Calico Ghost Town is located at the intersection of Calico and Ghost Town Roads off Interstate 15 near Yermo. These are the remnants of an actual town and silver mine abandoned many years back and now a tourist attraction. I had a Calico Sheriff badge when I was young. You can enter a portion of the original mine, ride a narrow gauge train and watch a gun fight reenactment by actors dressed in period clothing. POW!
The Knott family purchased this 1881 ghost town and started inviting tourists. Having little success at drawing tourists to the location, the Knott's built a replica of Calico on their berry farm in Buena Park. Knott's Berry Farm is now one of the great amusement parks in California and still has the original Calico replica on site.

Lake Havasu is located on the California border with Arizona between Highways 40 and 62. This is the only Arizona address on this web site since most of the population along this lake is in Arizona. Houseboating, speed boating, water skiing, fishing, sunbathing and people watching are the main attractions. The actual 'London Bridge' was moved here and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City. This is a very popular destination for college students and partiers during the Spring and Summer breaks. This is a great place to water ski or learn to if you've never done it before.
NOTE: Havasu can get crazy during Spring Break (late March) and the Summer months.
