We were pleasantly surprised by a visit from Josh and Marlina this morning. They got up early and did a 1.5 hr. drive to Red Rock Canyon to just say hi! It was a visit that was a bit too short as Ned and I had a long drive ahead of us. We also got to meet their new puppy, Zuma. We are in love! Thanks kids for making the effort, it was really appreciated.
Well I wanted hot weather and Arizona delivered for us. It took us awhile to get here, but it was so worth it. The added bonus was the campsite we reserved. I had no idea it was so close to the water and with our own little private beach. I can feel summer is just around the corner.
Lake Havasu City is a unique place. It’s a party beach destination with an epic shoreline trail, hundreds of boats cruising the canal, restaurants overflowing with people and college kids partying like it was 2019. Yeah, not exactly our scene, but the people watching was truly epic.
Ned and I did not partake in any partying, but kept to the bike trail cruising by all the action. I wish you could hear the competing music blaring and take in the wafts of pot, beer and suntan lotion. We definitely hit this place in the midst of spring break.
The shoreline trail is a gorgeous path that hugs the canal connecting Lake Havasu and the Colorado River. The biggest activity is the boats promenading up and down the canal.
The bike trail eventually meanders to a quieter family side. It really is just gorgeous.
Ironically, even tho Lake Havasu State Park, where we are camped, is right next to all this action, it’s a quiet little haven made up of mostly retired folks in their monster RV’s. We spent a lovely afternoon at our little beach, enjoying the birds and quiet. (Do I sound like an old person??).
We hung out until the sun set enjoying the warm weather. As I write this blog at 8 pm, it’s 75 degrees outside. Mission accomplished warm weather found.
