PICTURES FROM OUR LAST DAY GOING TO lAKE HAVASU CITY

 We are in Lake Havasu City, AZ now, arriving yesterday after a 4 day driving trip.  The trip went well and we arrive safely.  The first 3 days there are not a lot of things to take pictures of.  The fourth day has some interesting things to snap.  All of these pictures were taken from the car with it moving at around 75 mph.  I wasn't driving, my dear wife Pat was at the wheel and did great.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

This is the first mountain we see east of Flagstaff, AZ.  It had snow this year, but there have been years in the past when it was bare.  It is in the area where all the skiing is done for the Flagstaff ski area.

Another shot of the mountain from about 5 miles closer.


Just a big hump of a hill with flat land around it.


This is west of Flagstaff and we are starting the down hill run.


The big hump hill from closer up.


AZ didn't agree.


Another down hill shot.  Some of the runs were pretty steep.


Going back up again.  This happens several times between Flagstaff and when you get all the down to the low lands


This was along down hill run and steep.


And up again.


This was just coming into Kingman, AZ.  It is at the bottom of the hills in the distance.


Some of you will remember Andy Divine as the sidekick of Roy Rogers. Andy was actually born in Flagstaff, but grew up in Kingman and considered that his home town.  He was in many movies and TV shows.  Kingman named the main street of the town in his honor.


The sign we were looking for all day.


The off ramp to go to Lake Havasu is on the right by the truck in the picture.


This is the "boondockers" area just before you get to Lake Havasu.  Boon dockers are those that don't want to be in an RV camp and just find a place out in the country to park.  This camp gets to be very large when all of them get here.


The very first glimpse of the lake.
