We dumped and got fresh water at a really nice city park in Blythe and then unto Quartzsite. More scenes:
We are camped in the Hi-Jolly area – free for 14 days. (I just love this free camping!). Once we set up, we took a look around the other BLM lands and town – wow; it has really emptied out compared to a few weeks ago.We had supper at the Yacht Club and just relaxed the rest of the evening. The stats for today:
Miles Traveled: 125 miles
Routes Traveled:
CA: SR-111; SR-78; I-10
AZ: I-10; SR-95
On Wednesday (18th), we checked a couple places for awnings – our awning ripped in the wind while we were at the slabs. But to no avail. We have another place we will check tomorrow.
We also made the usual bead shop stops for some supplies I needed. Since it is the end of the season, prices are a lot lower but they are also out of a number of items. We also found a sunshade for our awning – only $15.00 (it was $80.00 a few weeks ago). Many of the places have shut down or are starting to and are slashing prices – something for us to remember next year.
We spent the afternoon just hanging out and then built ourselves a campfire – how wonderful to have baked potatoes and steak over the fire. This is the first time in quite a while that Andy and I have been on our own.
This has been such a different trip for us. We have met many people that we are sure we will see again next season and some we continue to stay in contact with by email. How nice!
Some scenes from our site:
I will leave you with one more interesting picture – another use for a snow plow (yes, they are plowing sand!):
Until tomorrow!
