More Campers Than I Ever Have Seen!!

Yes, I know, been a long absence but I finally thought of a couple things to write about! I will tell you the really neat story about the camels & Quartzsite, but first the camper review!! 

Since we got here already the population has just about doubled and we have only been here since Oct. 3rd. We have learned since that the normal population of this town is less than 2,000 and around Jan/Feb, it grows to hundreds of thousands!! There is gonna be concerts, parades, hot air balloon festival, Rock Fiesta (still not sure what that is), ATV races and goodness knows what all! More and more vendors selling their wares open up every day...not counting all the RV dealers here...geez loueez and it hasn't even really kicked off yet!

We are at LaPosa south on BLM land which has over 600 acres, about 2 miles south of town and every day more and more campers pull in. There are small, older campers. There are old and new fancy 5th wheels. There are tent campers. There are ones with pop-ups. There are the old and new van types. There are the class C's. There are semi-trucks pulling their campers. There are fancy shmancy class A's and older class A's. There are ones the size of friggin buses. Alot have solar panels on their roofs. Many build on rooms with metal frames and tarps to extend their already huge camping area. Some build free standing buildings with the metal frames and tarps. Camping trailers of all shapes and sizes, it is fun just to see what might come in here next. There are many ATV's, motorcycles, bicycles. Apparently with paying $180 for 7 months, you can have as much room as your heart's content, only rule is you have to be at least 15 ft. from your neighbor and quiet time from 10-7 nightly. Many are parked in a community circle type, people meet every year down here. Alot of led lights, blowup Santa on a motorcycle and holiday lights too!! 

The cold snap is hopefully over with. The 20's in the morning when u get up with no friggin heat all night is a very fast wake-up call. So now with the lows only in the 40's should be a walk in the park lolol! When it warms back up, hubby will be back out there huntin for that elusive yellow rock!!

Next up....the story of Hi Jolly and the camels of Quartzsite....a story that is just too kewl!!
