As a transplant from Southern California, August can be a very challenging time of the year for those of us who are now yearround residents of the Colorado River Valley. I moved to Mohave County in 1992, and brought with me the ingrained habits of living in a perfect climate but I soon learned that I either had to move back to So Cal, or adjust my lifestyle accordingly-- and since I like to breathe clean air, I chose to adjust. In spite of the fact that I have lived in this valley for over 20 years, I still find myself tiring of the heat at this point of summer and at times there is almost nothing which can compel me to leave my air conditioned environment! However, spending so much time indoors can contribute to periodic bouts of “cabin fever” and to cope with this temporary state of affairs I have found a pleasurable compromise: go out and have some fun on our beautiful Colorado River--- at night! Our scenic and pristine desert environment has many advantages to summer living and one of them is moonlight kayaking down the Colorado River. This activity will not only boost your morale but also soothes the heat-weary soul. During certain times each month, Desert River Outfitters will take us desert dwellers who are burned-out on air-conditioning, on unique and fun-filled excursions down our very own Colorado River. These adventures allow us to see native wildlife at night and in relative physical comfort. Imagine the sounds of the crystal-clear flowing Colorado as its waters lap against the shoreline, creating its own unique music with ripples and splashes that seem to be in sync with the reflections of a million sparkling stars on its swiftly-flowing current; combine this with a soft, warm nighttime breeze, a gentle coasting motion all set within the framed backdrop of a clear night sky and you will discover nothing short of spectacular! Hot, August nights, you say? I say, “Bring it on!” AUG. 2016 Please Say You Saw It in Around The River Entertainment 9

CELEBRATE THE LAST DAYS OF SUMMER WITH A WEEKEND GETAWAY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY (BPT) - Before those magical summer days vanish into fall, now is a good time to pack your suitcases, load up the car and escape on a final summer adventure. The late days of summer offer much to enjoy for a new segment of traveler: the Seekender. They are bold adventurers who take advantage of the weekend to pursue their passions. Professional surfer Bethany Hamilton knows a few things about the Seekender lifestyle. "With my family, we seek to live the life we love together, especially on the weekend of busy work-filled weeks," Bethany says. Does this sound like you and your family? Get out the map, choose a place you haven't experienced yet and get ready for a fun weekend. This is how Bethany does it: Put a cap on drive time: Don't waste the weekend with hours and hours in the car. Bethany tries to avoid ultra-long travel days, so her little one can get a nap in. Find a destination you can reach without hassle within three hours or so, while the kids doze and relax in the back seat. On Saturday, you'll wake up at your getaway spot, ready to seize the weekend. Think simple: Don't book every hour of the day with an activity. Back off a bit on the planning, and set your sights on one or two spots you'd like to visit each day. Leave some space for relaxation and spontaneity. Go with the flow and consider letting the kids help make the plans for the day. Involving them in the planning will keep everyone's mood elevated and allow for a stress-free trip. Be on the lookout for family friendly activities: Along with the usual parks and museums, don't forget to check for special weekend events in your area. In the final weeks of summer, for example, fair and festival season is in full swing. Set aside some time for the destination's local festivals or state fairs, where the kids can enjoy carnival rides, local music and food. Get outdoors: Embrace the outdoors and the warm weather before it cools down in the fall. Did you know that the National Parks Service maintains 397 parks and 2,461 national landmarks? Bethany has added Yellowstone National Park to her travel bucket list and hopes to experience its natural wonders with her family soon. In the summer months, the parks often offer alpine slides and mountain biking trails, which makes an excellent day trip outing under the sun. Pick the right hotel: Choose a hotel that offers a variety of locations so your entire family can have a good night's sleep wherever you land. Pack up the bags and begin planning your next three-day weekend trip with your family.
Pokemon Go Reaches the Tri-State Area! Pokemon Go has taken the nation by storm, and the Tri-State Area is no exception. Players download the free app onto their smartphones, and begin searching the area for Pokemon creatures viewable through their phones. Word is, there are many poke-stops within a short range in Needles, California. At poke-stops, players can receive virtual gifts of poke-balls, eggs, incense and the like. Poke-stops in Fort Mohave include Fort Mohave Storage and the Fort Mohave Post Office. The Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin also has a poke-stop. Enjoy your stay & play, but don’t forget to stay hydrated. With temps in the 100’s, it’s necessary to take frequent breaks and drink plenty of fluid. For tips or to connect with other local players, visit the “Pokemon Go BHC, NEEDLES, LAUGHLIN” group on Facebook. AUG. 2016 Please Say You Saw It in Around The River Entertainment 13
