Made it to Lake Havasu with only one minor problem.. (Which I think I mentioned elsewhere, When I went to gas up on my way out of Quartzsite I found a flat tire.. Thankfully it was a "New flat" (It was good a quarter mile back when I stopped to check the batteries and top speed in that quarter mile was under 10mph so no damage other than the tire itself, which was totalled, slice in the sidewall, must have hit a rock is all I can guess)
Took a few pictures of LHC's most famous landmark. Man they don't build them like that any more. This bridge was first built before any of us were born, Survived German shelling in WW-II (in fact you can see where German bullets hit it still today) and a move all the way from London to Arizona. IT is a stone bridge, made of quarried and cut stone, some of those slabs have to be in the many tons range. And today it is strong and sturdy (though I do admit they are making some repairs to the railing in one spot, looks like someone tried to drive off the bridge)
The English village however is mostly out of business.. I understand a multi-million renovation is in the works, The pub is closed (For renovation) and the "English Village" is being re-done as well. Still there are many stores still there and more than a few other attractions.
Tonight, we went to church, Then dinner at Krystals (I had Halibut Wife Shrimp) very good food and service. Then we took a trip out on the lake. We took a romantic gondola ride with a genuine singing Gondolier! It was a lot of fun, and something I never thought I'd do.
Got a few photos (Day time shots) of the bridge
