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.
Lake Havasu, a man-made lake created as a result of Parker Dam, is a crystal blue forty-five mile long body of water set among a relatively desolate landscape of steep red cliffs. I don't think I've ever seen such clean, clear water anywhere else in the United States. Like Picacho Peak, everything at Cattail Cove was clean and in order. Kudzu and I have been covering a lot of territory the last few days in an effort to outrun the cold but we've been only moderately successful. Days have been pleasant with mid-afternoon temperatures in the sixties, but as the sun sets temperatures rapidly drop into the thirties and even the twenties. The ranger at Cattail Cove informed us that this has been the coldest Autumn in Arizona history. Great!
