Location: BLM in Quartzsite, Arizona
Another night of jets taking off or was that many, many trains going by with no whistles. I guess I didn't get far enough away from I-10 in my last move. Those trucks sure make noise passing through the valley.
Looks to be another beautiful and warm day. It was early when I got up and I caught the sun just as it peeked over the mountains east of Quartzsite.
Wasn't in any hurry to hunt for a new site, so slowly had breakfast and took a few walks with Yuma. It was around noon when Yuma and I jumped in the Jeep and started searching further south of the interstate but still on the west side of town.
Found a place in towards town but on the other side of the mountains. You can see Dome Rock behind me now.
Laid out and relaxed for awhile and before I knew it I needed to get ready for Happy Hour at 3 o'clock at Bill and Patsy's place. This time I had my phone and Deb sent great instructions on how to get there.
Made it with time to spare. Had a great time meeting and getting to everyone better. Around 6 o'clock it started cooling down and everyone headed off to prepare supper.

Yesterday, Jeff one of my many readers suggested I add a search button to the blog, so I did. You can find it at the top of the smaller right column. Thanks Jeff.
I'm sitting in the Jeep near the interstate doing my post because I don't get any reception at my site. Another move tomorrow is in the forecast.
See you later.
Beautiful sunrise and sunset. That Higgins looks like a character. Cute dog. Good luck finding a place with better reception!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolly. Higgins was a little pushy with Yuma. Would snip if Yuma got too close.
DeleteThe 'Search' is working great! As you are in and out of our back yard I wanted to know your past excursions. Happy Hour with friends is always a good time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff. I'm glad you suggested it. Wish California was a little more inviting but I do love the Borrego Springs area. Im sure if I did a little research there are lots more places to visit.
DeleteInternet there isn't very good no matter where you park. There are just too many people. I used to work on my blog around 5:00 am in order to get reception. Beautiful sunset!!
ReplyDeleteThat'll never happen Nancy. You're right about the crowds. Every year is bigger. Yuma and I made it through the whole length of the big tent and only bought one coffee mug. Good for me.
DeleteHope you find a spot you can stay a while in! Looks like the weather is warm and beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. Very crowded desert around here. Weather is just gorgeous. 74-44 temperature and always sunny. Can't beat that.
DeleteGoodness.! You are having a hard time finding a good campsite with so many things to consider. People, wifi, Gold Rush, truck noise, gunshots, view, Yuma, and staying close to the "White Lion" while trying to make a decision. Wishing you a stress-free day & Good Luck in all your adventures. Just listen to Yuma as he usually knows what's Best. 🍀😎🍀
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Finding the right site is a definite hit or miss situation. What will I do wandering around in 40 footer wit 20 feet of tow vehicle. I'll need a football field to turn around. Trying to keep stress down but hard with all that is going on.
DeleteSure know what you mean by the Q being so crowded this time of year at Quartzfest. Think we went 4 or 5 years in a row and then that was it. No more.
ReplyDeleteI finally made my visit to the Big Tent. One walkthrough and Yuma and I were were done for this year. It is a madhouse for sure.
