Motel 6 Lake Havasu Lakeside Lake Havasu City

If you are reading this, and we warned you not to, here is why....

When we left the Grand Canyon we drove for a few hours that night and stayed in lovely Needles, California, right on the border of Arizona. So thats it, just where we slept for the night, before we headed up to Yosemite National Park.

We just wanted our map to be accurate, hence the reason for this post.

Till Yosemite, a real post you can read.

... their actual slogan by the way. We had another unscheduled hike along the natural beeches, through a cactus garden, saw a few hares and chipmunks, spoke to a Yugoslavian religious fanatic, bathed in the smell of **** as Paul mentioned. And to cap it off, beat Paul at chess in just over an hour. Gotta watch that Queen Paul, or i'll have my way with her everytime heh heh.

Enroute to Grand Canyon, we made a quick pit-stop at Lake Havasu City, to break the journey and to visit the original London Bridge. The City of London sold the bridge to the founder of Lake Havasu and it was dismantled in the UK and reassembled in the USA brick by brick. The bridge looks just like the one in London, just more pristine.

Urban legend has it that the silly American actually intended to purchase Tower Bridge, but thought that it was called London Bridge.

... most. Přehrada i hráz je nádherná – voda je sytě modrá (i když ne jak Mono Lake, taky tahle voda se mění na pitnou a zásobuje např. Vegas nebo LA) a na okolních skalách je vidět, jak je hlavina nízko. Světlá hráz tvoří krásnej kontrast. Procházíme po obou stranách, který znamenají dva státy – Nevadu a Arizonu, kocháme se pohledy do hluboké propasti pod náma a fotíme ...

Hello from steamy Lake Havasu City!

May I again reiterate that, sometime in my lifetime, I would love to live here!

I had such a great day yesterday. After our morning meeting, I learned all about my role as an advance team member in Veracruz, Mexico. My responsibilities include but are not limited to:
--arranging community impact activities
--learning more about the city and culture and teach what I ...

... longer and went inside to cool down. A nice cool shower was much
appreciated, followed by nice cool cocktails and beers. We all slowly
got ready whilst waiting for the mummies to do 20 loads of washing
before we could go for something to eat.

Finally at 7.30pm we walked the short distance to the resort grill, which had
happy hour until close so we stayed until close! Before bed we
watched some T.V ...

... area. Topside, there is a statue to Robert McCulloch and some other guy instrumental in the founding and development of Lake Havasu City. Also you can walk along the bridge and try to find the pock marks from the Germans strafing and bombing the bridge. Since the stone is already pitted, I could not distinguish between bullet holes and natural depressions in the stone. Interesting note ...

... on how and why the dam was built, what is hydroelectric energy and why they needed it and if you were a really big sucker you could then pay extra for a tour of the power plant. Eventually we got to the lookout and could see the majestic view of Lake Mead, the point at which it was dammed and the beautiful Colorodo river continuing its journey. After a quick pit stop to the Cafe we were on our way and half our day was gone. Our destination was the little known place of ...

What a beautiful day! It started out in the low thirties but quickly reached the mid-sixties as we made our way west through Phoenix and then north towards Lake Havasu. We didn't quite make it to Lake Havasu City, home of London Bridge, before dark so we camped at another of Arizona's beautiful state parks called Cattail Cove nestled in a small cove on Lake Havasu ...
