We arrived in Quartzsite the 1st of November and stayed in the desert. It happened to be the week of 90 degree weather, so was pretty warm. We were driving around town and found a lot for rent and called to get info about it. Rent was $125 plus power and water. Seemed a no brainer for us so in we came. It is a small corner lot with 2 nice trees. We did some trimming and raking (instead of mowing) and here we are.
Have settled into a routine. Gary goes to the field to fly most every morning depending on the wind. We have gotten involved at the Alliance church and joined the choir so Wed am is practice. I have a Bible study on Tues and then there are jams every day and night. So you can get involved as much or little as you want.
Dave and Verna Dee Christopher are in a park at Hope which is about 30 miles east of us. We have enjoyed visiting with them and plan to do some riding. We found a utility trailer in Phoenix so we can trailer the RZ without having to pull the big cargo trailer. Have been looking for a Jeep wrangler and found several here, but when we looked into actually purchasing one licensing and getting insurance seemed like too much trouble. So we called home and low and behold, they just happened to have one on the lot. So we went ahead and got it. Gary is going to fly home on the 3rd and drive it back down. There is a lot of exploring we can do with it. The main goal is the ability to put it in the cargo trailer so I don't have to drive separate. Although will have to tow it home behind the pickup..
We licensed the RZ so we can drive it on the streets. It makes it nice when we both have to go somewhere at the same time. No matter where you live in town, it is only a matter of minutes and you are on your way for a ride.
The town is very busy in January and February - huge RV show and gem and mineral. Traffic is awful and lined up for miles with people trying to get in. Luckily we are in walking distance to all that. We have friends coming in for it so have a good place for them to park.
We spent Christmas day with the church family for dinner. Way too much to eat. We certainly miss our family and friends at home. We are leaving tomorrow for the Salton Sea to spend a week. The kids are coming to Palm Springs so will be closer to visit. Looking so forward to seeing them wish that Scott could have come too. So nice to have this lot as we can leave the cargo trailer and other stuff and have it be safe. Hoping the weather will be nice for them. Sunny again but a little cool.
We are very thankful in this beautiful season for all the blessing God have provided.
