Quartzsite Gem Show

As promised an update on Quartzsite. We drove in to check out the "flea Markets" and discovered they were getting ready for a gem show this weekend. Now gems are right up Mary's alley so she was delighted to spend a few hours walking through and checking out all the vendors.

First a shot of the entrance to our BLM camp area.

 Now that's a solar system. It automatically follows the sun across the sky each day to maximize solar gain.

 Campers near us. Remember this is only $3.00/night

 Checking out the "Flea Markets" early this morning. Difficult to find a parking spot and everyone say it's not busy.

 Everything is available somewhere under a tent in Quartzsite.

 Lots of food vendors, lots of variety, all fast food though. OK once in a while we break down and have a burger. Cancel the drink and fries though.

 Every vendor needs a gimmick to get the buyers inside the door.

 A shot across tent city. This area will change each month as new and different shows set up. Mary was delighted to learn that the "Quilting" show opens two days after we return in February. YEA!!!

 Someone asked if I was interested in getting my licence.............. sorry I don't qualify back in Canada.

 Back home and ready for some reading time outside under the sun. Do you want to see what Mary bought at the gem show?

Check in tomorrow, I need to get a picture first.

Have a great day.
