"Taking over the London Bridge Part III"
Saturday January 28th: Visit Oatman and Big Bend Recreational Area.
Sunday January 29th: Visit Lake Havasu City and take over the London Bridge.
Monday January 30th: Check-out, Breakfast and Good Byes
Friday January 01/27/06: Check-in, Meet-n-Greet at the Flamingo
Saturday 01/28/06: Caravan to Oatman, Arizona
(Enjoy the old west town atmosphere)
Oatman began about 90 years ago as a mining tent camp and quickly became a flourishing gold-mining center. In 1915, two miners struck a $10 million gold find, and within a year, the town's population grew to more than 3,500. Once a thriving mining community, Oatman, Arizona takes visitors back to the days of the Old West with weekend cowboy gunfights and showdowns in the middle of town. Wild burros roam the streets of this popular setting for many movies and TV Westerns. Oatman's most famous visitors were Clark Gable and Carol Lombard who stayed there briefly during their well-publicized "elopement" in the 1930s.
8:00a.m. Meet at the Flamingo's parking lot.
8:30a.m. Caravan departs for Oatman.
MapQuest shows: approx. 49 minutes / 18.60 miles.
A mild off-road trip is planned for those who want to travel from Oatman back to Laughlin through the desert.
The off-roaders and the highway cruisers will meet back in Laughlin at Big Bend State Recreation Area. Big Bend State Recreation Area is located one mile south of Casino Drive on South Needles Highway in Laughlin. Shade ramadas are located along the shoreline in both the day use and boat ramp areas. Some ramadas provide tables and barbeque grills. (BBQ, Mod, Picnic, Mod, Bonfire..?) There is a per vehicle entrance fee.

Sunday Morning 01/29/06: Caravan to Lake Havasu City, Arizona
(Taking over the London Bridge Part III)
Lake Havasu stretches northward for 45 miles behind Parker Dam. Boating, fishing and an array of water sports are available. Straddling the Lake is the famous London Bridge. Brought over brick-by-brick from England and reassembled in 1971, it forms the central focus for an English Village with themed shops and restaurants.
7:30a.m. Meet at the Flamingo's parking lot.
8:00a.m. Caravan departs for Lake Havasu.
MapQuest shows: approx. 1 hour 35 minutes / 67.48 miles.
When we arrive in Lake Havasu we will meet & greet local Avalanche members/owners at Bradley Chevrolet and pre-stage. Once we are ready we will head to the London Bridge Resort & Convention Center parking lot. We will regroup there prior to taking over the London Bridge. After we leave the London Bridge we will meet on the island for a group photo.
If you can stick around after the island, please join us for lunch at the Javelina Cantina.
Monday 01/30/05: Breakfast and Checkout.
