The Marines were in town

Dec 31 - Jan 7/2019 Weather is odd. 50's and low 60's, nights down to 37.  Shivers...

Rain drops in the desert , Lake Havasu City

First time we had to turn our furnace on this fall/winter.   Very cool north wind, sunny but too chilly to ride.  Then RAIN....... yes we could not believe it either, in the desert for a day and a half.  Now sunny again and finally warming up.  We did get out for two short motorcycle rides and we have been here before so it's ok to chill for a few days. 

Today there was Brrrrrrrrrrring, brrrrrrring, brrrrrrring noise overhead.  Wow.  6 massive double blade helicopters in the air.

The Lake Havasu City airport is nearby so we rode over and found a craft brewery and grill and then the choppers came landing while we ate. Tip: in a relatively small city checkout the airport to see if there is a diner, we have found several all over the USA.  They are unique places to watch the air traffic and often have great food.
The waitress said it had been a "blurr" there today which implied the choppers, right?  We agreed the 6 were huge and noisy, and she said "you mean the 60".  WHAT????  Guess we missed the other 54.   The Marines were in town.
