More Laughlin - [part 3] And then the storm came

Strolling along the walkway there are many sights to see. The Frontier Casino has spring flowers in February and benches to sit and enjoy the view.



The Colorado Belle is quite unique , almost like being on an old time Paddle Boat.

,

The view of the mountains and the airport. It is fun to watch the planes, big and small take off.

Birds on Sand bar when the water is low.

A plane leaving the runway in Bull Head City as seen from our room in Hotel.

The weather changes quickly.

Wednesday after we got back from our Boat tour the clouds started rolling in and the water in the River changed color.

The winds started to blow. Boats were in a hurry to get back to their docks,. The sky got very dark and the rain blew sideways. Then we see the Port of Laughlin Boat Tour, that had left the dock after our tour, coming to its mooring in the downpour with the top flapping in the wind. They had been gone 30 minutes of a 90 minute ride. Nice and dry we catch all this from our 7th

floor window.

.

Even the Water Taxis quit running.

The Captain and first mate gathered some workers and went back to remove the canvas before more damage occurred. Early the next morning a new top was in place and all were ready to resume the River Tours again.

Pretty soon the sun came out , it seemed to light up the Home Depot and then....

The Rainbows Appeared.

We could see both ends of the rainbow, but like our gambling luck no pot of gold .

--Again the Home Depot seems to be the blessed spot today.

Thursday morning breakfast with Peggy and Heide, friends of Connie's from South Padre Island who made the trip to Laughlin with us.. Thank you Heide!!!
