN AND WHAT WILL BECOME OF THEIR QUIET LIFE STYLE ... THEY HAVE AN COAST GUARD TRACKING STATION THERE .... STRANGE, BUT TRUE ... MIDDLE OF THE DESERT? .... WELL ... LAKE MOHAVE AND THE LOWER COLORADO USES BEACONS FOR NAVIGATION ETC. IF YOU COME TO LAS VEGAS RENT A CHEAP CAR AND GO SOUTH PAST SEARCHLIGHT TO CAL-NEV-ARI .... SPEND A BUCK AND TAKE SOME FUN PHOTOS ... THANKS FOR READING MY POST ... YOUR COMMENTS ARE MOST WELCOMED. RICH BURGEL
