We finally sought out the road that approaches Davis Dam from the Nevada side of the Colorado River and were treated to a visit to parts of the Lake Meade Recreation area that dot the West side of the Colorado just to the North of Laughlin. There are some very nice, mostly day use, pavillions and other facilities scattered along several miles heading toward the dam and some of the nicest sites provided for camp hosts that we have ever seen. Deb got into a conversation with one of the hosts and learned enough that we would absolutely consider hosting here if we should ever decide to visit this area again.
About 70 miles to our South along Arizona 95 is Lake Havasu City, new home of the 1831 London Bridge. The city is much more extensive and cosmopolitan than we ever expected, with a wide range of housing options and probably more commercial enterprises than any other city between Las Vegas and Phoenix. The bridge connects to an island in the lake that is mostly dedicated to recreational activities and there is a ferry available (for $2 round trip) to Havasu Landing on the California side where there is much more in recreation opportunities, including a small, but nice casino.
