It must have happened some time ago as there is not much left of what was once an RV, the larger pieces having been taken away. The boxy object on the left side is the remains of the oven. When RVs catch on fire, unless there is a fire department nearby they almost always burn completely. That looks like what happened here. A quick internet search found nothing about what happened. We trust the occupants were safe and unharmed. This is most definitely NOT one of the joys of RVing.
Quartzsite is famous for it’s sunsets, and as if it was going all out to have our final sunset be memorable, this is what it served up. I admit having to use my image editing app, Affinity Photo, to remove several people standing in the foreground who were also taking pictures, but other than that, what you see is what we saw. Our group has dwindled in size and we shall miss the many new friends we made, but tomorrow we “amble” further south towards Yuma and another desert parking area that we have stayed at many times in the past. Life just gets better and better.
There are no designated roads in the desert camping area where our group of LTV RVs are parked. So how does one find us? The GPS of our location is posted online, but that still begs the question, when a new arrival leaves the paved road, how do they wind there away through the desert to where our group is parked. It is by following the yellow boot road of course! At strategic points the awesome organizer of this wonderful get together has hung yellow boots from bushes along the way. They may not lead to the land of OZ, but they do lead to the land of LTVs and their very welcoming owners.
Our nightly campfire. We all see life from our own perspective. The people seated in the image see the fire one way, the people on the opposite side see the fire through a different lens. People who don’t travel see only what they always have. People who travel see a whole new world.
Instead of pointing the camera towards the people on the opposite side of the fire, if the camera is pointed at the fire an entirely different view can be seen. Looking at the large log in the center one can visualize a face. The forehead, then an eye glowing red and next a nose. When we open our eyes to what is around us we never know what we will encounter. May something new and wonderous appear in your life today.
Today we replaced our old AGM batteries with lithium batteries. This will make a huge difference in how much battery power we can use. The new batteries have nearly the same dimensions as the old ones, so they fit into the battery compartment with very few modifications. There is a front panel which has been removed in the photos which holds them in place so they don’t move when we are driving. It will need to be slightly modified , but that is a job for either Thursday or Friday. We were very happy it was so easy to switch them out. LifeBlueTM is very a good battery which makes our life very good indeed!
