We left Barstow at 8:30 this morning and headed off to Quartzite. We barely got out of the campground, and Jeanette called to tell us we had a very low tire. So we pulled off to check it out and decided it was in desperate need of air. Larry took out his little portable compressor and we began the slow process of bringing the pressure from 50 psi to 80. We had time to do some chatting and walking of the dogs, then were back on the road in about 45 minutes.
We stopped in Needles, CA for fuel and lunch. The rock formations here are really strange. They are like lots of spires coming from the fairly flat desert terrain. I noticed a sign for one of the mountains and it was called Needle Mountain. Now I know where the town of Needles got it’s name.
We made it into Quartzite just before 4 and registered with the Borough of Land Management. They put stickers on our vehicles that allow us to camp anywhere in the desert for up to 14 days. We drove off into the sunset, literally, and circled our RVs in the perfect spot! Within minutes, our camp was looking good! We had the chairs out, fire built, awnings ready (rain was looming), generators on and the Dutch ovens fired up! Dinner tonight was a Dutch Oven meal of cheesy potatoes and ground beef and fresh green beans. It took a while to cook, we had enough potatoes in the pots for 40 people! Everything turned out great and smelled awesome! We must have been hungry, because we just about made it through all of the potatoes! It started to rain just before we sat down to eat, so we all went inside with our dinner. We had Lemon Pie for dessert, that came with a delivery service to each of our rigs J
Tomorrow, we hit the big tent at the RV Show!!!!
Wait, what about all those zucchini!!
