  • We move to Lake Havasu City, AZ just in time for the Havasu Winter Blast Pyrotechnics Show. There is plenty of free or cheap camping to be had in this area but we decided to first spend a couple nights at Cattail Cove State Park to scout out the public lands. After enjoying the dog beach and showers at Cattail Cove we move out to The Steps which is Arizona State Trust Land Camping. With camp set up, we head to the Blast to check out the fireworks display with friends. The next day we wander in Lake Havasu City to check out Lake Havasu, the Bridgewater Channel Canal, and London Bridge. This wraps up our time in Arizona 🌵

    The fireworks are actually a pyrotechnics class, they teach people pyrotechnics, the people of havasu actually made it an annual thing. It was never meant as a show

    My wife and I really enjoy how you explain your trips with pricing / access of Parks and camp grounds along with amenities. Also the difficulty / length of trails and hikes you experience. Only a few give that type of information so it's very useful for us to be able to plan trips. Thank you for going into that type of detail on your videos. It's very helpful.

    We just want to let you know how much we have enjoyed your videos during this shut-in time. We found your videos probably a couple of months ago and have watched nearly all of them and are looking forward to the shut in being over and you resuming your posting. We are not full timers but do take our 2 dogs and cat when we do go on trips in the travel trailer. Your videos are great because we have so far just travelled in the eastern part of the US, mostly in the southeast, and your videos show us what's out there. Take care & stay safe.

  • @wallyfox13
    @wallyfox13 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great vlog, we're glad you visited our city! I think it's important to know that the time between firework sets was filled with announcements detailing various information about them: Who made it, where they're from, the order number, etc. You can hear this either at the grandstands or over the local radio stations. The pyrotechnics show is basically a sales presentation for buyers of fireworks, not necessarily spectators. Also noteworthy: the bridge was purchased at an auction and the sellers had no idea where it was going! $2M well spent.

  • @camrodger5381

    We found that we had to be careful scoping out a lot of the boondocking areas, especially with our low slung Airstream. Several area approaches were relatively steeply dipped, which wouldn’t be concerning to most RV’s. Thanks for another great video.

    The lockdown here in Sacramento was just tightened down more today. No one can come visit in your house. So we will not be having our annual Easter gathering. Anyway, hubby and I liked the video, especially the lake views. Nice to see your puppies enjoying the water. Our dog will only swim in lakes, never in our pool. We wish you peace, laughter and safe travels.
    HAPPY EASTER! 🐰

Once it's safe to travel once again we are heading to Fish Creek, Wi. which is in Door County.

    Funny, we were at Cat-Tail Cove Feb 14, Friday. We also stayed in the overflow, and I flew that lakeside trail you were on with my drone. We saw the Friday night show of the 3 night fireworks demos. Although it was unique, and saw fireworks we hadn't seen before, we decided to move one and continue on our trip eastward to Scottsdale. We didn't stay for Sat night, but we heard the Saturday night show is the best, so maybe next time.

      Both fun places! And, I imagine, on opposite ends of the temperature spectrum - I know Lake Havasu City is crazy hot in the summer and Thermopolis must be crazy cold in the winter being in WY. You just need to be a snowbird between those 2 cities!!

    Thank you so much for your great videos! I am a full time van dweller native aridzonian. My dream trip is the 191 highway. I have traveled on most the Arizona parts. The 191 at most the southern point is Douglas AZ and ends at the Canadian Border. Every fifty to a hundred miles along, and small excursions off the 191 are National parks, Monuments, State parks, Natural areas, Preserves, Mines ( you literally drive though an open pit copper mine on the 191), and the list goes on and on. I could spend a half a year exploring this route. Their are no videos of the entire route. Most of the road is two lane. Not very well traveled at all. I think you guys would really enjoy this trip. Check it out on google maps! Happy trails!

    Hi there from New Zealand. I have just watched this post and thoroughly enjoyed. I went to Lake Havasu back in the 70s and saw the London Bridge.

    We drove through that area in late October and tried to find a place to boondock north of Lake Havasu City. We had a hard time finding something because it was later in the day and there were still a lot of people in the area. We would have loved to have found a place near the water. Glad you found a nice spot to camp. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing your journey. We love to see your videos. Stay safe!!

    • @EmbracingDetours
      @EmbracingDetours  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When we scouted out the various boondocking options, Craggy Wash BLM just north of LHC was our favorite but entirely too busy and many people that looked like they had far outstayed their 14 day limit. Of all the public land places we checked none were on the water, but if you had the ability to get up high enough on The Steps you could get a really nice view of the Colorado River. Lake Havasu State Park offered overflow parking just like Cattail Cover SP did, but theirs was right on the river which was pretty nice. We decided against that because we didn’t want to pay to dry camp but it is an option if you want to be as close to the river as possible. We are doing well, thanks for asking - same to you!

      Thank you, Loran! I had the same reaction as you about the London Bridge. Someone else commented above that the bridge was purchased at auction for $2M... I can't imagine the money and labor it took to deconstruct it, ship it over to the States and reconstruct it. But, I guess it's served its purpose by attracting people to the area so perhaps a smart idea and money well spent. Glad you enjoyed, as always thanks for watching and commenting 😊

    • @EmbracingDetours
      @EmbracingDetours  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Steve & Carolyn 😊Honestly, it was kind of a fluke. We suspected the torque converter was always the problem after the rebuild, but it didn't make sense because it was supposed to be the very similar specs to the torque converter it was replacing. It wasn't until the shop called the distributor, that we found out they had shipped the wrong type causing our new problem. It was only slightly different without the trailer, but once we added weight it was VERY apparent something wasn't right. Sorry I don't have a clearer answer for you. Thank you for watching and commenting.
