Fountain of Youth

We left Quartzsite Saturday morning.  Going a little slow as first time Gary had been outside and he definitely was in slow mo mode.  It took 3 1/2  hours to make the trip.
Jim and Linda met us at the front and we hopped in their pickup to come up and look for a site.  The dry camping area is at the top of the hill.  We are on a corner lot overlooking the valley and the sea with the mountains as our backdrop.  The actual site is gravel and we have a pile of same just off our patio.  We just need some green grass carpet to cover it up.  Have the hummingbird feeder up and have one little guy who has also been in the motor home.  I don’t get these birds here.
 



We didn’t unload anything as Gary was done in.  Sunday I went to church which is very close.  Just walk down the hill.  We got the quads off and I got the carpets and chairs out while Jim and Gary worked on the Hughes Satellite and the Direct TV.Both of those job went very smoothly which was nice.
Monday Linda and I headed for Palm Springs to do a little SHOPPING.  That area is just beautiful.  Palm trees, grass, and the mountains framing it all.  Did a Costco run and other stores that I haven’t seen for 6 weeks.  Had lunch in a regular restaurant also.

Tuesday they bring in local produce which was fun.  Also a little store and cafe here.  Bible study after that and finishing up our spot.
Wednesday we took Jim and Linda to Palm Springs as they flew home on business.  Did a little shopping and finding our way around.  It is a good hour from the camp.  Gary went to Brawley Monday  which is South about a half hour .  They have a super Wal-Mart with other grocery so will probably go that way as is closer.
Pretty quiet day today – met several people from Oregon.  One couple from Junction City with quads.  We may ride with them tomorrow depending on how Gary feels.  Still not up to par and running low grade temps in the evenings.  He can’t do much without fatigue so we really have been laying low.  They have every activity you can think of here. No reason to be bored that’s for sure.
The showers are very nice and a real treat for us to stand in nice hot water for a lengthy time.  Haven’t tried the hot tubs yet – I guess they vary in temp.  The water of course comes out of the ground steaming.
Having a wonderful time – can’t believe it is almost Christmas.  The church has a nice potluck and Christmas eve service so will enjoy that.
