Slowly, the northward trek has started. We spent most of the week near Quartzsite, AZ. For those that don't know, Quartzsite, AZ is a boondockers heaven. There are acres and acres and acres of free dry camping, plus vendors by the dozens in town. This time of year, however, business is rather slow so most have packed up and carried on to somewhere else. Here are a couple of views from our motorhome.
We took a drive out to Crystal Hill in search of some crystals. We chose one of the warmest days so needless to say we didn't spend much time looking for crystals.
We were a bit surprised to see that there were several small campers out there since it is 20+ km from town over a road that is not particularly maintained.

There finally has been some rain in the area. It has been 209 days since this area has last seen any rain. It is amazing how quickly it gathers and then how quickly it is gone and it looks as if there never was any rain at all.
A couple of days ago we carried on to Lake Havasu City. There is an area just south of town that we particularly like - close to town, quiet, but it does have one little drawback - the internet service is not the greatest. I don't recall it being this slow in past years but perhaps the memory is failing a bit??
Since this is dry camping, most folks are powered by solar but many also have a generator which is mainly use with consecutive days of cloud. There is a fellow out here that seems to be running his generator non-stop. He did take great care to put it in a box which is nicely insulated to minimize the noise. But, he was only concerned with minimizing it for himself - too bad. Glad I'm not his neighbour.
As I close the week off, I hope everyone has a great week ahead.
