Yesterday we started preparing for desert camping by getting the laundry done and grocery shopping. We then filled every water container we have available so that we can stay as long as we want without having to fill the water tank after 3 or 4 day.
It is only a 2 hour drive from Palm Springs to Quartzite, AZ but we lose an hour at the border changing time zones. The traffic is starting to build up around Quartzite as RV Week starts on Saturday. We pulled into an RV lot in the Born Free to look at a Monaco RV that John had learned was here. We wanted them to see our rig and we wanted to look at theirs. We talked with a couple of salesmen and asked them for a price. They want to play games!
The gas stations all have lines and there are lines getting into the BLM land where we will camp. We were able to claim the same spot we had last year because it's off the main road, only a mile from town and has a feeling of being by ourselves. But we're not really alone as we can see hundreds of other RV's all around us.
By the time we got settled in, it was 3 pm and we hadn't eaten lunch! Our friends from CO joined us at our site about that time as well. We renewed our friendship as we basked in the setting sun, built a big fire and had a wonderful evening.
