Sometimes I wonder if we really are in the desert and this one of one those times. It started raining around 5:30am and didn’t stop to around 9:30am. The sun came out for a little while then the clouds came back. Decided to take a drive into Lake Havasu today as the weather didn’t seem like it was going to co-operate to allow any real exploring of the area.

On the previous trip into Lake Havasu we missed the lobby of the London Bridge Resort where the only replica of England’s Legendary Gold Stage Coach can be found. The original was built in 1762 to replace Queen Anne’s coach and was pulled by a team of eight matched horses. It has reportedly carried every British Monarch since King George III to the coronation at Westminster Abbey.

I can’t complain about the rain and cool weather as snow fell at higher altitudes. Areas around Phoenix and Tuscon also received snow. Hope mother nature gets winter out of its system before we move to the Phoenix area.
