Lake Havasu City

Tuesday we left Pahrump and headed to Lake Havasu City.
We had the rig washed and waxed, but the guy didn't finish on Monday as he thought he might. So, we had a late start on Tuesday. The rig looks great. He did a good job.

We are here to look for possible places to winter in the future. This is a nice place and less expensive than most of the places we have been in over the last several weeks.
We went looking at campgrounds yesterday, and we found a nice resort on the island in the lake. It was a peninsula until the London Bridge was bought and erected here. A canal was dug and the island was made.

The lake was built by the Corps of Engineers back in the 1930's and is a reservoir for the lower Colorado river. It is a beautiful lake surrounded by desert.
The Colorado River divides Arizona from California. We are on the Arizona side.
The campground where we are staying now is nice, but not for long term. It is an industrial area of town and very close to the lake. The facilities are new, but the view lacks somewhat.
We are headed for Williams, AZ today with a severe change in climate.
It will be 95 here today and only 70 in Williams. In the 30's tonight.
We will only overnight there. We are staying at the Railside RV Ranch, where the 2010 IRV2 national rally will be held. We thought that we would check it out. We are thinking of going to the rally next year.

Ta ta for now
