London Bridge, Lake Havasu City
This morning we drove in to Lake Havasu City, to London Bridge. We walked around the waterfront a bit. It was very cold and windy, but a bright sun. There were a few people bundled up against the wind and walking, but mostly the walkway was deserted. The literature about the history of the bridge implies that the original stones were transported from London to Lake Havasu City, but that isn’t completely true according to Wikipedia. The bridge is actually a modern concrete structure faced with stones from the original bridge.
Enid at dry waterfall in slot canyon in SARA park, Lake Havasu City
We bought a few groceries, but no fruit since we have to cross into California tomorrow morning and go through a fruit quarantine checkpoint. Then we drove to SARA park, and hiked in to a slot canyon. At the point where there is a seven foot dry waterfall, I slid down, but Enid didn’t want to. It is incredibly slippery rock at that point, much like going down a kid’s slide. It would be really hard to get back up except that someone has left a weathered rope there. Enid sat on the rope and held it with her arms so that I could climb back up.
It wasn’t so windy in the canyon, but it was pretty cool except when you were standing in the direct sunlight.
