Quartzsite purchases-so far, Jan. 17-20

Bob made the first and most expensive purchase at the RV show in Quartzsite. He had been wanting a surge protector and now the coach has one. They even installed it for us, yea!!

Good thing the install was a fixed price as Bob was helping?? You know what they say about helping costing more.

Right now we have 12 rigs in our large circle. Several more are coming in a day or so. Every evening at 5 pm someone lights the campfire and the snacks come out and the party begins!!

This morning it was 'take a photo' of you in front of your rig.

Here is a photo of my new rug, I love kokopellis.

This is a cool decal, it is one foot tall and is mounted on our front door. Another kokopelli.

A few of us saw a huge shooting star last night, before we were blessed with this site.

Mudflap Issue, Jan 13-15, 2009

We left Imperial Dam LTVA with no problems, no one was at the dump or water filling area so was very easy to take care of that task. We are heading to Quartzsite and their dump and water area is always full thus a long wait.
.
Now, you are wondering about this photo of our mudflap, notice it looks a little crooked, well it is or was. Upon arrival at Q we unhitched the Explorer and then Bob chose to take the lead back to the area where we are meeting with the RV America group. He took the wrong turn even though he said he knew where he was going. This wrong road took him through this, deeper than he thought, dry wash and it bent our new mudflap. So, here is Bob unbending the parts of the mudflap.

Here it is all washed and reinstalled looking almost like new again. It now just has a few more slight creases and scrapes--just call them battle scars.

It probably doesn't look like it now, but this is the beginning of our 17 rig circle. This is Thursday and we have 6 rigs here. The big RV show starts on Sat. so we are expecting our circle to grow son.

These Boots Are Made for Walking, Jan.12, 2009

For today's walk, we were prepared--hiking boots and hiking staffs!

we walked about 1/3 of a mile to where the trail heads down into the arroyo, it was an easy down trail.

At the bottom, we explored both of the channels that split off. The first one came to an abrupt halt when it fell about 10 feet with no way to climb down. So we went to the other side and followed it for awhile.

Here is where that channel came to a halt--we were not ducks. I know where I would have been if I had tried to walk on the little side ledge--wet!!Near the end, Bob climbed UP, but he is a cousin to the mountain goat and my nickname is "goatless", so I back tracked, above are a couple of the photos the (old) goat took.

You can see how narrow the channel was, Bob is reaching across with his hiking staff.

Yes, I still managed to get some rocks in one of my boots.
