Prepping for Quartzsite

Saturday was spent doing laundry, washing the Jeep, and grocery shopping all to get ready to head for Quartzsite on Sunday. We also filled as many extra jugs and jars as we could with water. Then on Saturday night we had dinner with our friends at The Jackalope Ranch -- good food. Is a jackalope real?? Then we attended a Bonnie Raitt concert.

Sunday we got going pretty early and arrived in Quartzsite around noon. The desert for 3-5 miles around this small town is dotted with thousands of RV's. We unhitched the Jeep so we could easily scout out a camping spot. We opted to stay in the Long-Term Visitor Area which costs money but we will have access to water and a dump station at no extra cost. We have a nice spot but it seems to be on a major thoroughfare, with cars kicking up LOTS of dust. We may move tomorrow. The good thing is we are just a short one mile bike ride through the desert to all the activity in town.
