Show Time-almost over







Boy oh boy, this season is going so fast.






Here in Quartzsite, the big RV and Sportsman show is almost over. The town is crazy busy with thousands of RVs here. I walked a couple of miles this morning to the Hi Jolly short term area and it was packed! The other 4 short term areas are pretty full too but they just got busy in the last two weeks. When the RV show ends the Craft show begins shortly but the crowds usually reduce in number. We have had great weather this year with mid to high 70's being the norm. It wasn't like this last year! The cool temps and wind last year made it less enjoyable.


1,500 to 2,000 vendors come to Quartzsite to be a part of these shows. The vendors' goods range from rocks,gems,minerals,fossils, RV related items and everything else imaginable. It is touted as one of the world's largest open air flea markets. And we haven't seen even half of it. Some of it we don't go to if it doesn't interest us (like rocks) but we haven't even seen all the things that DO interest us!


We have been busy visiting friends that we haven't seen for a long time and catching up on all of their lives and running back and forth to Mexico to get all of my dental work done. So, that doesn't leave a lot of time to shop. But , that is ok. We love catching up.


We wandered over to a bus group last week-end where they had 97 buses for their rally and just walked around admiring all the buses. There were a large number of Eagles and Flexibles and some Prevosts and MCIs thrown in. They were having a great time. We got a few pictures of the conversions.


I will blog more soon.
