London Bridge

As I mentioned in my last post the London Bridge was purchased and moved to Lake Havasu City many years ago as a tourist draw.  Today we took a bike ride over to the bridge to get some pictures.  It appears they dug out a small channel to make an island in the lake and then placed the bridge on the rode to the island.  On the island near the bridge are restaurants and shops with English names and themes.  I took a snapshot from Google Maps so you can see where the bridge is.  On the picture below it is right near the Pin marked A.

Here are some pictures we took of the bridge.

On our ride back I noticed a propane truck driving by us on the road and started laughing at the name of the company, Passmore Gas.  I was not quick enough to snap a picture of the truck so I went online and put the name in Google and verified that it is a local company and the family that owns it is named Passmore.  I guess it was destiny they would own a gas company.  I was able to find a picture online of one of their tanks, but the truck picture was copyrighted.

I was also not able to get a picture of a Roadrunner bird that was in the RV park office when we arrived.  The park owner said the bird showed up one day in the office when the door was open and perched itself on the counter.  It comes by when the door is open and runs around the office.  It does get a little nervous around people but still it was amazing to see this bird hopping around the office.

It is always an adventure!
