Quartzsite is not just a town, but an experience! Every RVer needs to go there at least once.
It is a city in the desert of every type and size of RV gather in the desert to attend a large tent swap meet and RV show. Our friends were parked south of Q, and we left here at daybreak to make the 75 mile trip. I catered them breakfast. Took them Breakfast Burritos made from scratch.
This little plane was handiwork hung in the meeting tent. We have some talented members in the group. Mr. IYQ carves and whittles and is working on a beautiful recipe box.
We went into Q for lunch at the Palo Verde Restaurant and walked around some of the booths and displays with another couple.
I tripped over a curb and fell on my face, so have been nursing my scrapes and bruises the rest of the week! We were looking for a certain ice cream booth, and we found it. After all that pain, I wasn't going home without some!
After a little more browsing, we made our way back to where the wagons were circled, had a wonderful visit and potluck supper.
Topped the day off with stories around the campfire, then hit the trail back to our home on wheels in Yuma.
Wednesday we did some touring and sightseeing up around Martinez Lake and had lunch at the Marina.
In the afternoon we drove the loop to the Imperial Dam, checked out an RV Park and Golf Course and back to town.
We drove through some U.S. Proving Ground territory, watched some parachuters and heard some very large guns being tested.
It's great to watch our Aircraft and Soldiers work and the equipment displays are awesome.
Thursday we drove around to look at Real Estate and Friday was a rather full day as we spent a few hours at the Arizona Marketplace.
Great food vendors, complete with live music. It's fun to watch people eat hot dogs and dance at noon! picked up some new patio chairs and in the evening we attended a Mobster Dinner and Dance here at the resort.The Service group here served us a yummy speghetti dinner. A good time was had by all!
Saturday we went to a Model Home Open House and I won a 32" TV!
Today we decided to go the the pool and relax, the sun was out, but by the time we got over there, it was gone.
We sat out for a bit, got in the hot tub a few times, showered and came home. We're ready to go for another week.
DH's back getting better. Hope he gets healed up enough to play golf soon. If the weather is kind to us, we will make another trip to Quartzsite to attend the big Tent RV Show.
