Without California “River People”, Havasu City wouldn’t exist....so let’s not go kneejerk, here.
You would be surprised at the numbers of natives. Ford had their test track there and a lot of them lived in the Havasu area. We loved it there. One weekend the CA people came in and we left. When we returned, the pool area was trashed and personal items all over the place. Had to keep the kids out until it was cleaned. Uck.
