I’m camped near “Geezer City.” I hate the thought that this community of retired people has anything in common with me, even though I will agree that our lifespan is approaching similar numbers. Lets just say that I’m not going to admit it entirely. At the very least, one thing I have going for me is the fact I have strolled farther than most.
It’s still early for the migration of retires to descend upon the desert town of Quartzsite, AZ. I arrived early Monday and had little trouble finding a good spot to camp for the night. Hundreds of acres of desert landscape, dotted with mesquite trees and hardy vegetation, bathed in warmth and sunshine even in winter, abound for the RV Snowbirds. It is a great place to be when the rest of the country shivers from the wrath of snow and cold.
I will explore here for another day and then move down by Yuma, AZ.
Things don’t really start hopping until after Christmas. January is huge.
We like to stay off Plomosa Road, about 6 miles north of town. It’s quiet there. Plomosa Road to Bouse is a nice motorcycle ride.
If you haven’t been there recently, a trip up the Colorado through Parker, Lake Havasu and Bullhead City can be fun. There is quite a bit to see.
We’re looking forward to spending some time with you in Q and Yuma in the next couple months.
I camped at Hi Jolly campsite last night. It’s about three miles north of Q. I found a nice tree for shade to park by. I did drive up to Plomosa to check it out. I may save some sightseeing for later when I join you here.
Best laid plans of mice and men… Sorry about your shoulder. 🙁
