48.18 Arizona: Lake Havasu City: Sara Park: Blue Trail to Colorado River via Lizard shoulder.

'It's a bit of a hike. Can I offer you a snack before we go?' 'Uncle Rex? Someone to meet you.' 'Let me show you the pool. My Mom looks after the garden. Never let's any of us get close.' 'That's my neighbor. She's a strange bird. She likes the mountains. Thinks she's a goat.' 'You think she's strange? That's the mate. He's a plain showoff. Proper ram he thinks he is.' Weather turned only to reverse the next day.     Never tire of these views. Got down to the water's edge...hoping it would beautify us as it does to the surrounds. No such luck.   Has its own mix and blend of colors. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

49.08 California: Montana de Oro: Oats peak via Coons Creek trail.

Rather distinctive landmark, hence the name of the town, Morro Bay. Heading to that altitude although on the opposite side. 'California poppies', delightful. Getting high the old fashioned way...thank goodness. Tip-toeing through the tulips. About 40 minutes to go; at least we can now see the destination. Ducking under the moss-covered trees. Very attractive setting to compensate for the steepness. And there's the ocean. A legal stop and rest on luxury, for a change. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey
