Nothing about Lake Havasu was good. I did not "choose" to visit Lake Havasu. I had a long desert drive and it seemed like a slightly better option than running out of gas in the middle of the desert late at night, so I stopped.
I tried to get a bite to eat at a burger place with "good reviews". I didn't expect fine china but I thought maybe, you know... a plate. Nope. Lousy beer menu. I chose water but then stopped drinking it after a single sip and my inability to discern what exactly it tasted like while also wondering why my water had any taste at all. They "served" me a mediocre burger and worse fries wrapped in paper with some funky homemade ketchup that tasted like tomato paste with sugar on top.
Then 13 (yes, I counted) super friendly Midwestern tourists decided they liked my dog so they jumped over the 4-foot fence, taking care not to spill their Miller Lite, to come join me at my covered outside seating and then chatted me up about all things casserole, tattoos, and boat racing over the smell of their cigarettes and the soothing sounds of their crying children.
My mind escaped to thoughts of, "I hope these people don't actually vote" and I hope these people don't visit other countries and cause said countries to think this is a reference standard of what America produces". Alas, I fear I am wrong on both accounts. This was just one experience and possibly does not reflect the entirety of Lake Havasu. But, from the visual cues around me over the next 10 hours I was there, it seems fairly representative. If the U.S. nuclear arsenal needs another desert nuke test site, I might select Lake Havasu.
