Lake Havasu
Should we walk or bike? It’s only a mile to the London Bridge, so we decided walking was easier than undoing the cover and getting the bikes off the rack. So down the trail we headed, then we got to the expansive parking lots for the boat ramp, still following the reliable All Trails path. We ended up standing slightly confused looking at a gate that was chained closed. A voice from above said, if you want to climb over you should do it in the corner here. Wait, climb over the fence? Maybe she doesn’t realize the people over 60 don’t climb fences anymore. Or do they??
It’s pretty impressive that someone would buy the materials, ship them from England and reconstruct the bridge, here in Arizona. There were British flags flying everywhere and restaurants that looked like British pubs, When Jane sent a picture of it on our family message stream, they immediately checked Find My to see if we had taken a strange detour on our way home from California!
We had a decent dinner and flight of margaritas at Javelina’s where we had a good view of the bridge. The wait staff all sported t-shirts with a cartoon of a cactus and a javelina on the back. The cactus calls the javelina a “pig” and the javelina calls the cactus a “prick.”
We retraced our steps back to the campground, hoping to find a better way through the fence — we did not. But it was a nice evening to sit and read and enjoy the sunset.
