London Bridge

If you thought you had to fly to London to see the "London Bridge"  you are ............ wrong. The London Bridge is just up the road from Quartzsite, yes, out here in the desert. In 1968 it was moved stone by stone and re-assembled in Lake Hasau; so off we went to take a look.

First though a few pictures from the BLM land. More rigs are showing up each day and we have definitely noticed more folks in the downtown area.

These campers are close to the road but obvious prefer their location as they are also close to town.

 Passing what looked retirement communities as we drove north on 95.

 Flags across the "London Bridge", Arizona, Britain, U.S.A.

 And here is how the grand old lady looks today; no, no, no,  not Mary, the London Bridge. Not bad and still able to carry traffic across her spans.

 No barges, just kayakers, boaters and swimmers. I wonder if she misses "Big Ben"?

 Mallards, now I'm feeling like I'm back in Canada.

 Driving home and the views are always spectacular.

 Well maybe this isn't so spectacular, but it does show how much people cherish the water's edge,

 This is spectacular! Another beautiful sunset in Quartzsite.

Enjoy your day, we are visiting the flea markets today. That should be good for a few pictures. See you tomorrow.
