Fun in the Sun with Ray's Strays

We have been so busy having fun I haven't had time to post much.... but let me see if I can do this as briefly as I can and still tell you everything. First of all, here we are parked in the desert.

Here are members of our group....

This is Mike and Sherri and their new puppy Jackson. Jackson is pure pup and Sydney will have nothing to do with him.... too much energy for the old boy.

This is Ray and Millie, originally from Massachusetts but full timers now.

And these are the newbies for this year Rick and Joann. This is their first time in Quartzsite.
We had another couple that we had met in Orlando, Shari and Joe join us for a few days but they ended up buying a new RV and leaving for California before I got their photo.

Some of the activities we've done so far are....
 Harassing the dealers... where we look at all the RV's for sale. We found a modified bus for our friends Wendy and John. The sign says the owners will trade for a house... now that's a deal. The bus, when new, was probably worth 3/4 to a million dollars.

We visited all the Flea Markets, Swap Meets and the Gem and Mineral Shows. There are at least 10 different areas filled with vendors.

The RV show started Saturday and we have been in the big tent twice and plan on returning this coming Saturday (the day before it ends) to check out price reductions. There is everything and anything you may want for your RV.

We went to Silly Al's for pizza.... a tradition for us.

And of course..... 4 wheeling. Here we are off roading enjoying the desert.

Here is John taking this picture... he climbed up on some rocks and got a pant leg full of cactus needles for his trouble.

Some of the desert road we drove....  you can't see the dipsy doodles but believe me they are there

Stop for a potty break.

You can't help but want to go and enjoy the day when it starts like this every day!

I forgot to explain..... all over the area, groups gather annually. They erect signs and symbols to let other members know where they are. We decided this year that we needed a "Title" for our little rag tag group........ Ray's Strays is winning so far. Any other ideas?
