To go, or not to go? That is the question.

It's yet another beautiful day today. Tomorrow's supposed to be a little cloudy, and I look forward to it. I plan on going to town tomorrow and taking a few pictures, but I'm wondering how the Super Bowl will affect a tourist area like the London Bridge here in Lake Havasu.

Now, the Super Bowl has no effect on me whatsoever, having lost all interest in football when I moved out of Miami, Florida, when I was a Miami Dolphins fan. But I'm wondering if the Super Bowl will cause the London Bridge tourist area to be less crowded because everyone will be watching the Super Bowl, or more congested; after all, the Super Bowl is in the late afternoon, so a lot of people might want to go to the London Bridge in the morning so they can get back home and watch the Super Bowl. Or maybe it makes no difference at all.

I know "Spring Break" makes a big difference, which is usually sometime in March. Lake Havasu is a very popular area for spring breakers, and there's no way I would be anywhere around this area during spring break, so that shouldn't be a problem. But what effects there would be during Super Bowl Day is a mystery.

If the Super Bowl festivities started late afternoon, many folks would do something else in the morning. But since the Super Bowl preshow and the Super Bowl pre-preshow begin long before that, many people make a day of it; So they may not want to leave their television set after breakfast fearing they might miss a single television personality’s opinion on who's going to win the Super Bowl. And by the way, television personalities’ opinions are no more accurate than my opinion, and I don't even have an opinion.

When I first got here, the area where I boondocked was getting a little crowded, so I moved to a different area. There are fewer RVs around me now.

 
 
 

The mountains around me glow bright red for just a few minutes during sunset. It doesn't last long, but it's a real treat when it happens.

 
 
 
 

The boondocking area I'm at is a BLM-dispersed camping area called "Lone Tree."

See if you can spot the reason for the name. Hint: You shouldn't have to zoom in.
