Well our first full day here in quartzsite we got our selves all settled into our camp site nicely settled between two other RV's amoung the Escapees.
This first full day here allowed us to get to the BIG tent. The interesting thing about quartzsite is that it is , for our Sacramento friends, like a Denio's farmers market on steroids! Vendors and swapmeeters, as far s the eye can see! The big tent is only part of what there is to see here. The big tent however is filled with probably 200 vendors selling LED lights, flag poles, solar panels and even teeth whitening and facials! Our big focus was to find LED to replace many of our incandescent bulbs in the motorhome. We found some great prices at a couple of vendors, so we stocked up!
We got some bad news though when we got back to camp. We were told that the dogs barked A LOT while we were out checking out the big tent. So, we had to pack up camp and move to a new location.
That's Ok, 'cause the new location brought with better views of the surrounding areas, including those of Sagoro cactus which is one of those things Carol has always wanted to see!
This part of the country is so beautiful in its own way! Its easy to see why snow birds come down here in the winter time. The sun rises and sun sets are amazing. :-)
On Tuesday, we are going to solar seminar put on by one of the escapees here at camp. Then, well go back into town and check out some more vendors. We also have to return one of the bulbs that was bad out of the box!
More postings soon!
Happy camping!
Eric and carol!
