Just because we are boondocking in the desert doesn’t mean we have to forgo our normal way of life on the road. Our rooftop solar panels have been fully charging our batteries by 10:30 to 11:00 every morning. This morning we turned on the inverter and watched a number of YouTube videos about Quartzsite on the front TV. When your home has wheels, you always have the comforts of home with you.
Potluck – A meal when everyone brings a dish of their choice to share with the group. Churches are known to be a hot bed of potluck dinners, but RVers are also big on this wonderful taste treat. The best part is you pick what you want to put on your plate by what it looks like. Tonight we all had a good laugh over one dish that looked exactly like a fruit salad consisting of sliced pears smothered in whipped cream. It turned out to be sliced potatoes smothered in sour cream. That is the fun of having a potluck, you never know what it is going to taste like when you take that first bite.
One thing that makes Quartzsite so special is the sunsets. The image says it all.
The word desert conjures up an image of sand, but that is not what the desert around Quartzsite is. The surface is covered with rocks allowing vehicles of all types to drive on it. This has been an almost perfect week so far, weather-wise, with gentle breezes at times and daytime temperatures in the 70’s falling into the 40’s at night. The best part is the bright sun all day long that allows our solar panels to completely recharge our batteries each day.
Shopping a Quartzsite isn’t just going into store though there are some here, it’s the acres of tents that sell virtually anything and everything. Over the years we have tried to explain what Quartzsite is to friends an acquaintances, but the only way to understand what it is, is to experience it.
