We're at the "Q"

We left Lake Medina on January 3rd after bringing in the New Year dancing to a country western band. John has decided that if we want to dance in Texas we had better learn the "Texas Two-step" because that was about all they played...... oh, I forgot the "Cotton-eyed Joe" and the "Boot Scootin Bogey"... none of which we knew. But we had fun anyway.
We stayed at Camp Walmart through Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. We were joined each night by at least a dozen other RVer's. Most of us couldn't enjoy this life style if Walmart didn't allow a quick overnight stop in their parking lot. We actually passed snow on the side of the road when going through New Mexico.
We arrived in Quartzsite ..... the big "Q".... on Saturday. We stopped at a campground nearby for 1 night to dump our gray and black tanks, charge the batteries and fill the water tank. We will be "dry camping" for several weeks... maybe more than a month. For you non-RVer's, that means we will have no electricity, water of sewer connections. We must rely on what we carry on board the coach.
Here is a picture announcing you've arrived....

We drove to the area we parked last year to stake out a spot for our small group. It was difficult to find the exact spot, but where we thought we should park was already occupied. I walked around looking while John struck up a conversation with some others and they invited us to share the area. They are moving Tuesday and the rest of our group wasn't due until Tuesday so we would have company until the others made their appearance. Meet Debbie and Jessie Lee.... full time RVer's lastly for Reading California.

John and Jessie talked about RV stuff like Solar panels and pulling weight and Debbie and I talked about her American Indian heritage and enjoyed the scenery. Here is an Arizona sunrise over the desert....

and here are 2 Arizona sunsets....

It is just beautiful country. Well, as it turned out everybody arrived early... Monday morning. Here we are sitting around the fire in the evening Monday night. I think Ray and Millie brought some of that cool weather with them from Florida.

From left to right, sitting.... John (with his long hair), Debbie, Jessie, Ray (standing), Preston (sitting), Mike (standing), Sherry and Millie.

Today we took our first off-road Jeep ride through the desert. Here we are stopped to check out this abandoned house... know to us as the pony express house.

This is just the first of our Arizona adventures.....  especially with this crew. I'll keep ya posted.
