Shutting Down

We are still here in Quartzsite, AZ. The town is starting to close down. Most of the RV dealers are gone. It's kind of weird that the RV dealers come in town for 3 months, then they are gone. Most of the RV parks also close for the summer. Ours closes on May first. We are paid up to April 22nd. But we are planning to leave next week. We are heading to Yuma, AZ to get some work done on our rolling home. Then off we go on our 2016 trip, up the west coast.

 

One of the guys in the park found this fossil down in the wash next to the park. It looks like a dead bird to me.

We made another trip out in the desert. This is the Yellow Dog mine we found. It is an active mine for gold.  

 The Reeper out in the La Paz Valley Desert.

You can find some really weird things out in the desert. This is a spot called Deer Run. People bring all kinds of strange things out here. It's kind of funny.

 We went to a really cool bar on the Colorado River. 

It's a floating bar called Fox's.

Peggy got a new dust mask for riding in the Reeper. She can not pick her nose with it on.

 

Here is Fred ready to go for our weekly desert run.

The Ocotillo cactus have these beautiful orange flowers on the ends.

The desert is blooming all over the place. But you have to be careful all these things are trying to poke, jab or stick you with some big pickers! There is one they call the teddy bear cactus or the jumping cactus, it's the most dangerous one of all, if you get one on you it's a bad thing.
