The Quartzsite area

We are spending some time in Quartzsite, Arizona.  The weather is perfect right now.  It gets in the 80's maybe 90's during the day and 50's at night.  We've been out hiking checking out some back country.  There was a nice rain this summer and you can still see some of the growth from a little rain.   Normally this time of year it looks very brown but there is actually some green grass and green leaves on the ocotillo bushes.  I had to take a picture of the vultures.  It looked like part of a migration there were so many vultures in the air. 

Its very quiet in Quartzsite this time of year.  So we enjoy checking out the area.  Once all the snowbirds get down the desert will be full of 4-wheelers and the dust will be swirling in the air. When the "big tent" show happens in January there won't be a bare spot of desert because it will be covered with an RV.  Everyone comes and camps out in the desert (dry camping) -- no hookups for water, sewer and electric.  They live using their generators or solar for electricity and fill up their fresh water tank.  When its time to dump all the waste they have to drive the rig to a dump station.  No thanks we like staying in parks with full hookups.
