Desert Living

I havent posted in awhile because we haven’t done anything really exciting. When we left White Tanks we spent a night in Buckeye so we could prepare for our stay in Quartzite.

We arrived in Quartzite early on Thursday so we missed a lot of the traffic that is expected for the RV Show and Gem and Mineral Show which start on Saturday. Our spot in the desert is near where we stayed three years ago so basicly 1-1/2 miles from town on the side of a large wash, with few neighbors, in the desert.

Our daily routine is to sleep until 7, breakfast at 8, bike into town around 9 or so, back at the RV mid-afternoon for naps, walk or go back to town, then supper and a quiet evening until bedtime. There are several miles of vendors selling anything you might need like tools, kitchen supplies, RV supplies, outdated food and drugs, not to mention tons and tons of gems, beads and rocks! Then there are the junk/collectables vendors; fair clothes, hats, belts, & scarves sellers; honey, oil, soap, etc; and food, of course, like corn dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, tacos, gyros and the list goes on. And did i say junk?!

We met friends Sharon and Dwight for lunch on Saturday. Haven’t heard of any other acquaintences in the area.
