On Wednesday we drove further into Arizona with the idea of staying somewhere near Lake Havasu. We ended up north of Lake Havasu City at another lovely little BLM spot called Craggy Wash. We ended up staying there for 2 nights as the weather much further north was reputably rainy and windy, but this area of Arizona was still relatively warm and toasty. There were a bunch of campers about a mile off the road in the first available areas, but we kept going and going. The little wash goes back for quite a ways and the further you head back in the less people there are. At some point we turned right off the main wash and ended up in a lovely little spot where we could just see Lake Havasu down below peaking between the hillsides. We hiked around on Thursday and clambered over rocks and we were treated to a beautiful rainbow. I am beginning to appreciate how different one spot can look in different lights at different times of days and with different cloud cover. The shadow play of light on a rocky hill can be a lovely thing. It makes me want to chase it like a silly old billy goat. Or I guess Big Horned Sheep would be more appropriate for this area.
