GETTIN DOWN WITH THE BREHMS, 4 JUNE, 2013


PRINCESS DIANA CHECKS OUT THE LONDON BRIDGE



We were abducted and forced to do the touristy thing in Havasu which included wandering among the British artifacts at the London Bridge and having lunch at the Mudshark.

LONDON BRIDGE, LAKE HAVASU



I'm sure everyone knows the story of Havasu City and Mr. McCullough, the chain saw king, so I won't go into that. We took a day trip from Parker to check out Lake Havasu and Havasu City.

GUESS WHERE WE ARE




Here we are in beautiful Provo. I think we are at about 6000 ft. It is June, but there is still a lot of snow in the mountains. Provo has about anything any other good sized city has, plus BYU.

OUR CAMP IN PROVO



We arrived in Provo May 30. We are camped at the Elks Lodge with full hook ups. Notice the snow in the peaks behind us. The folks here are great, we have met some real nice people, both campers and Elks. They have a full menu, a matre di and live piano dinner music on Fridays Saturday they had a BBQ rib cook-off with live band, which was good.

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS




Well worth the drive. These falls were on the road to Sundance and Mt. Timpanogos. We saw them from the road and decided we wanted a better view, so we pulled off the road and parked at Nunns Park. There is hiking trail in the park that leads to the falls.

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS 2



There is still a bunch of snow in the mountains, so the falls keep falling. A beautiful site to just stop and stare at.

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS AGAIN



Sorry for all the pictures of the same water falls, but they were magnificent from any angle or distance, so I went nuts..

UTAH TROUT



These guys were plentiful in the creek that runs off Bridal Veil Falls. See how clear the water is? and cold too.

MT. TIMPANOGOS TRAIL MAP



This was the end of our day trip up in the mountains. There is a parking lot here for hikers to depart from. We elected to take this picture instead of hiking in the snow.
