Month: March 2019

Good day everyone,  I am updating you with our latest info on our travels to Spooner Lake, our next hosting job.  Since this was a not normal winter for many and temperatures are not warming up for some, we have extended our stay at Havasu Lake for another week, and then another week at Las Vegas. We had to extend two more weeks in warmer climate before heading to Spooner due to snow still in the area.  We are not really complaining because the temperatures here at Havasu Lake are in the upper 70s and low 80s… OKAY with us…..

I took some more pictures of the lights at night looking over Lake Havasu towards Havasu City.. Beautiful lights over the lake..

There is a Ferry boat that can be taken to Havasu City from the California side.  Havasu City is Arizona, the State line is in the middle of Havasu Lake, California one side and Arizona on the other.. What is very interesting  is the first original London Bridge was disassembled and purchased and reassembled here in the desert of Havasu City, AZ.. This was all done in the early 60s, out here in the desert with no water. It took them 3 years to put the bridge together and reroute the Colorado river to put water under the bridge connecting to Havasu Lake.

When we get to Las Vegas we will be staying for two weeks and we will be site seeing the Vegas Strip, checking out the Hoover Dam and who knows what else… So stay tuned and see what we do next…

Hope all are doing well and staying warm in most of the US.. Bad weather all around us.. Be safe and keep in touch…

We Left Alamo Lake State Park

We are now at Lake Havasu Landing, the California side. It’s a casino and campground Resort on Lake Havasu.. Here for 11 days.

We cut our stay at Alamo Lake State Park because we did not have any WiFi signal AT ALL in the park. We literally had to walk about a quarter of a mile to get 2 bars and stand just right to check weather and or messages.  Yes you are totally disconnected and that can be a good thing, but not if you need something or to check on something. We hiked to the Alamo State Park Dam here in the park,  it was about 2 miles away and if something happened we would have been in trouble with no signal.  Anyway, we stayed for 6 days instead of 10.. It is a beautiful place. We sat outside every night looking over the lake and the mountains from our site. The interesting thing is there are about 6 to 8 burros running around all over the park. One ran straight through our site one night.  We also met a nice couple who live 3 hours away in Phoenix. We sat and chatted with them one night and got a lot of good information on Phoenix for a future winter stay. We hope to run into them again down the road..

Nice sunsets with mountains all around this place.  We went to a small bar and grill out in the middle of nowhere about 8 miles from the park,  called Wayside Oasis and got an Artillery Burger. It was very good with a beer and Jodi had wine. We then  headed back to the campground. They have a lot of trails for ATVS, so most of the people who are there have ATVs. We felt a little out of place there, but it is a nice place for a few days to disconnect from the world and just enjoy the scenery.

We are enjoying full hookups on at Lake Havasu Landing Campground, California. We are enjoying the weather so far. We had some rain and winds just yesterday, but nice warm upper 70s low 80s for our next week ahead…. YAAAA!!!

The sunrise is beautiful on the Arizona side looking over Havasu Lake from California side.

The campground is a little congested. The sites are real close to each other with lots of permanent people taking all the good sites. We are close to the lake front but not much of a view from out site. Our view is the camper next to us. But it’s still a nice campground. We plan on taking our fire pit and our chairs over to the lake one night and relax with some beer and wine on the little beach we have here.

Our next stop will be Las Vegas for 7 days… Slots!!!  Maybe win a million or two… Ya right!!

Hope you all will continue to follow us as we head to our next hosting job at Spooner Lake, NV.. We’ll be there at the end of the month… Unless it is snowing there, then we will wait till its clear…
