Dinner at El Paraiso


Taking a day off from Jeeping. 
Mountain Trail known by locals as SARA's Crack Trail, primarily follows a natural wash down to
 Lake Havasu

There are a couple of elements in the canyon that require you to scale short sections down (or up on the return), in one small section there is a rope to help you down (or up). 






I found coming up the rope easier than going down

Big Jenga for Dollars event.  Raised $220.00, 50/50 split with KOTO.



Jim wins $110.00, he was the last successful pull before John knocked it down.
Jim graciously donated his winnings back to KOTO, he just wants to keep the title of "Jenga Winner". 

London Bridge
How did the London Bridge make its way from rainy London to the dust-dry Mojave Desert in Arizona?  In 1967, the City of London was looking for someone to buy the defunct and dismantled bridge.  Oddly enough, McCulloch had a hunch that this iconic piece of British history would drive growth in Lake Havasu City.  McCulloch placed the winning bid of 2.4 million.

Dinner at The Chair


Entrance to Nellie E Saloon AKA The Desert Bar


A quirky, rustic watering hole built on the site of a former mining camp.
