Another fun and busy week in the desert. We’ve got not just one but two hot air balloon festivals coming up. I gave been to the one in Havasu and it was fantastic! The balloons, food, displays, and shopping were well worth the drive. While up there, you can also do the jetboat tour and checkout Buses by the Bridge to see the many old VW vans and like let your hair down, man.
Quartzsite has it’s own balloon festival as well as art shows, rc planes on display, the annual Hi Jolly Daze Parade, and some truly wonderful entertainment provided by the New Christie Minstrels and Paul Winer, the naked guy and a fine musician. Don’t worry. He wears clothes for these performances. Tickets go fast for these shows so act fast.
