We took a daily trip to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge. On our way we went through Quartzsite and just after we got out of town we saw a tree on the side of the highway. Hanging from the tree were"shoes" of all types and sizes. There is no sign around to let you know how and why they are there. I took some pictures and sent them to our children. I said "you've heard of shoe trees, well here is one blooming". I told them the "legend is that an old prospector planted some old shoes and watered them and now the tree has shoes each year". 
The ride to Lake Havasu is real pretty. You can see the Colorado River and the lakes along side the road.There are a lot of nice big homes and RV Parks right on the river.
We arrived in Lake Havasu and there in all it's glory is the original London Bridge.Some years ago a wealthy man bough the London Bridge and had it dismantled stone by stone and brought over to Arizona. While they were reconstructing it they dug a large lake that went under the bridge. The canal goes out and connects with the Colorado River. This is one place in Arizona that is a must to see.
