Yesterday we visited Quartzsite with some friends. For those who do not know about Quartzsite, this is a small town in the middle of Arizona along interstate 10. This town usually has a population of about 1900, however this time of year it swells to several hundred thousand. Where do they all stay, you might ask? Anywhere they want. The RV parks in town fill up fast and the rest just find a spot in the desert land surrounding Quartzsite and setup camp.
There are literally RVs as far as the eye can see from I-10. Why do they all head for Quartzsite? This time of year Quartzsite hosts probably the biggest flee market and RV show in the US. They also host a gem & mineral show, antique show, and car show. If you can’t find it in Quartzsite, it probably doesn’t exist. This is the second time we visited Quartzsite and it appears the population and vendors are a bit low, most likely due to the economy and price of fuel. Still, we spent the whole day there and didn’t even scratch the surface.
This is a photo of a guy that does wood burning with a magnifying glass. I guess he doesn’t work on cloudy days. It was a great day though.
