No frost this morning on the car. We headed south to Quartzsite today. Another vanishing point road south along the border in California. Nice scenery along the way. The third photo down says Welcome to Earp, California on the side of the Oasis Minimart- the only building in Earp, California and then we entered Arizona.

In Parker, Az the sign says Winter Weather Conditions, drive with care. It was sunny warm and there were palm trees. My kind of winter weather.  The RV show in Quartzsite is supposed to be the largest gathering of RV’s in the world. We have stayed away from this only coming here in the later spring when there are almost no people. It is not as bad as we thought in the free BLM dispersed camping.

The bus in the free BLM dispersed camping. We are in the Sonoran desert so there are saguaros here.  We asre thining it might get more crowded over the weekend.

John got me this great tablet for xmas. It is in a child proof  case with a bullet proof screen protector. Maybe I won’t break it. I don’t even have a smart phone so I am challanged learning android.  I finished the basket.  It is 11.5 x 11.5 x 2.5. There is a piece of fused glass in the center that I made with green leaf and blue/green iridescent glass beads. It sold before it was half done!

Today we went to the 34th annual Quartzsite Sports, Vacation and RVshow. There is a 69,000 square feet tent  exhibit area. And more outside, plus lots of new and used RV’s for sale.  It was packed and  was not as good as the FMCA rallies we go to. We looked at 5th wheels, trailers and class A RV’s (that is what we have).

The inside of a couple of the class A’s. Way, way too fancy for us. Disco lights, 4 TV’s. In the left photo top is a huge flat screen TV with a fireplace under it. There is also a dishwasher  and residencial fridge- all these  buses can only be used if it is plugged in, not out in the desert. The last shot is the side of one of the buses out here in the desert- 7 day weekends at Laaast!

John favorite part of the Quartzsite shopping is the Adult Day care spot. . . I rode my bike around the desert tonight around sunset, which here is around 6 pm- an hour later than California. We are loving that.
