Quartzsite Day 7--2018

Quartzsite, Arizona
BLM

We were up early today and surprised that it wasn't cold.  Bill and I were ready to leave at 8 am.  George thought it would be good to get to the Big Tent early.  He found a parking space without any trouble.  We saw some people sitting in their vehicles eating their breakfast.  


There was a line waiting for the doors to open, but it moved very quickly when the doors opened.





We saw quite a few people we knew from the Montana Owners Club.  Here's a photo of George, Linda, Me and Susie Orr.  We never did see Denny.





Bill bought a slim wallet here many years ago and it was showing some wear.  We've looked everywhere for one.  Today we found the company again.  Here I am showing Susie.



See how the cards fit in the wallet.  There are 20 cards in the wallet and it is very thin when folded over.  They now come with the RFID.




George wanted suggestions for lunch and we were trying to think of a place out of the traffic.  We chose Quail Cafe.  When we walked in there were about 5 or 6 parties ahead of us but the wait wasn't very long.  We talked with a couple who just ordered a new Montana.  I suggested they stop by for Happy Hour.


Paul and Mel of ARP refrigerator controllers were scheduled to come by tomorrow to correct our controller.  They finished up early so came by today.  It didn't take them long to change it out.  



Bill and I had been talking about our seat control on our truck not working in one position.  I walked outside and there was George working on it.


It turned cold, yes cold.  It was 59 degrees and the wind was blowing.  No more sitting outside for us even though some people were still out in shorts.  

I turned on our Mr. Buddy propane heater and we enjoyed watching TV until Shade Pro arrived to install George and Linda's new awning.  Now it was too cold for happy hour, but not to cold to watch someone work!



You know it's cold!  George has a cold beer but long pants and a jacket.








And so the day ends.  We'll probably head back to Casa Grande tomorrow.  The crowds are growing everyday and there's nothing we saw at the big tent that we want to go back to get.  We enjoyed great weather, but the temperatures don't look like they will be as warm as we've had while here.

  1. We did the tent first thing too got there at 8:30 read our books until they opened and saw all the usual stuff and nothing much we really needed. Not surprised that we did not run into you guys. We still here for a while yet our heater will keep us comfy too.
    Travel safe back to Casa Grande.

  2. After this long rving, I don't think there would be anything for us at the big tent. Glad you found the wallet.

  3. We are heading to the Montana circle tomorrow (sometime) thought we might see what Paul Everett’s has on his lot in the morning. Dave was up late star gazing so I know we aren’t go to do anything very early😉
