We
are out of Quartzsite.
The
Big Tent Show was a bust as far as I am concerned. Very few things to
do with RV's but lots of Pain Relief booths, pillow booths that no
one should be without, yeah, and LED booths. How about a set of pots
and pans that would require a 45 foot motor home with trailer to haul
them all. I doubt if 1 in 5 women RV'ers even care to cook.
Doing the shuffle in the big tent.
One more sunset on Plamosa Road.
Lots
of rocks as usual and rusty junk. We saw lots of that. That and high
prices to boot. Still, there were lots of people. I overheard someone
say that it was the biggest attendance since 2007. Who knows!
Clyda,
Budd and Brenda arrived about 6 pm on Tuesday after a long drive from
Bakersfield.
On
Wednesday morning we went into the big tent and ambled along. About
the only thing we collected were pamphlets and some maps.
About
lunch time we connected with friends Tony and Joanne and decided
lunch at Beer Belly's, the Adult Daycare Center, was perfect. We
snagged two tables and all ordered hamburgers for lunch. Perfect
place to sit and talk. After a couple of hours, Tony and Joanne went
one way and us another. We hope to camp with them this summer.
Beer
Belly's is an outdoor bar with music and food at the entrance to the
Big Tent. It really collects a crowd.
On
Thursday we shopped Greasewood Downs. More Rusty junk. I did buy a
book for 50 cents. Big deal!
In
the afternoon we drove to Bouse for cocktails and to visit Jack and
Judy, John and Connie, Bill, and Gary. All are old friends who winter
south of Bouse. Really nice to see everyone again.
This
morning we left Plamosa Road about 8:20 and arrived at the Elks club
in Wilcox, AZ at 4:10 PM. About 360 miles with mostly good road. The temperature is 51
degrees but expected to get to 18 degrees overnight. Chilly!
We
ate dinner at the Elks Club. Good food and friendly people.
