FRIDAYS JEEP TRIP

For entertainment today we took the Jeep back up into the hills south of our camping area. Here are a handful of pictures.  To our surprise and pleasure we only encountered one other vehicle on the whole trip.  Our bones thanked us when the trip was over.  They got a lot of knocking around on the rough roads and washes.  Reminded us of sailing in lumpy water.  You can never relax.

These guys look soft and furry - from a distance.

Telephoto from same spot above.  Now you can see RVs in the distance.

Quartzsite, Arizona

We are the coach at the far left.  Last one to arrive yesterday evening.

 We are in Quartzsite, Arizona for one of the largest RV and Gem shows in the country.  The area is primarily land that belongs to the federal Bureau of Land Management, otherwise known as BLM.  There are already thousands of RVs spread out here in the desert on BLM land and by the end of the week there will be thousands more.  The group we are with are pictured above and this is less then half the coaches expected so our group will number about 40 coaches, mostly Tiffin motor homes.  The RV show does not start until tomorrow so today is pretty laid back just getting to know some of our new neighbors.  We are "camping" in that we have no electrical or water here.  We are just "roughing it" on our built in tanks and our generator.

Jeeps are popular tow vehicles.  Lots of roads to ride on here.

Lost of space here too.
