Quartzsite Once Again

 

DSC03766

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.

The weather’s been great and the sunsets spectacular.

  5. Wow, those sunsets are stunning!
    Hiking 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!
