AZ16 - Day 13 Continued (PD)

In Oatman we parked up on the right at the top of main street.

Walking down the boardwalk we encountered one of the first donkeys.  This one was on the boardwalk itself and eating some flyers from one of the attractions. I guess printed paper tastes good to a donkey?

Many of the shops had already closed and in need of a comfort break we headed to the public facilities. Dodging donkey byproducts is a normal occurrence but nothing could prepare anyone for the rest rooms smell.

We had a look around the bric-a-brac stall next door and then over to the car park where there were a few donkeys and some foals (?). One with a sticker on its forehead saying "do not feed". It seemed to be doing a good job eating for itself.

Eating an advertising flyer!

From Oatman we headed south towards I40 and at Golden Shores we stopped for a quick pic of another R66 logo on the road.

The intention was to take a slight detour into California.  And we did. Pulling off to Moabi Regional Park just across the river. Stopping to get a photo of the R66 logo on the road.

As I was driving Claire had the phone camera go take pictures. We missed the California sign going west and despite slowing a lot we managed to get a picture of the state sign as we crossed the Colorado River back into Arizona.

We arrived in Havasu and I guess the first sighting of London Bridge is a shock. You know it is there but seeing it spanning what appears to be a man made channel is quite a surprise. 

The hotel was nearby almost on the lake itself.  We had a view over the lake and the entrance to the channel under the bridge.

Pretty well appointed and our home for two nights.
