Havasu is actually a pretty cool place to live and visit. Small town feel with a good sized lake and connecting river. How many cities or places can you live where you can go boating after work? Not many.

I'd be a little more cautious about what you call a shithole. I'm sure there are people out there who think your town is a shithole.
Very True!

While NorCal is pretty the weather sucks and the lakes don't have the same feel that the river has. Personally I love the desert scenery more than the green forest. The Colorado river has been a huge part of performance boating. NorCal not so much.

I was just talking with a friend at dinner last night about why I boat there. He couldn't believe I drive 4.5 hours from OC as many times a year as I do. The water is so clean and refreshing, the beaches are nice and there aren't a ton of rules that many CA lakes have. Speed limits being a huge one!

I live in very congested area of Orange County and while I love where I live, it's so nice to just get out of there and visit Mohave Valley or Lake Havasu. It's a relaxing feeling that's tough to describe. I always say, "You're either a river rat, or you're not. There's no in between."
