Quartzsite, AZ

Trying to play catch up with our posts and where we have been. I’ll be breaking mine up so it is not one huge post. =)

Never really posted that much on Quartzsite, AZ. We were there from Apr 16-18th. Learned real quick that nearly 90% of the seasonal business is closed by April 15th….lol That was interesting. We did find an all year RV resort of 88 Shades (I did comment on it in this post )

We stopped at T Rocks, which was really cool. I’ve never seen so many different kinds of rocks and minerals before. Loved all the different colors. If we didn’t RV, I would so get some for a garden or just have around the house. If you never been a rock hound, you have to stop here and see all the beauty that is in them.

We went to the Yacht Club, just because whoever heard of a yacht club in the middle of the desert?!? lol The food was reasonable priced and tasty. I really enjoyed the fish, the bartender was nice. There was only one issue, the “town drunk”….ggrrr…hubby had red flags going off about him. He just would not leave us alone due to us being the only ones in there that wasn’t local. Totally ruined it for us. If he wasn’t there, we would recommend it.

Now the place you HAVE to stop at is the Reader’s Oasis Books ran by Paul “Sweet Pie” Winer ….the Naked Book Guy…lol. Loads of different used books and even some old vinyl. He has a baby grand buried under some books that he will be more then happy to play you one of his original bluesy songs and will entertain you with all sorts of stories from his touring days. We throughly enjoyed stopping in there and getting a earful from him.

Not sure If we would do any length of time in winter at Quartzsite…we aren’t much into crowds. But we would like to see what it is like when it is in season and just to experience it.

Feels Like a Holiday!!

Just a quick happy post.

FINALLY got our order of rv supplies….which has a hassle in itself since they do not ship to a PO Box….ggeezzz

Other then the shipping issues, so happy to get it. We finally got a water regulator so no more having to fill up our fresh tank and use our water pump while hooked up. That is a HUGE plus, when you are not boon docking, the water pump noise can drive you batty….lol Plus it helps you save life on your pump.

We got our sewer hose support and wheel covers to protect in the hot sun while we sit here for the next few months. Feel like we are getting ourselves better set up.

Little things like that makes my day…..grin

We have a few friends that would totally love some of this for their yards.
