Parked next to Dan and Teri at Quartzsite
Jan 18th – we arrived at Quartzsite and needed fuel so we went to the Love’s at the first Quartzsite (we’ll call it Q from now on) exit and our first sample of the crowded conditions. The gas station was jammed with all types of vehicles. Once we filled up we traveled along the frontage road to route 95 South. It was very slow with lots of people shopping in a village that had popped up since our previous visits during the summer.
We made it to 95S and went south to mile marker 99 where Dan and Teri – GMC friends we visited in Dexter, MO last summer – are parked. It is a maze of unmarked paths through the desert but we found our way to them pretty quickly – thanks to Dan’s directions on the cell phone. The area was beautiful and clean – it is all a very course gravel or rocks that keep the dust down. We parked next to them and decided to just spend a little time relaxing and enjoying the view – we can go to town tomorrow. Dan has internet access via his unlimited data plan with Verizon – not available any more – and he shared it with us. All the conveniences of home.
