We have enjoyed our stay at Lake Havasu despite the spring break noise of boats and motorcycles. We decided to stay thru Saturday so John bought a fishing license and has gone out fishing every day. Hasn't caught much but he is catching some fish and getting lots of sun. I have enjoyed hanging around the campground and walking and shopping. One day I walked about 5 miles and another 3 miles . The boaters here love their big offshore boats which are very noisy. And this weekend was a big motorcycle motocross race. Saturday morning they must have had an all-motorcycle run that started at 7:30 AM! The roar they made as they ran the course would have woken us if we hadn't already been up and moving. And the track is over a mile away from where we are camped!
One morning I came across a miniature covered wagon with a burro standing next to it. As I approached, I saw a girl sitting near the wagon so I stopped to visit. She was pet-sitting the burro and a dog while the owner went out trying to sell his books. The writer was on a "tour" with his wagon and burro, promoting his book about a 4 year traveling adventure in the desert southwest. I think I saw this man the day before as he was walking on the boardwalk under the London Bridge. He was dressed in tie-dyed shorts and t-shirt, wearing black work boots. He had a full head of white hair and a full white beard, reminding me of Santa Claus.
After fishing one morning, John and I rode our bikes into town to have lunch and explore some of the campgrounds located on the island. John's lunch was a Captain Crunch Burger made with crunchy peanut butter, onions, cheddar cheese and mayo. Very similar to the goober burger in Sedalia but, according to John, much better! We have decided that if we come back to Lake Havasu, we will stay longer and stay in one of the campgrounds on the island.
Or we might check out some of the areas below Lake Havasu. As we drove south along the river on Sunday morning we saw many other campgrounds right on the river,some were very green, we saw one especially nice golf course carved into the rocky hills, and some great backwater where John swears there will be fish. Parker Dam and the town of Parker were inviting as well.
We will spend a few days with John's mom in Mesa before heading to our daughter's home in Norman, OK.
Here is a parting shot of our trusty Born Free. This is her last trip as our new motorhome has been built and we will pick it up in mid April. We had many a good times in this RV.
