Did an afternoon trip today to Parker Dam which is the deepest dam in the world, with 73% of it height of 320’ below original waterbed. It’s primary purpose is to supply reservoir storage which is what Lake Havasu is, a 45 mile long with 450’ elevation.
After viewing the dam, we went came back through the other side – California to Parker AZ through the back country – difference in scenery again from what we have previous seen. The different aray of mountain terrain is spectacular, just like the pictures they do of the state. Again we were warned about burros. Well, this time we did spot some on the side of the road and I now have evidence that they are out there, there were right by the side of the road, not bothering any one, just munching on shrubs.
