Lake Havasu

Yesterday was gorgeous as we drove around Lake Havasu. There was enough of a breeze from the approach of the rain that hit last night to make for brisk sailing on the lake and there were several sailboats taking advantage of it.



There is a group of local citizens who are committed to making navigation on the lake safer. They have built replicas of lighthouse as navigation aids. All of the lighthouses that we have seen are anywhere from 1/16 to 1/3 the size of the originals on the Great Lakes, East and West coasts.








I'm not sure how many of these lighthouse replicas there are around the lake -- the references I found on the Internet said there were at least a dozen. They are actual working lights. We are going to have to make an evening expedition once of these nights to see them in action.
