Lake Havasu City Arizona

We have spent a couple of weeks in Lake Havasu... one week in October and this week in November, have combined pics mainly of sunsets!


This was the weather for us in October - HOT




Aerial view of Lake Havasu.












                                    our sunset viewing seat





London Bridge, which crosses a 930 ft (280 m) long man-made canal that leads from Lake Havasu, (on the Colorado River) to Thompson Bay. It was bought for US $2.5 million from the City of London when the bridge was replaced in 1968. The bridge was disassembled, and the marked stones were shipped to Lake Havasu City and reassembled for another US $7 million. It opened in October 1971






That's a big'un.






                                                eeeeeeuuuuwwww
