Our Location today is Dome Rock BLM,
Quartzsite, Arizona, U.S.A.
Our bodies must be slowly
recovering from our unexpected travel day on Monday as we both were getting out
of bed shortly after 7:00 MST this
morning. The one thing that our bodies haven’t adjusted to though are these
cooler temperatures that we’ve been waking up to. This morning our temperature in
Quartzsite
was 43 F (6 C) and when I looked at The Weather Network
it was showing the temperature back in McGregor at 54 F (12 C). That is
insulting.
Since we will be sticking
around the Quartzsite
for a while longer we’ll be moving from Dome Rock BLM to
La Posa
South LTVA we wanted to get some cleaning done today. While Kathy worked
at doing our Online Banking and she needed
to print up some statements. Even though I was working at changing the Bedding it was easy enough to set up
the printer.
Around 11:30 Kathy started
making an early lunch. Trying to keep it Light
and Healthy but enough to see us
through the busy afternoon, she came up with Tomato/Bacon/Cheese Soup with Bacon/Provolone Cheese
on Toasted Bagels and Yogurt with Blackberries topped with a dollop of Cool Whip. Not only did it look good but it tasted great.

While Kathy washed the
dishes, I was busy sorting our laundry and getting it loaded in the truck. Shortly
after 1:00 we were heading into town for the Laundromat. When we got to the Four Way Stop for some reason I didn’t
turn towards Main
Street. Instead I headed up Tyson Wells Road but
it gave us the chance to see some water still in some of the washes as well as
what few Vendors are still trying to
sell their products.
When we arrived at the Main Street
Laundromat this was the first
time we had no problems getting as many machines as we needed and since we were
doing extra washing today that was important. After the last couple of times
Kathy came in to help out but got to relax until things needed folding. While
waiting to help she was talking to a gentleman who served in WWII, was 95 Years Young and was still traveling around in his RV.
I managed to break one of
the Tail-Lights on the Bicycle Carrier yesterday so we were
checking all the Truck Stops and RV Parts Suppliers
but nobody has that particular light. After a while we were both
starting to feel hungry so when Kathy said she had a craving for Pizza. I wasn’t about to argue with
that and there is only one place to get good pizza in Quartzsite and that is at Silly Al’s.
Kathy doesn’t get those cravings very often.
We arrived just before 4:00
and had no problem finding a parking spot. Walking inside it wasn’t hard to get
a table not like previous times. When our waitress came we immediately ordered
so we had our food and drinks in less then fifteen minutes. That was when the
place started to fill up and by the time we left there wasn’t an empty seat in
the house except the one’s we had just left and even the parking lot had filled
up.
We stopped at one last
place to check for the Tail-Light on
the way Home.
It was RV
Outfitters and even though they
didn’t have the light they did have something else we needed information on.
Presently we heat our trailer with the Inefficient
Furnace or our Big Buddy Heater.
Even though the second works it could do better. Many of our RV friends from Ontario have switched over to
using a Blue Flame Heater. Albert
was very knowledgeable about all the units that were still available and could
list the Advantages and Disadvantages to each one. Kathy had
heard about them and what everyone had told her but never seen one in person.
Now that we have that information we will have to see where we would put it and
which Model to get. According to
Albert RV
Outfitters has sold over Eight-Hundred Blue Flame
Heaters this winter alone.
Back Home after getting the laundry
put away we sat outside enjoying the last few moments of a beautiful sunny day.
The fact that it was 63 F (17 C) also made it comfortable enough
to sit without a coat for a while. When we were here two weeks ago, we were
about five hundred feet further south beyond a wash with plenty of desert shrubbery
and we could not hear the road noise off I-10. Because we pulled into our present site
after dark while it was raining we only knew that it was a good spot to stop
for the night. Sitting out this evening we were surprise how we could hear the distant
road noise off the Interstate.
Tomorrow we’ll be taking
out time to move over to La Posa South LTVA
before we start our next adventure. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

I don't understand how I got to be over the hill
I never got to the top.
We always love to be at South La Posa. It kind of feels like home. Looks like the weather may warm up for us soon.
ReplyDeleteWe have found two places we enjoy staying when we are here. We are presently parked at one, Plomosa Road and the other is La Posa South.
ReplyDeleteRV Outfitters must be a new place in town, enjoy your time there.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be pleased to know it's much colder up here today. Enjoy your warmth.
