Unfortunately, the title of today's post is a reality! A weather system has rolled in, with showers, wind, and lower temperatures. The bad weather notwithstanding, this is the kick off day for the biggest boating event of the year in Lake Havasu, and perhaps in the entire western states. Extreme performance boats from all over the country, capable of speeds close to 200 m.p.h., show up for this event.
At the moment, it's raining, and the kick off party on main street looks as if some of these big boys toys will be more wet than shiny. With today's display of many of the incredible machines in town, the poker run tomorrow, and the big top speed shootout on Saturday, hopefully this system will blow out of here, and our normal warm sunshine will return. The weather here can change very quickly, and perhaps later today, it will do just that, and we won't have to take our umbrellas downtown.
THE TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES OF DAN AND PATTY CHANCE
About Me
- DAN
- VAIL (Tucson), Arizona
- Patty & I have been married for 33 great years, & have raised 3 children. Mike & Marc - mine. David - hers. We lost our beloved Beagle Sami in April, 2013, and our kitty Gracie in Sep. Since retiring from co-ownership of Jamestown Harley-Davdson in 2001, we have traveled all over the U.S. in 2 different motor homes. In 2002 and 2003, we traveled the N.H.R.A. Drag Race circuit, pulling the Harley-Davidson, Screaming Eagle merchandise trailer. In the summers of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, Patty worked retail and I drove a tour bus in Skagway, Alaska. The summer of 2008, I worked as a supervisor for the Glacier National Park transit system in N.W. Montana. During the summer of 2009, we decided to travel, and completed a 5 and 1/2 month, 12,000 mile loop around the U.S. and Canada. During the summer of 2010, we traveled mostly in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon & Washington. We spent the summers of 2011 & 2012, working at the Grand Canyon, where I drove a transit bus, and Patty worked in the General Store. The winters have mostly been spent at our home in Lake Havasu City. We recently relocated the home base to Tucson, AZ.
