Hanging out at Quartzsite, AZ at the Big RV Show

We arrived in Quartzsite AZ on Friday January 15th. We stayed at Casa Del Sol for 4 days, to get acquainted with the town and get the camper charged up and ready to dry camp in the desert with our RVW friends. We went site seeing and stopped at Reader’s Oasis Books and met the owner, who gave us a small concert on the piano. He can be found at the bookstore everyday, and wears nothing but a thong most days. On the days he has more then that on, it is just a jacket. He has over 80,000 books and knows them all. Airaday found a job at Sweet Darlene’s Restaurant, cooking eggs 5am-2pm.
On the 19th we headed out to the desert, at Road Runner Mile Marker 99 BLM long term land. We met all kinds of really nice women, who are members of RVW. The weather was rainy and on Thursday night the 21st a storm came through with 70mph winds. We survived the storm, but a few of the other campers had small problems. Airaday and I used the opportunity to help people out and make some more friends. It turned into a nice bonding experience, but a few pulled out early because the storm was too much for them. On Friday night we went out with some of the girls to a fish fry. There was no seating left inside the building, so we were sat in a make shift tent that had live music. I think we got the better deal; we had entertainment while we ate.
