A Trip To Quartzsite

Quartzsite is about 24 miles from where we are parked over the Quinn Pass and down into the valley. We headed over that way today to get the seals Michael needed and spent the rest of the day browsing and eating. There are way more people in Quartzsite this week than last and parking is definitely becoming a problem! Can't wait until the actual RV show starts--should be a zoo!

This is a photograph of one of the BLM LTVA camping spots--looks like a desert parking lot doesn't it. Many of the rigs are organized groups or friends parking together but a lot of the rigs just seem to like to camp right next to someone--guess they miss being in a RV park (shame on me)!
We are looking for either a propane radiant heater or a blue flame heater for the rig. The furnace is our largest power draw and while we haven't had to run the furnace except in the early morning and once in the evening, when you are boondocking, that is an issue. And, we have definitely decided we like boondocking much better!

Also on our wish list is a Cradlepoint router but so far we have found that Quartzsite is much more expensive than the internet! for everything!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch before heading back over the pass to our home in the desert. Emmi went along and was one pooped puppy when we got back to the rig--way too much walking she says.
