THE OTHER HAVASU

Patty, Margaret, and Ron in front of the London Bridge

Our friends, Ron and Margaret Boughton, have been visiting the last couple of days, as they take a break on their long journey from Florida, back to Skagway, Alaska. We first met Ron and Margaret, during the summer of 2004, our first year working in Alaska. We decided yesterday, to take the Casino shuttle across the lake to Havasu Landing on the Calif. side of the lake. While waiting for the boat, which leaves on the hour, we walked along the bridge water channel, taking in some of the spring break action. It was a really nice day with practically no wind, and temps in the low 70's. Some of the kids were out, and a few boats were cruising the channel, but it was relatively quiet. The Indian Casino at Havasu Landing, on the Calif. side of the lake, operates a shuttle that leaves from the London Bridge, and takes about 15-20 minutes to travel across the lake. Once we arrived at the Casino, we bypassed the games of chance, and headed for the restaurant, where we had a nice lunch. The view from the lake view table, gave everyone a better perspective of how much area Lake Havasu City actually covers. The last time Patty and I had been at the Casino, was 2 years ago, when we rode the Harley's around the lake with our friends, Bob and Diana. When we got back to the house, none of us had much of an appetite, so my plan for BBQ'ing some steaks was put on hold. Ron and Margaret are staying thru today, and we're going over to Bob and Jeanette's for a late lunch/early dinner.
