Lake Havasu Winter Blast 2013

Our 350 mile trip from San Felipe to Lake Havasu (Stopped at Escapee’s Park in Yuma which was very nice) was uneventful.  50 miles South of the border there was a quick stop at a Military Check Point.  We had about a 1 hour wait at the border, when it came our turn US Border Guard did not board our rig, passed us after about 10 questions and a 10 minute wait while they did a computer check I assume.

 

 

 

 

The pictures above are take in Mexico. The road is very good 2 lane and the mountains are awesome to say the least.

Our arrival at the BOL site at Lake Havasu was exciting to the point of being the most hazardous thing I have ever done when parking out 5th wheel. I will not attempt this type maneuver again.  I was going up a grade steep enough to require 4wd low range and than forced to make an acute right turn to the right and steep down hill.  ‘Steep’ as in you could not ride a bike up that hill unless your name is Lance and you’ve taken all your pills!  The pictures below don’t show the angle involved.  The small motor home (near my flag) is about 500’ away at the point I made the hard turn.  It is a very steep walk up the hill to get to him.  Leaving on Monday, I had to wait for him to clear the corner.

The good news is that once we were parked we had a awesome view of the 3 night Fire works displays while looking out our back window if we so desired.  My photo abilities stop at trying to capture photos of fireworks. The displays are 3 evening and last from 7:00 until 9:30. Each evening had 3 ‘Grand Finales’ as different manufacturer's showed their best stuff.

Lake Havasu Is also the home of the relocated London Bridge.  A good size city which seem to be a Winter Snow Bird destination of choice with lots of restaurants, shops and very active activities at the town’s parks.
