ARRIVED AT QUARTZSITE

We made it to Boomerville at Quartzsite, Arizona, this afternoon. We left Indio, Ca, and after stopping for groceries, ice, fuel, and water, we arrived in Quartzsite about coffee time this afternoon. We parked in the same location where we did last year and found that our earth oven is still standing. When we left last January, we covered the oven with brush and wondered what would be here when we returned. What a pleasant surprize to find it pretty much in tact. Tomorrow we'll gather some materials to build another layer over the existing one and hopefully by Friday we will be ready to make some pizzas. When we rolled in this afternoon, there were 10 other rigs here already. I took this picture from the top of our motor home when I went up to tilt my solar panels into the sun. Just before dinner, we gathered together with the other couples and had an informal intoduction session. Tomorrow other rigs will begin to arrive and by the weekend there will be more than 100 RVs at our location in the desert. I'll keep updating the pictures so you can get an idea of how the area fills.
