So
glad we are in the southwest. At home, Indiana
Quartzsite
sign.
Why the camel? In 1856 there was a camel corps here. An experiment for
their use in the desert. But the experiment didn’t work and the camels were set
free to fend for themselves in the area. They eventually all disappeared.
This
time of year there isn’t too much going on in Quartzsite. Only a few RVs here
and very few vendors. Come January and February there will be in the hundreds
of thousands of people here. This gas
station and motel have seen better times. Was called The Camel Stop.
One
of the warehouse type stores. Just about everything and anything for sale.
Now
this is my kind of store.
The
wooden Indian out front.
Lots
of beads and semi precious gem stones for sale. But I don’t need anything. Just
interesting to look around. Another
store we had to go in.
Bill
checking out the merchandise. You really have to look to find the hidden
treasures.
I
like this sign – but the store was closed.
This
morning we went out to breakfast with a friend from the women’s RV forum that I
belong too. She spends the winter boondocking [camping without hookups] in the
desert in her fifth wheel.
Tomorrow
morning we’ll leave here and head further south to Amado – a small town about
25 miles north of the border. We stay there every year when coming and going through Nogales.
Probably next week sometime we’ll cross into
