Yesterday we went on a very informative nature walk with the rangers. Learned a lot about plants and animals on the desert, plus a little geology.
Sunset our last night at Lake Havasu. On the way south to Quartzite we went by where the Bill Williams river runs into Lake Havasu. Lovely marshy area. Kind of a dreary cloudy day.
Quartzite is on of the largest gathering places for RV’s in the USA. They say over 100,000 RVs are here. It only costs $175 to just park out on the desert from Sept- April. We are in a two week free area. Little north of the crowds. It is just wide open desert, pick a spot and park. The ground is what is called desert pavement, which is flat solid gravel. With lots of desert vegetation scattered about and beautiful mountains surrounding. In actual Quartzite is supposed to be the biggest market ever, everything imaginable and very cheap. We will check it out later. They have a huge RV rally here in late January and many on going rock and gem shows. This area is a rock hound paradise I guess. We like the wide open spaces and of course that it is free.
The clouds this evening were beautiful while we were wondering around. A saguaro cactus in front of the mountains.
The bus around sunset. Sunset over the pavement, saguaros and mountains.
Closer up of the sunset. Some flowers that are blooming now.
