48.25 Arizona: Lake Havasu: SARA Park: An incredible city gem. Rocky, good time on 3 peaks. (A favorite set of views.)

Exploring Lizard Peak, the opposite summit and a couple of others, made the day one of much climbing. The lake (Havasu), fed by the Colorado River, once again illustrates our opinion that wherever this magnificent river passes through, enjoys natural blessing. The river continues and ends up filling Parker Lake before continuing through California and into Mexico. Naturally, it presents the right documents at the border although, from time-to-time, it has sneaked (leaked) under the wall. 

We were in discussion recently and perhaps expressed emotionally but nevertheless truthfully, one of the most memorable aspects of reaching and living in the United States has been experiencing the many facets of the Colorado River and its lakes. Seems strange to 'love' a river but then the effect it has on the land and ultimately ourselves, is amazing. 

A few blogs before, we wrote of our other feelings toward the great city of Los Angeles. While I do not wish to disparage such place, and after all I'm a nobody, I can't help thinking how much water from the Colorado River is diverted its way.

 

Each day, every position provides a person with challenges, unique sights and dare we say, a sense of achievement, something learned and experienced.

The constant background of water and mountains gives one pleasure from wherever one stands and climbs.

Always a struggle, always a reward.
These type of positions hit the spot.

Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
