T'dubing around the off-road areas near Lake Havasu City, and London Bridge!

 Tuesday, January 27

I did a little bit of riding around the area, checking out some trails that led further into the OHV areas.  Pretty rocky terrain here with trails that are sandy but not too bad.

As you can see I. The following pics, it's a wash...some small hills, some ravines, and lots of rocks and some trails.  Not the most exciting scenery but this area doesn't have as many campers as the two further to the north along US Highway 95.






Next to the BLM area, there's some kind of excavation operation, digging up the land for what looks like sand and dirt to me

I rode the 10 miles or so to check out the London Bridge tourist attraction.  Originally built and situated in London, England.  It was purchased, taking apart, and reassembled in Lake Havasu City.

An interesting project and tourist draw apparently.  I rode Yagi over the actual bridge a couple of times to get these shots.  McCollough Road traverses the bridge, and there is a park area with a water canal running under it that you can stroll about in.



I did not tarry long at the bridge, and said I continueed north to around the area near mile marker 192. I had seen some interesting rock formations from the highway as I drove south on Monday and had wanted to check them out.


I would find myself close to the above formation 

I call it the Catchers Mitt




There are several nice camping spots, in this BLM area. The access road is right at mile marker 192, and while the road is rough in spots it's better than in the Standard Wash BLM area where I am camping.


You can ride up almost to the top of the hill where the state provides land for an antenna complex.

The mountain where the telecom antennas were located.

About 55 miles of riding today under mostly cloudy skies.  The high temperature was 66 degrees with a s wind.  

I woke to 41 degrees Fahrenheit so it was a bit chilly riding into town, even though I had waited till it was 50 degrees.  Not too bad though.  Riding home in the low 60s was just fine.

Sunset was OK:
