Desert Boondocking
Last summer, we learned about an "event" in the desert that brings tens of thousands of RV'ers each year...the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation, and RV Show. Basically, it's a BUNCH of retired RV'ers boondocking and selling stuff. For several months. In the desert. I think I saw only a handful of people our same age, but it was still fun!
We didn't care about the show as much as we did just hanging out with our friends Kevin and Angie. Kev and Ang have been on the road full time for several years and we met them through mutual friends and their website, NuRVers. NuRVers is a group of younger RV'ers who are working full time on the road or taking a sabbatical from their "normal" life. We have connected with them several times around the country and we love hanging out with them. They are the most laid back, sweet couple...and Bella ADORES them.
We enjoyed sharing many meals and campfires and just sharing life in general. It's so much fun to park your house right next to your friend's house. Instant community.
The allure of Quartzsite for us was also the CHEAP camping. It's $40 to camp for 2 weeks on BLM land. After you pay, you just go pick a spot anywhere in the great wide open. They do provide a way to fill up your tanks and dump, but this is hard core boondocking (for those of you who don't know, boondocking is camping without hook ups). Many of the rigs there have a nice solar set up. We got by with just running the generator a couple times a day to charge up our batteries and then being very conservative on running lights/water.
One of the other fun things about Quartzsite is the rallies. Many different groups get together because it's such a large open space. For example, we were able to go over to the Alpine rally and meet a bunch of other Alpine Coach owners. They had over 100 coaches there! Same goes for pretty much any brand of RV's...Wanderlodge, Monoco, Airstreams, Prevosts...they all had rallies too.
We wandered around the flea market on several different occasions and had fun checking out all of the goods people were selling. I was super surprised (and pleased) to find a gourmet veggie burger stand...amidst all the BBQ. :) After that, we took our super healthy selves down to the hot chocolate chip cookie stand. Yum. After we had those cookies the first time, they became a hard sought after commodity. Even though we tried 3 times to catch them open again, they were always closed.
Aunt Edmoe's Chocolate Chip Cookie stand...where did you go!?
Kev found a sweet bike that he liked.
The guys liked looking at spare parts.
Bella baked Angie some muffins.
Kev and Angie cooked us some falafels.
Angie and Bella had fun painting rocks.
Remember our friend Monica from our Portland and Eugene stops? She was back on the road with her kids coming from Texas and she was headed through Quartzsite. So of course, we said "Stay with us!".
They stopped and we had a fun slumber party. We love having friends over...these are memories we will cherish forever.
We followed them to Blythe for a goodbye coffee and sent them on their way...back to Oregon.
Not too long after that, we said goodbye to Kevin and Angie and headed to Phoenix. We were sad to leave them, but we will be reunited in Texas. For now...the road calls!

Thanks for making me to obtain new concepts about computer systems. I also have the belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your mobile computer in excellent condition has been a hard plastic case, and also shell, which fits over the top of the computer. These kinds of protective gear usually are model distinct since they are manufactured to fit perfectly on the natural outer shell. You can buy them directly from the owner, or via third party places if they are for your laptop, however its not all laptop can have a shell on the market. Once again, thanks for your ideas.
My fiance and I are getting ready to purchase our very first bus... We plan on spending the next year getting our conversion all done, getting married and then hitting the road. What an awesome honeymoon! We seriously might not ever come back. I love that there are do many others looking to this lifestyle. It makes me so happy! I would love to chat with you sometime girl!
