We first came to Quartzsite in January of 2010 and swore we would never return. For some reason we decided to give it another try in 2011. This year, 2016, is now the fifth time we’ve come during the big RV show in January, joining the Lazy Daze Homeless Camp once again, a really nice group of people.
It’s been a very busy week, socializing with old friends, making new friends, and shopping at the Big Tent and flea markets in town. We don’t need any major purchases this year but have picked up a few odds and ends. It’s always fun just looking around at all the junk. Suzanne treated us to pizza at Silly Al’s on my birthday. It’s loud and crowded at this time of year, but they make a surprisingly good pizza, and is one of those iconic Quartzsite “must go at least once” kind of places.
It’s always fun to see the variety of RVs parked around the desert.
Most of our “hiking” this week has been the walk to the shopping areas from our campsite, about a mile one way. We’ve walked many more miles up and down all the rows of the Tyson Wells flea market. And took a hike up Q Mountain, if you can call 200’ a mountain.
Some of our group at the top.
Nice views of Quartzsite from the mountain.
The weather’s been great and the sunsets spectacular.
We have company coming today, but I’ll save that for the next post. Hope to see some of you this Saturday at the Blogger Fest!

ReplyDeleteWe do like Silly Al's pizza.
ReplyDeleteMiss those sunsets! Enjoy the Bloggerfest! Should be a lot of fun.
The sunsets make up for all the crazy - which we too will return to in the future :-) Have a great time at the blogfest, sure hate missing it.
ReplyDeleteFun time with new and old friends:) Maybe one year we'll join the crowd! Enjoy the Blogger Fest!
ReplyDeleteWow, those sunsets are stunning!
ReplyDeleteHiking the Q mountain was quite fun with great views of all those gleaming RVs in the desert. Although we did not say we won't come back, we have not said we will either, so who knows. Where else can you have fun with old friends and meet new friends... at the big RV party at the Q!
We are out at Dome Rock. Would love to hike up Q...do you start on the back side? Plan to see you Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWe were in at Palm Canyon today, but were gone by the time you got there ;-(

ReplyDeleteReally does sound like fun. I keep wondering if I would like it. Being parked that close so you can walk is nice,so is pizza. Happy Birthday!! I sure would love to come to Bloggerfest.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wild and crazy time. Not sure if we'll ever make it, but it's fun to read the tales of those who have!
ReplyDeleteBloggerfest sounds fun. I doubt if I would find my way.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time meeting everyone here. Thanks for posting this and joining us.
ReplyDeleteLove Silly Al's
