RVers in Quartzsite
Rvers in Quartzsite is what it's all about, and September is when the locals start to plan for the new show season. The summer heat is starting to cool, the kids are back in school and everyone starts to think about the new year. In Quartzsite, the year doesn't start on Jan 1. In Quartzsite it starts when the season starts. Our year is labeled The 2008-2009 season. I just love it here when Season starts. This sleepy little town starts to hop. The snowbirds come back, the visitors start to arrive and the tents start to go up. During the summer Quartzsite looks like an abandoned outdoor movie theater. Nothing but miles and miles of little posts in the ground. During Season every post has an RV hooked to it. The desert comes alive also. Miles and miles of RVs hooked to nothing. Solar panels and generators; the world of the dry camper. Did I mention that Paul and I dry-camped out side of Quartzsite? Yep, Right out on La Posa South. We did that every year for 12 years. I still miss it out there, but town is nice too.

Nice effort Qgrannie. Quartzsite needs a blog.
We love Quartzsite, too, and have spent a few summers there, as well as winters. We love the desert and have discovered that many folks get hooked on the wide open spaces that the desert offers, so much that they very quickly find themselves ignoring the triple digit heat. Actually, as long as one doesn't have to work out of doors in the heat, but can stay inside where it's cool for most of the day, the heat is not a problem.
Our concern about Quartzsite is the make up of the town government. The ruler of the town, the town manager, seems to be anti-growth for some reason. Maybe that's best overall, except that it seems to be hurting the season by stiffling the seasonal businesses that used to thrive there. Let's hope eventually there will be a "house cleaning".
Qgrannie, I lived at Desert Gold RV Park for 5 years, tried to buy a park model in Desert Gardens, but some one else beat me to it. I was womdering if there are any park models availible in desert gardens park. I am now in Ohio, but am considering moving back to tha Quartzsite area. Thanks, Chuck Monticue.
