Quartzsite, AZ


Here's the January and March picture of the Quartzsite area. It's looking north. The big tent in the upper picture is only set-up for a week and has vendors selling everything imagineable for RVs. And "dreams"...many of the states and the Provinces of Canada are here passing out brochures and maps encouraging the RVers to come visit. It's great fun! Norman loves seeing all the new gadgets, and I love going through picking up all the free stuff I can find. This year I made Norman jealous when I found free red licorice...lol. And the biggee for this year was the free pancake mix in a can like RealWhip comes in. I guess the pancakes were good, but we tried it in the wafflemaker, and it was just too thin. Norman goes nearly every day to this tent. He's always finding new stuff to look at.

If you look at the highway overpass in the upper photo, you will see it's lined with cars. The town now has three stoplights, two are at each end of the overpass. This is where we get backed up for miles on Hwy 95 coming out of Yuma. And just to get around takes sometimes 5 to 10 minutes to cross the overpass. Sheesh...what we'll do for fun.
