OK, weird title we know but warranted, a little. We were told by a few people what a great stay Quartzsite is ESPECIALLY when the famous RV show is on!! The town has under 3,000 people living there, but apparently during this one week a year 750 – 1 million people show up. SO WHY WOULDN’T ONE CHECK IT OUT!?
Now what we will say is that this area is famous for boon dockers. If you recall from much earlier posts, boon docking is when you are off the grid, not hooked up to anything and just running off your own generator and own water supply. In this area anyone can park their RV/Camper anywhere they want for up to 2 weeks at no charge. So why wouldn’t you pop on over and try this out? We decided to stay at a RV place WAY too expensive for the place, but of course it was during the “show” and everything was inflated.
So how was the show??? We both agreed that it was a real let down. We have been to better shows in Toronto frankly. What we did find fascinating, was the amount of RVers and all the boon docking for miles around this town. It really is a lifestyle. I wonder if they filmed Nomad here with Francis McDermott? They sure could/should have.
What did we buy? Well some dips, of which we have already made one. Some chocolate, because that is what one buys at a RV show. Some Christmas gifts, which won’t be mentioned of what they are as our families read this, and of course lunch consisting of a gourmet grill cheese sandwich.
OK, getting the heck out of dodge on this stop and we are off to the Fountain of Youth Spa and RV resort. California here we come!!!!
