Although we’ve been to see the London Bridge at Lake Havasu City, Arizona, a few times we went for another visit today.  Um..I should mention that it was 80F and sunny and just a beautiful day.

London Bridge at Lake Havasu City, Arizona

On both sides of the canal that runs under the bridge is a nice paved riverwalk so we walked up and down both sides and enjoyed the views.  The Lake Havasu Lighthouse Club is a group of citizens dedicated to improving the navigational lighting on Lake Havasu.  They have placed small-scale replicas of actual American lighthouses along the canal and on the lake shore.  We saw a few of them today.

After all that walking we returned to Craggy Wash for the rest of the day.  Since the sun was so cooperative today I prepared a package of cornbread mix to cook in my home-made solar oven that I had made a few months ago.  I have cooked vegetables a few times with great success but I wanted to see how cornbread would work, so this is my experiment.

Did I mention it was 80 degrees?  Oh, yes, I did.

Cook, Cook, Cook

I stuck an oven thermometer next to the covered pot and it read 200F while it cooked.  I wasn’t sure of the time required, so I let it go two hours.  That was generous; I think 1.5 hours may have been enough today.  I was surprised to see how nice it looked!  It even browned!

People in the RV beside us were curious about the solar oven and came to see it when I set it up.  I was so excited about how well it turned out that I took some over to them.  I will do this again.  Maybe next time I’ll try something like banana bread…maybe even cake!

Perfect!
