Lake Have a sue
I headed for Lake Havasu about 9 a.m., figuring that would put me in the boondocking area I wanted to go to after the people who were going to leave today had left. Of course, there are several BLM boondocking areas around Lake Havasu and many Arizona trust lands, so it's never a problem finding a spot to boondock. For me, it's about finding the best one.
Unfortunately, they closed the best boondocking area, which was right across the street from SARA Park, and had just about every entertaining thing you could think of and where I used to stay all the time.
They had sports fields where you could watch people playing baseball or soccer on the weekends.
They had several hiking trails both easy and challenging.
They had an RC flying field with real experts flying RC planes.
Handy dumpsters are scattered around to get rid of your trash.
A large skateboard park.
A rodeo arena. And other things that I've forgotten about.
I've heard various rumors about why they closed that boondocking area. One reason was that a nearby housing area didn't want campers close to their houses. I'm not sure why that would be. We boondockers are not very noisy and don't make a mess, so maybe my unfortunate resemblance to a homeless person put some people off. But there are plenty of places to boondock in the Lake Havasu area, so closing that one place was no big deal.

I can’t remember the name of this place, and I’m too lazy to look it up, but it’s a BLM boondocking area about 6 miles north of town and 3 miles north of Walmart.
It’s a pretty, fairly popular place, and it shows that we boondockers can boondock in the mountains and the flatlands. it doesn’t matter where we’re at, we’re always at home.
I don’t know how long I’ll be in Lake Havasu, probably until next week or when I get tired of correcting my dictation software when it tries to write Lake Have a shoe.
