Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 1.8 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Lake Havasu City instead of crossing town between them. London Bridge is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at London Bridge Beach — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it.
