\"Quartzsite<\/a><\/p>\n

Woke up just before dawn and caught a picture of sunrise on the desert.\u00a0 Not to spectacular\u2026maybe tomorrow.\u00a0 \u00a0We plan to drive into town, and I say \u201ctown\u201d loosely, get gas, see if Flying J has nice trucker showers and get out before the crowds move in.\u00a0 This town usually has several thousand people but it explodes into several hundred thousand during the winter, particularly now, and the desert is covered with RV\u2019s boondocking for weeks at a time.\u00a0 We fit right in with our group, now grown to 18.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a><\/p>\n

John and I went into town to look for a part and found ourselves walking around a tent city.\u00a0 So many tents lining the highways and selling everything imaginable.\u00a0 We bought some dried apple slices and ate some yummy fish taco\u2019s for lunch from a carnival type stand.\u00a0 John wanted to fly a kite in the wide open spaces and we let the dogs run leash free for a while.\u00a0 Bed time after visiting with some of the new people in the group.\u00a0 Tomorrow we should add the last few stragglers to our group.<\/p>\n

Over the last few days, John has had the opportunity to be a good citizen three times.\u00a0 First was the cell phone we found on the side of the road when we were checking out the pump connections on the RV.\u00a0 We mailed it back to her today.\u00a0 Second was a wallet found in a shopping basket next to our car when we were leaving Wal-Mart.\u00a0 John brought it inside to the Service Center.\u00a0 Third was a metal table leg that we found at the junk store and John wanted to use it to build a part for the RV.\u00a0 When he brought it up to pay for it, the guy said \u201cwhere did you find that?\u00a0 It\u2019s my table leg and I\u2019ve been looking everywhere for it.\u201d\u00a0 That was the third thing.\u00a0 The guy told John he needed to go to Las Vegas\u2026and that\u2019s exactly where we are going after leaving Quartzsite.\u00a0\u00a0 John\u2019s built up quite a bit of good Karma!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
