Our time In Blythe, CA

Mike & Penny took us touring to see the Colorado River, which is a huge recreational area, most likely in most areas of the country.

Recreational Sections - Colorado River
Lots of RV an Park Model sites

Pirates Den Resort
A very nice place to stay

Mike & Penny checking out the place

This was a very impressive RV Resort, with nice riverside sites. There is a long wait list to secure one of these pads which come with a gazebo on the beach.

We caught a glimpse of this 2016 plus LTV Murphy Bed
The plate says from Alaska, long way from home!

We were able to get up to:

Lake Havasu, NV to see the London Bridge.

The bridge was dismantled, each individual piece numbered and then shipped.

The bridge, in pieces of course, was loaded onto a brand new transport ship which had been scheduled to sail west across the Atlantic.

Arrangements were made for the bridge cargo which was taken through the Panama Canal to California. From there it was trucked to Lake Havasu and assembled over three years. The bridge was built over land and a channel was dredged afterwards, creating the popular boating and kayaking area of Lake Havasu.

The Cast Light Standards Are Very Nice!

If you look closely you can still see the numbers on the stones

Old Stone Engineering!

The drive to Lake Havasu was a nice easy 140km drive, less than two hours with interesting stops along the way. We were took the route to the east of the Colorado River up to London Bridge, then on our way home we crossed the Colorado River over the Parker Dam back into California.
