A beautiful day after Saturday's rains. I biked over to the stone flea-markets to see what was available. Post-show prices were very aggressive. Lynne got a turquoise necklace and I splurged a dollar on a one pound piece of petrified wood from Brazil.
We helped ourselves to the free grapefruit at the park office - surprisingly tasty. Also some interesting pictures.

Quartzsite, AZ
Quartzsite has no state parks, so we are at 88 Shades, a commercial park selected from the AAA campground guide -- click the link for another view. The park is still recuperating from the Quartzsite Annual RV Show that runs the last couple of weeks of January.
There are mostly permanent residents here now, along with a few travelers like us. One characteristic of the permanently moored RVs are the swamp coolers -- simple air conditioners that work by just water evaporation. There are still a passel of RV dealers and support operations here, and a few gas stations, restaurants, and RV parks, so the rates are very reasonable: $25 per night. The amenities are a little wear-worn, but otherwise fully acceptable.
