Hiking at Cattail Cove, December 5

It’s been pretty cold here, at least cold for the Arizona desert, and very windy the past two days.  Yesterday, December 4 we just took it easy, and did some reading, though I went for a short bike ride in the morning.

Lake Havasu on Colorado River, Whyte's Retreat Trail

Today we hiked to Whyte’s Retreat, a boat-in campsite on Lake Havasu which is about 3 kilometers from this campground.  It was cold and windy.  We wore our jackets to break the wind.  Even though it has been cool, it is nice to walk through the desert along the lake.

This afternoon I went for another bike ride.  Part of it was down a wash, which was very soft and hard to peddle, though most of it was along the highway and the road into the campground.  Enid had fun this afternoon as she baked pecan-oatmeal cookies.  They are very good.
