Out for a Drive



When we left the Desert Bar, we continued up 95 North to Lake Havasu City, home of the London Bridge. We had a very good meal at the Chinese Buffet right beside it. Leaving, we drove back down to Parker where we crossed over the Parker Dam which is extremely narrow on purpose, with guards and barriers on both sides. They say the Colorado River is one of the most dammed rivers in the world and is very important for all the irrigation that makes these neighboring states such large food producers.
We stopped at Emerald Cove, one of our campgrounds which we haven’t stayed at yet. It had about 700 spaces, right on the river and looked very well kept. We passed the town of Earp which is on the map but only consists of a small post office. We crossed over the river again and went back down the Parker to Ehrenberg road to our campground. It was a very interesting day.
