After ten days of parking lot camping at the Casino del Sol we are where we are the happiest. Coyote Wash BLM is one of our favourite camp sights. Right now it is very quiet. There are only seven campers, including us in an area that could have as many as 80 - 100 rigs.
Our closest neighbours in the distance....I don't think we are antisocial but it is nice to have the peace and quiet without having to listen to your neighbours conversations.
This is the 10 day period when so many rv'ers are in Quartzsite for the annual RV show. After next weekend anywhere from one to two hundred thousand snowbirds will spread out from Quartzsite heading in all directions.
We had a relaxing day. It was a little overcast but still pleasantly warm. I walked, watched the birds, and did a little catching up with my journal painting. It is always amusing to listen to the locals describe us, "as being from colder climates" because we find it warm enough to be wearing shorts while they are in long pants and jackets.
The groundskeepers at the casino even wore scarves wrapped around their faces as they start their day as dawn breaks.
A few catch up pictures from our days in Tucson. And a final evening sky as we finish cooking our dinner.
The desert always provides the most beautiful skies no matter what kind of weather we have. The highway going south to the border is quiet at night as the border is closed from midnight til 6:00am. The sign at the camp entrance says... "be aware that this is an area of drug smuggling and illegal alien traffic". We have never seen any evidence of either. We can see the border patrol road block lights about 5 miles in the distance. The only evidence of traffic we see is the patties left by the cattle that roam through this area during the night.
