2018.03.25-Lake Havasu City, AZ

We spent the past 10 days in Lake Havasu City Arizona which is a nice lake community on the  Colorado River, the state boundary between California and Arizona.  Our general impressions were lots of water and lots of desert, an enjoyable respite for us but not a serious contender on our list of places to move to.

This is in the Havasu National Wildlife Reserve and this shot shows the incredible contrasts in this part of the world.  The plants think it is still winter here, the yellow grass in the upper right is actually oceans of reeds in the Colorado River marsh.  They provide a necessary stop over for the many migrating birds that come by.

Beautiful mountains of many strata and colors

If there is water the Great Egret is usually around

This part of the world provides a definite show at sunset.  Throw in a Pacific rainstorm and clouds provide even more accent and color.

These next few pics are of a series of reproduction lighthouses on the lake.  There are about 15 in total and they are about 1/4 normal size and do not function, other than to look nice on the lakeshore.

I'm sure everyone has heard the story of the bridge from London torn down stone by stone and reassembled in Arizona.  Well it resides here in Lake Havasu and it is a center piece for the community.  The London Bridge was originally constructed the 1870s and was moved here in 1969 just 2 years after Lake Havasu City was established.

Yes sir, that is an original English red phone booth behind the palm.

We caught this tree and it's mustard colored flowers in full bloom.



Next we journey to Klamath California on the Pacific coast, in the middle of the majestic redwoods, and just 40 miles from the Oregon state line.  We are looking forward to working there for about 3 months as camp hosts and are expecting to make several blog posts of the sights and our adventures.  Thanks for following us.
