Bordertown with the Carr’s

We had plans to meet with Don and Joy Carr at Bordertown RV park and Casino just outside Reno. Since we are locals to Reno we offered to show them around. Scheels and Cabalas were on the agenda. Oh did I mention that beading and buying beads in Reno was also planned by the girls. I had my own plans to drive to Carson City and buy some batteries for the trailer.

We were planning to meet the Carr’s on Sunday, June 19, 2009. Saturday afternoon I was finished loading the trailer and I asked Roxanne what time the Carr’s would get to Bordertown. Roxanne said they were already there! I said “What the heck are we waiting for?” So….. We locked up the house and left the premises.

 

Don and Joy brought along the family shown above. Debbie, Don and Joy’s daughter and her little girl Madison traveled from their home in Paradise California with the Carr’s. David their son and his wife Donna and their two children Ryan & Emily were on vacation and joined us for the weekend. Afterward they continued on their way to the Mammoth California area.

I had a heck of a time finding a good picture of the Carr’s so here is the best I could do. The next two pictures are taken at a bead shop on our last trip to the coast.Thanks to my pal Butch and Sue for providing the pictures.

This picture is of the Girls at a bead shop. Joy is standing to Roxanne’s left. Pam and Sharon are missing from this photo cause they are still buying MORE beads!

This picture was taken by the girls of the guys. Don is the tall guy on the left. Big Red the truck we are all around belongs to Bob Grissom, the guy to my right. Bob pulls his trailer with this truck. Very Nice.

Here we find the Girls beading. Introductions around the table are Joy,  standing. To Joy’s left is her daughter-in-law Donna. Across from Donna is Joy’s daughter Debbie. To Debbie’s left is Roxanne. To Roxanne’s left is Debbie’s daughter, Madison. The little cutie facing you is Donnas daughter. Emily. Behind Joy standing is her son, David.

You just can’t have too much fun beading. Sorry to Joy and Roxy for the chopped off heads but this was the best picture I had.

Donna’s son Ryan doing guy stuff. No beading for him!

David and Donna’s daughter Emily.

Debbie’s daughter, Madison. Madison is becoming quite the beading expert. Mom normally does not allow Madison to wear dangly earrings. This was a special occasion.

While I had no interest in beading I know beading isn’t cheap. Understanding that I decided to get my fair share of the available spending money. Don, David and I got an estrogen break and took a drive to Carson City. These are AGM batteries, New, they cost several hundred dollars each, By buying them used I got 5 batteries for $125.00. I expect to get several years usage from these batteries. I installed 4 in the trailer and even the camper got an AGM battery. Roxanne didn’t find the batteries all that exciting until I explained that the lighting above her beading table would be brighter and would last up to 4 times longer than the existing 4 year old batteries. She thinks they are ugly but if it makes me happy……. Yeah Right!  We made a stop at Safari RV supply to pick up a door stop for David. David also wanted to check out a hobby shop. We found one nearby in the Yellow Pages and off we went.  All in all the guys had a nice afternoon. Roxanne and I arrived on Saturday July 18th and left Tuesday July 21. We have lived in the area for 30 + years and we didn’t know the RV park was even there. Being close to the freeway I expected it to be very noisy. Not so. It was a beautiful nicely landscaped park with 50 pull through spaces. Free Wi-Fi, Cable and a small casino within easy walking distance, Their restaurant has excellent reasonably priced food. We will probably go back for another visit.

Next outing?

Don and Joy have invited us to their home about 3 hours away in Paradise. We are taking our trailer. I understand they have gold prospecting in the area, Roxanne is going to take a beading class with Joy. SUPRISE!!

Sounds like a lot of fun to me. See ya there.

Eagle Lake with the Moore’s

While we were at the 7 Feathers Casino in Canyonville, Oregon Don and Claudia Moore (Above) came over to visit. They noticed our portable Ice Maker and decided they wanted one. We all got in the truck and off we went on a quest for for such a beast. Normally $179.00 we found ours on clearance for $99.00. We were looking for such a deal. It was not to be. So Claudia tasked Roxanne with finding one in Reno. We almost forgot about it. We were in Reno and I mentioned I wanted to go to Home Depot and Roxanne exploded! “I almost forgot” she said, “I was supposed to find Claudia an Ice Maker” So off we went to Home Depot. No Luck. Not ready to give up so easily Roxanne decided to hit another. There are 4 in Reno. We went into the second store and waaaay uppppp high there was a lonely Portable Ice Maker. We got a kid with one of those giant ladder platforms and brought it down. I asked how much and he said on clearance for $89.00. MAN 10 bucks less than what I paid. We bought it and when we got home we called them and gave them the good news. They were pleased about the news. Don and Claudia had heard about Eagle Lake, a campground close to us. They wanted to check it out and suggested we meet for a tour of the lake and come get their Ice Maker. Sounded great to us so on Tuesday 7-14-09 we met at the lake. The girls put together a picnic basket and we found an unused campsite. I just pulled in and Don backed his rig in the same spot. We sat at the picnic table and had a wonderful lunch. Well there we were eating and talking and up the road in a little put-put comes the cranky campground host. First he chewed me out for not backing in… Safety hazard doncha know. If there is a fire you want to be driving FORWARD yelling FIRE!!!! instead of backing out and yelling !!!ERIF. (Fire spelled backward) Then he did a double take and didn’t see a occupied paper on the site post. His little put-put started rocking violently as he explained loudly that this was NOT a day use area. He went on to explain how these sites were first come first serve and a camper looking for a camp site would assume this site was occupied and deprived of it’s use. Inside we were giggling and told him in our most apologetic tone were really sorry and we will pack up immediately. He left talking to himself and we started packing up. We said our good-byes and with heads hung in shame, Don pulled out forward and I backed out. Well we had a fun time even if the Campground Host tried to ruin it for us. Next stop? Bordertown where we will meet with Don and Joy Carr AKA Nailbender on Sunday 7-19-09 Here’s a little sumthin for ya Mr. Campground Host!

Camping at Indian Valley California

We met Rod and Ardith Rehfeld and their dog Seth in Quartzsite Arizona last January. Rod and Ardith accepted a position as Campground Host in the Tahoe National Forest at the Indian Valley Campground near Downieville, CA. We promised them we would come visit so off we went.

 

We left at 2:30 PM on Wednesday afternoon 7-8-09 destination, Indian Valley Campground in Indian Valley, California.  We arrived at 5:30 PM just in time for dinner. Inside the dining tent and protected from the mosquitoes we enjoyed a great steak dinner.

 

We didn’t take our trailer for this short stay and took the camper instead. It is fully self contained with toilet, shower kitchen and fridge. The one thing lacking is an oven. Roxanne came home and dug up a cute little portable electric oven that won’t take much space. Problem solved.

This is Gold Country! and there is evidence of past gold mining activity from the 1800’s and 1930’s depression.

Lot of rocks here

The ole swimming hole on the Yuba River at Indian Valley Campground.

Seth Rehfeld gets his picture taken. Seth, like his parents was a great Host and welcomed Maddy into his home. Seth and Maddy played and shared leather chews. Schnauzers are often one person dogs. Seth was a rare exception and if you are willing he will sit in your lap and be your best friend.

We were getting ready to say goodbye and we got Rod, Ardith and Seth to pose by the campground sign in in their uniforms.

One last pic of the four of us taken by another camper.

On our way home we stopped in Downieville California. Beautiful little -town getting ready for a downhill bicycle race on Saturday 7-11-09.

Another shot of the main drag in Downierville. We found a little store that made the best sandwiches. Yumm!

On our way home in Downieville. Good thing we didn’t bring the trailer because the only way across the river is this single lane bridge. Rod and Ardith told us war stories of how people that didn’t line up perfectly got themselves stuck on this bridge and a crane had to pick them up and reposition them so they could continue.

Well That was our trip to Indian Valley with Rod, Ardith and Seth. Thanks guys, we had a great time. We are already planning to do it again at the end of August.

Here it is Saturday morning 7-11-09, basking in the afterglow of a super mini vacation nursing a hot cup of coffee listening to the Food Channel on TV and working on the Blog. Roxanne promises eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Gracyn our Granddaughter called at 7:45 AM to invite us to her birthday party this afternoon and to ask if she could come spend the night. Gracyn is now 4 years old. All I can say is “Thank you Lord” I can’t imagine life getting any better!

Next stop? I don’t know for sure. Fellow travelers refer often to something called “Hitch Itch” That is when you are sitting in your living room and you just get the “URGE” to get outta Dodge. Somewhere, Anywhere, as long as it’s on the road.

Hang on I’m beginning to feel a tingle. Hope it’s not hitch itch cause I got a Honey-Do–List that needs doing.  Nope that tingle was my stomach growling for some more coffee and maybe some eggs & potatoes. See ya later.

Seven Feathers Casino & RV Park – Canyonville, OR

This is the last leg of our Progressive Rally. Seven Feathers Casino & RV Park, located in Canyonville, Oregon.

Our stay began with a "Meet & Greet". A questionnaire is handed out. On it are questions about people at the rally. For example "Who in his youth was an Eagle Scout". You have to go around asking different people and at some point you zero in on the person and he has to initial your page. It took about an hour to complete. Along the way people came to me for my initial. The question concerning me was "Who is a self proclaimed hermit?" While at Seven Feathers the girls really got into full swing with beading. Roxanne learned how to make a few different bracelets.

One day we had a "Show & Tell". This is where the guys show or demonstrate modifications they have made to their Montana's. It's one thing to read about "MODS" on the Montana Forum but it's really different when you can see and touch and ask questions on the spot. It’s pretty cool to see what people invent to make life better on the road. Turns out the women were just as interested in all the MODS and traveled from trailer to trailer taking in all the improvements others have made. Some had pencil and paper in hand making a honey-do list. It's this kind of interaction that makes the group feel more like family rather than just a member of an RV club. Good thing I put my pajamas under my pillow because one minute I was showing off my bicycle rack outside and the next thing people I didn’t even know were inside checking out my heater installation. We all had a great time meeting and checking out each others Monty.

One evening a bunch of us got together and took a shuttle bus to a Mexican Restaurant in Canyonville. Here we are waiting for our shuttle. We took the shuttle because if we each brought our vehicle we would overwhelm the parking lot at the restaurant.

They served BIG Margarita’s!

Dick Driver on the left in light blue, his wife Jackie in a matching light blue shirt. Me in the middle. Opposite me is Roxanne’s camera case because she’s taking the picture. Dick Carr on the right sitting across from his wife Joy. We are all waiting for the waiter to take our order.

After dinner waiting for the shuttle to take us home. Don says he is stuffed. John verifies and confirms Don has a long way to go before he can catch up with John.

During the day there was plenty of time to do your own thing. While Roxanne stayed at the club house with the ladies making bracelets, John and Dick Driver tried their hand at gold prospecting at the Umpqua River. Here John looks into his sluice box for any sign of gold.

As is the custom we have a campfire every evening. I think this is where the famous “Circle” was born. The early birds show up sitting close to the fire. As new comers arrive people back away from the fire making room for the new guys. Over and over we back away from the fire making more room for our friends. Eventually you realize the real warmth you feel is not so much from the fire but is coming from the family you are visiting with.

Here is what I am talking about. The “Circle” January 2009 in Quartzsite Arizona. If you double click this (and all) pictures here you see in the center is the campfire. Notice the trampled down area around the campfire? That is because as more people arrive at the campfire we all scoot away from the fire to make room for the newcomers. Is it obvious yet? YEP, that’s right next year we are going to have to move the Monty’s out to make room for MORE trailers! More and more folks will make the trip from all over the United States to get together and share their travel experiences. Look CLOSELY. At about 12:00 at the top of the circle you see the dirt road pathway where people can drive into the circle. Just to the left of that driveway are two saguaro cactus. See them?

Here is a better picture of those two cactus. Roxanne and I came to Quartzsite for a week maybe two. We ended staying a whole month and we were the LAST Monty to leave the “CIRCLE", The remaining trailer there was a visitor. He is known as an SOB. Stands for Some Other Brand other than a MONTANA brand trailer. Anyway I thought it was cool to draw the connection between the circle around the campfire and circle of trailers around the campfire. Back to 7 Feathers and the present.

It was a sad day as we traveled home complete with rain, thunder and lightning. If you look closely you can see a rainbow.

Here is a better picture. Well there you have it. We made it home safe and sound. The following week, friends from the MOC, (Montana Owners Club) emailed us and said they had moved from Seven Feathers and were now at Eagle Lake. They invited us to visit for the evening. We loaded up the car and an hour later we arrived. Doug and Sharon Henry, Mike and Renee Brown, Carl and Sue Youngren were sitting around the campfire. As we walked up, they all scooted away from the campfire making their circle bigger so we could join them. Next trip? As I write this 6/22/09 we plan to go to Lake Almanor for the weekend……. Maybe longer!

The Mill Casino - Coos Bay Oregon

We arrive at the Mill Casino & RV Park on May 30th

Hey LOOK guys IT’S A MONTANA!!! Wonder who it is??

A sea of Montana’s

Miss Maddy patrols her area of responsibility.

It’s overcast, a little drizzly, light jacket weather. Didn’t think I was going to like it here . It turns out you can't NOT have a good time if you hang out with these guys. It turns out that someone in the group has already been here done that.

We went to dinner at the casino our first evening. The on Tuesday several of the girls went to a quilt store then across the street to a bead shop, I have a feeling they spent a LOT of money but they won’t tell us how much. They all stepped out on the front porch of the beading store, in unison, and said I spent $29.37. I don't believe it because they were laughing. Roxanne bought me a fly tying book that uses beads in the fly tying process. Later We went to a bakery and bought some goodies. After that Butch & Sue, Ray & Pam, Don & Joy, Dick & Jackie John & Roxanne went lunch at The Fisherman's Grotto, an out of the way restaurant that Butch & Ray knew about.

The next day, most of the group went to dinner at the Waterfront Depot. It was a very nice bar / restaurant.

Great food, great friends, and what a view out that window!

One day while out sight seeing, Butch & Ray stopped at an oyster store. They bought some oysters.

Note: Whenever at camp everyone puts a little something together like chips & dip, cheese & crackers, finger foods etc. Can't forget your cocktail. Keeping with tradition Butch & Ray turned on the Bar-B-Q and the oysters they bought earlier in the day were cooked and served to all. Life is good.

We went to the Botanical Gardens.

We spent a day with Dick & Jackie Driver and Don & Joy Carr. We took in a lighthouse, had lunch at a park, went to the tide pools, and later we all went to a museum.

To build an appetite for lunch we took a walk down to the beach and enjoyed the tide pools and the seals.

We found this tree on the beach and took a snapshot.

John poses with an old tug boat on display. Next stop Western Regional Rally at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, Oregon.

Hells Gate Boat Ride

May 28th we went with the Montana Owners Group to Hells Gate Boat Ride trip on the Rogue River in Oregon. Double click on the picture and find us if you can. Hint: 6th row center. This boat “LOOKS” like a slug. Not so. Three 454 Chevy engines power this baby down the river at over 60 MPH. Considering the capacity of the boat it's amazing to see and feel it maneuver. It was a hot day and the driver enjoyed getting us wet. Actually we enjoyed it too. Several movies have been made on this river. a couple are Rooster Cogburn and The River Wild. We made it back safely and made it back in time for 4 PM Happy Hour. This is a time when most of the group gets together and sits in a circle. Some bring their own refereshments and talk. Some of the ladies fix snack trays. That means Roxy is having a blast doing what she loves to do. Tomorrow we leave for The Mill Casino In Coos Bay, Oregon.

Valley of the Rogue

We arrived yesterday May 26th at Valley of the Rogue State park. Several of the MOC arrived the same day so all were setting up their trailers. Walking the loop and visiting is a fun way to pass the time. Evenings around the camp fire talking about past traveling experiences make us anxious to do the same. It's especially fun to discover that a new acquaintance has been to the same places we have.
Today May 27th we went to the nearby town of Jacksonville, Oregon. This is gold country and the town has some old time shops dedicated to sharing the past. The rest of the town has lots of shops selling tourist stuff. Roxanne found a cooking shop and bought a few things. We had a nice lunch at a Thai restaurant. Next we went to Medford and found a Harry & David store. After that we went to Costco and returned home. This afternoon several of the ladies put together a bunch of snacks and we all sat around visiting and sharing the days activities. One member of the group has most of the stuff needed to install an inverter. In the morning we will spend an hour or so installing the inverter. This is in preparation for the next camp out in Quartzsite where he will be Boondocking. The idea of an inverter is that you can convert battery power to household power. That means that you can run small appliances in the trailer like a coffee pot or satellite TV. In my opinion the goal is to be totally self supporting. I'm not even close and don't know if I'll ever be as well equipped as some of the Boondocking Masters.
Tomorrow afternoon we have made plans to take a boat trip on the Rogue.

Progressive Rally Siskiyou to Seven Feathers

Well, we are off again. After much preparation we left Thursday May 21, for Lake Siskiyou in Northern California. Just a short jaunt down the road about 3 ½ hours North of home in Milford. We arrived with no war stories of breakdowns. I am pleased to announce that my modified bicycle rack worked as redesigned. I used the kid’s old bikes to use as test dummies just in case my modification failed. Now we will invest in some adult size bikes that look nice and are mechanically functional. A nice broad, Jell (or is that Gel) seat in on the list as well. Maybe I can get skinny riding my way to better health and old age. Ha! Dream on my little friends.
There are way to many Dairy Queen’s on the road to allow that to happen!
Shortly after getting the Montana 5th wheel trailer I found a Web site called MOC (Montana Owners Club) This is a group of people that share their experience of ownership, maintenance and travel with their Montana 5th wheel trailer. Putting a face with a name is always a fun time and the camp out at Lake Siskiyou was no exception. There was a fishing tournament, breakfast, dinner, pot lucks, campfires, and much more. We had to say good-bye to many on Monday that had to go back to woooooorrrrrrrkkkkk! To those I say SORRY. Did I sound sincere? I can only try.
Monday evening the remainder of our group went to the local Mexican Restaurant, Casa Ramos. There were about 50 of us. We had a great meal and the head waiter brought ME the check. It was for the whole group!!! It seems that it is customary for the newest MOC member (ME) to get and pay the bill!!! Fribulating Frenulum!!! You notice the excessive use of the exclamation points? The exclamation point is used to express feeling. HOLY CRAP!!!! Have I got FEELING!!!
The bill was $543.96. I kept swallowing but there was no saliva. I was trying to maintain calm while my skin was feeling like I was thrown into a cactus patch in Quartzsite! I sat there thinking OK, be cool It’s not THAT bad Roxanne’s gonna KILL me. Then I rubbed my thumb and forefinger together and discovered a second receipt for the second receipt for $459.01. That made a total of $1002.97 PLUS the tip!!!! Somehow my mind did the math of 20% of a grand NO make that 15% of a grand…. SHIT!!! (It's my BLOG, I can say that) Here your thinking of cheaping out on the tip for 50 bucks? I gotta go PEE. Maybe there is a window in the bathroom. I could hook up the trailer and get outta Dodge before everybody got back to the campground. Oh man? We came with Dick and Jackie Driver. We got no ride!!!! (More feeling)
OK, I give. If your gonna hang with the big dogs…… Yada Yada Yada. I hope they enjoyed their dinner. I did. I have been informed that "What happens at Casa Ramos stays at Casa Ramos"
Oh Yeah, all the waiters showed up and put a big Mexican hat on my head and started singing "Happy Birthday" to me. Seems like my Pal, Robbie supreme Boondocking "Master" must have been trying to get me a free dessert with a candle. Some consolation for getting the bill. Hmmmmm. Thanks Robbie……. I think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next stop? Valley of the Rogue. See ya there.

Edit: It's a couple of days later and things have settled down. Some of our group discovered I had this blog intended to be shared with mostly family to follow our travels. The evening described above was shocking, embarrasing, and I believe all done in fun. I kinda got all caught up in the evening and that drama spilled out onto the blog. I have already modified some text so as not to be over the line and cause offense. Nothing here is meant to be disrespectful. Sometimes I'm not as funny as I think I am. If anyone finds something offensive get in touch with me and I will remove it.

Lets go to Idaho-ho-ho

Sunday March the 8th I called my Mom in Idaho. She told me that she had fallen and hit her head. Monday, Roxy & I were walking and she said maybe we should go see her. Next morning we were gone. We stayed for two weeks and had a very nice visit. I also got to see my two sisters Robin and Stephanie. Stephanie and her husband Danny signed up at their church to play Pinochle. They had not played in years and we volunteered to play a few hands to get them back in the groove. Stephanie shows up and after awhile it is apparent she has a cold. So lets sneeze into your hand, shuffle the cards and pass it around. Well SURPRISE! I got it. Thanks Sis.
We hit all the yard sales, had some great food (Prime Rib) and we learned about Redbox. We returned home Monday the 23rd. I have a honey doo list THIS BIG!
Our next trip is going to be for one month and begins at the end of May. See you then.

AND THE BEAT GOES ON

Well we finally did it, Snow birding. We left for Quartzsite on Tuesday January 13th. We weren’t sure we were going to get the Montana off the mountain because of ice on the road. We made it! We drove to Hawthorne NV and spent the night at a Love’s truck stop in between all the Semi’s at 20 degrees. Needless to say we froze and got very little sleep. We continued on to Las Vegas to visit Chad, Jen, and Timmy (their Yorkie). We had dinner with Chad and Jen at a Mexican restaurant. That night we stayed at Sam’s Town RV Park. We left for Quartzsite the next morning arriving in the dark but still early evening Thursday January 15th. On Friday we went to a New Christie Minstrels concert.
I guess apologies are in order. When starting this blog I only did it to keep friends and family up to date as we traveled. Roxanne on the other hand believes I have committed to a life long journal. Hmmmmm I'll try but I'm not enthused. I need to be in the mood (I finally get it) I'm going to do my best to get Roxy to write some. Onward. We went to Quartzsite to hang out with the gray hairs. We had a GREAT time. You that really know me accept that I am a hermit. I have been perfectly happy to enjoy my solitude on my mountain for the last 30+ years. Our closest friends have been through our church. So we show up in Quartzsite and there was a circle a thousand feet around with 36 trailer spots. Our next door neighbor had a powered hang glider and he took a picture of the circle.
We met a few of the people last year at our first outing with the trailer. Everyone was new to us and the weekend was short. Everyone was friendly but there was so much to do and so little time to really get to do much more than be just acquainted. At Quartzsite it was totally different. Everyone was relaxed, friendly, and looking for a fun time. A couple of people remembered us. I recognized a couple of faces but didn't remember their names. I'm going to work on that. I'm thinking Scotch every night at the nightly campfire is going to help. Whatever, the chemistry was such that I believe lifetime friendships were made. There is so much experience to draw from. Robbie an official "Boon Docker is a guy that has "everything" down to a science. He has ALL the goodies. From a stand alone ice maker to a freezer to ALL the solar power he needs to run everything including high speed internet just about everywhere he goes. Another fellow, Dave told stories and jokes around the campfire. Activities in Quartzsite included the worlds largest RV show, Craft show, Car show, Rock & Gem show, Flea markets as far as the eye could see. I was in heaven. A new friend Jim took me under his wing and showed me how GeoCaching worked. Roxanne got together with several of the ladies and picked up a new hobby, beading. Posted here is a bracelet called a soup bracelet. One day we went to Los Algodonas Mexico. We bought stained glass windows for our entry door. Don't have a picture of ours but one I admired of a lighthouse is posted here. Many of the folks in "The Circle" had a kind of flagpole with a windsock. I had to have one. A heavy-duty 26-foot fiberglass pole with several windsocks. Picture posted of my trailer with pole and windsock. Each evening we were treated to a breathtaking Arizona sunset. Makes ya wanna cry huh? Well maybe not but if I can pick up a camera and snap a picture like the one posted here you KNOW that being there in person was humbling and so much more! Thank you Jesus!
Even Maddy found a new friend in CC a Chinese Powder Puff. CC's Mom & Dad Dick and Jackie showed us how "Full Timers" live on the road.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                This is CC Maddy’s new friend. CC is a Chinese Powder Puff. CC’s Mom & Dad are Dick & Jackie Driver.

                                                                                         Tyson Wells is just one of hundreds of Flea Markets in Quartzsite Arizona. They say that if you need something for your RV and you can’t find it in Quartzsite it doesn’t exist!

 

                                                                  The “Circle” FAMOUS among the Montana Owners Club. You know you can double click on any of these pictures to get a better view? They say the town of Quartzsite grows from a population of 3500 to over 3 MILLION in January.

                                          This guy took several pictures of our circle from above.. He was a next door neighbor. He is known by our group as a SOB. That stands for “Some Other Brand” of RV other than a Montana 5th Wheel Trailer. Nice guy and we really appreciated him doing us the favor of taking our picture. It sure makes it easier to explain what we mean by “Our Circle”.

So there you have it a month in Quartzsite. When Roxanne and I left the circle there was only one trailer left. I guess that says it all. Did we have a good time? YOU BET!
