A bridge too far!

Staying in Lake Havasu City founded in 1964 by a chap called McCulloch. He was a nice chap and thought that London Bridge would look good here so, in true American style, he bought it. The bridge in 1962, was not structurally sound enough to support the increased load created by the level of modern London traffic crossing it, and it was sold by the City of London to McCulloch. The Parker Dam spans the Colorado River between Arizona and California, 155 miles downstream from Hoover Dam. Built between 1934 and 1938 by the Bureau of Reclamation, Parker Dam is operated with Hoover and Davis Dams to bring water and power benefits to residents of the lower Colorado River Basin. It is 45 miles long and can store nearly 211 billion gallons of water. Lake Havasu itself is 45 miles long and is actually a Colorado River reservoir that was created when the Parker Dam was completed in 1938. It is a desert lake surrounded by cliff walls and offers plenty of room for boating Lake Havasu City is also home to the famed London Bridge and under the bridge there is an English Village of shops and restaurants. Did I tell you that a dog did a poo outside my tent door last night? I asked the campsite bloke what all the holes were around the site. He told me they were desert python snakes about a foot thick that can suffocate you to death in your tent. I told him about the Loch Ness monster and he seemed to believe me? 1.
