Lake Havasu on the Colorado River
We left the senior citizens home this morning. Yuma, Arizona, must be populated with a huge number of retirees. It is wall to wall RV parks, almost every one of them that we saw a “55+” park.
Enid and I are both convinced that we much prefer the type of setting we have in a state or national park, and so we’re happy that will be staying here till Wednesday, and then in Death Valley National Park until we pack up for home on December 11. We are here in Cattail Cove which is on the shore of Lake Havasu. We are close to the water, and can see out across the water of the lake to California on the far shore about a kilometer and a half away.
It was quite windy, a cross wind, as we drove up from Yuma this morning. We got here right at noon, so ate our lunch before we set up the trailer. Then we went for a short walk along the lake and through the desert. It is pretty cool here, especially with the wind. However we didn’t think it was quite cold enough to need the bomber aviator cap one of the park rangers was wearing down by the lake. Our neighbours, from Nova Scotia, were laughing about it as well, but we did wear our light fleece and jackets on our walk
