Quartzsite drive to Alamo Lake



           We were told by some other RV'ers that a nice drive is 75 miles north east of Quartzsite to Alamo Lake. Ok, I'll bite! Threw the dogs in the car and headed out mid-morning to the town of Brenda on Hwy 60. We stayed on 60 and went through a few other less than memorable towns until you arrive at Salome, Az.  Take a left in the middle of town then drive another 40 miles to the lake. 




I'm a little embarrassed because the lake was so unimpressive and muddy from recent rains...I didn't take a photo of it. We went to the dam overlook though so not all was lost. 


                 Here are the dam and lake specifics. The river that flows in and from the dam, 36 miles to Lake Havasu is the Bill Williams.   


                   
                   Oh my, these folks do know Donna and I all too well, ha ha


Donna loves these little road-side churches. After leaving Salome we headed the long way towards Phoenix, which added 30 miles but what the heck...we would of missed this little cutie had we taken the same route home.


Donna is pointing out that as small as this church is, it had some beautifully stained glass windows. 


Now you might at first glance think this is sacrilegious, but I was ordained for one day in Santa Barbara County so I could marry my son and daughter-in-law...so, pass the collection plate please!
