Lenzen's Travels

If you would like to view any of these photos a bit better, just click on them and they will enlarge.

We are still at Lake Havasu City and looking forward to some nice warm weather.  This past week was rather cool, windy, cloudy, and even a bit of rain.  I know, I need not complain about cold weather because many of you would love to have been able to enjoy these temperatures.  But remember, that the weather is the one thing we all can complain about - too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, too windy, and so on.  This week looks very promising for us.

The fireworks festival is over and once again there was quite a show.  We were able to just drive up one of the hills near us and we had a terrific view.  I will share a few photos that I took - the better ones I hope.  It is quite challenging to get a good photo at night with a phone camera - particularly if the phone is neither new nor has a great camera.

We took a drive over the Parker Dam (it is the deepest dam in the world) and along the west side of the Colorado river.  It's a pretty drive

and we were fortunate to see some wildlife.

As I have mentioned in the past, we often see interesting, and sometimes odd things.  On a recent walk, we came across a bowling ball hanging on a pin on a large concrete block. 

Down from us is a fellow with an old converted highway bus.  I did say it was old, and converted, but I did not way it was pretty!   One day he was up on the roof cleaning his solar panels.  Gerry casually wondered how he got up there as he did not see a ladder anywhere.  Well, he didn't need a ladder.

There are thousands of trails in the hills and mountains behind us.  With that, the area is teeming with 4x4 and/or off-road vehicles of all sizes, and shapes, and kinds.  Many are licensed and are used as transportation.  As we were driving down the highway, a couple of them passed us.

Whenever there is an ad for free food, Gerry likes to go and see what the business has to offer (plus free lunch).  Today our friend sent us a note that the local Jeep dealer was having a promotion.  Off we go although I am a bit apprehensive because the last time we went to one at an auto dealership, we came home with a Jeep.     Today was not such a day but Gerry did have an amazing hot dog - Chicago style.

This week SpaceX shot another rocket up, and since we don't follow it's schedule, it is always quite a surprise when it comes over the mountains.

We had a great week and I hope each and every one of you also had a great week.  Until next week, take care!!!
