Cruising the Parker Strip

We’re back in our Arizona home this evening after a week and a half on the road. We were in the California house for a few days and then headed back to the desert to relax and enjoy a nice visit with our friends who live on the Colorado River. One of the highlights during our visit was a cruise from Bluewater to Parker Dam and return on a pontoon boat. It was a great day and a wonderful river cruise.

This is the south side of Parker Dam as seen from the river. Just on the other side, is Lake Havasu whose water level is roughly at the lower side of the openings on the top of the dam. It’s kind of eerie seeing those openings and knowing that the dam is all that’s between us and the massive amount of water in the lake beyond. Click on the image to enlarge.
