Sunday – February 12 – Well, what a day, the weather was beautiful so we headed to Quartzsite about 9:45 a.m. It was about 1-1/2 hour drive and there was some interesting scenery. There were lots of interesting looking mountain formations and we saw lots of areas where people were boondocking (dry camping), but not as many as we thought. We got Quartzsite and found a parking spot which happened to be across from Beaudry RV so we went over to check out their RV’s. After wandering around for quite a while we noticed a large tent where they were serving food, it turned out the food was free and they had hamburgs with all the fixings, baked beans, potato chips, cookies (absolutely to die for!) and tea, coffee, etc. All of it was very good!

Now that we had sustenance, we headed for the shopping. What a variety of wares, some junk, some nice stuff, but we wandered around for about 4 hours. I got a hat, which I have been trying to find for ages, a really neat wind spinner with hummingbirds and John bought me a couple of pairs of really nice earrings for Valentine’s Day. A lot of the vendors were packing up for the season so we lucked out and got most of the stuff on sale. We were really glad that we went today as I think that by next weekend there will be a lot less vendors. We didn’t see half of the stuff, I think it would take a couple of days to cover it all.

On the way back the sun was going down and was really nice on the mountains so hopefully John got a couple of good pictures (we haven’t had time to download them yet). We were all wiped when we got back so this is a quiet evening.
