Hello Everyone!
We left Tucson around 9:15 Monday morning and arrived in Quartzsite, Arizona at 3:00. It was an uneventful drive as we drove on interstate most of the way.
As we drove over a hill a couple of miles before Quartzsite, we saw rvs to the right and left of us for miles!
We are staying in a Bureau of Land Management area where camping is free. There are no hookups and it doesn't have a dump station. We will stay here until we fill our black water tank.
The area we are in has about 100 rvers who belong to Escapees Boomers. There are several crossovers who also subscribe to the Military Campgrounds Site. The creator of the site is parked near us. We enjoyed meeting Larry and his wife Connie as we have used the website many times and visited their personal website, too.
The Boomers are a fun group. There is something going on all the time: geocache classes, 4 wheeling, beading, scrapbooking, writing, walking, reading, computer info, and just chatting. Happy hour is at 4 p.m. daily and every night there is a campfire in the middle of the social area.
We will take some pictures of the area and post them soon.
Tuesday we went into the town of Quartzsite. It is a booming place right now with 150,000+ rvers temporarily camping in the area. There is an rv show and flea market now. Soon there will be a crafters show and after that a gem and mineral show.
Traffic in town is bumper to bumper after 10:00 a.m. We were lucky enough to go early and get a parking space before the crowds arrived. Because this is the desert, the dust with all these vehicles is unbelievable.
The weather has been great. It is cold at night, but warm in the daytime with clear blue skies. We have not seen rain since El Paso when it rained a few drops at Bobby's house.
After Quartzsite, we will head east with a destination of Florida at the end of February.
