Q aka Quartzsite, AZ

Getting out of Yuma, well, Boo's backyard took a while the morning we left for Quartzsite. Fred n Joanne were parked in the driveway behind us, therefore two of us had to disconnect our RVs. Here's a pic of their RV going back into the driveway. Lucky for them we left. Now they have all the hook-ups. They had been a week without dumping their tanks. A couple has to be real stingy with their water usage, including flushing the toilet, in order to make it for a week.

I guess everyone got tired of saying the whole name of this little town...now it's 'Q'. We were the first to arrive in our spot in the desert. The couple who is always 'first' couldn't make it down from Eugene this year...sad ;-( AND they didn't send us a blueprint of circling the RVs. Norman and I had coach in half a dozen different places before settling down. Then as each couple arrived we had to hear, "You're too close to the road". Well, everyone just laughed about it AND the party got into gear.

Not near as many people arrived in the area this year. They missed some very, VERY nice weather. We didn't even have to put on heavy jackets to sit around the campfire each evening...GOOD FIRES...SKY FULL OF STARS ABOVE...GOOD FRIENDS...what could be better.

We didn't do much shopping this year...thank goodness. Laughed over some of the bargains(?) we found. Norman tried very hard to buy some stuff, but only managed a 'free' repair of our tow bar. I tried to dance with the Geico gecko, but he was tied down.

More on the Q trip later....
