         What an amazing day we started out with, warm overnight and temps in the low 60's by 7 am. Love it ! Into the high 80's by noon.
      Walkabout this area known as Peg Leg Smith free camping area. You can read a lot about him on the internet if you wish.

    Then I drove around a while checking the area again and into town. Just have to see Christmas Circle.

          Now back to home dirt and another walkabout is in order.
that is us on the right 
     I am on a mission to locate the Big Stone Snake somewhere over those hills behind us.
So I took off for a leisurely walk towards the hill. But not really prepared for the hike turned back to try again another day (hopefully), walking stick and water.
but I did get this far
          Then we just enjoyed this wonderful very warm weather in the shade.  And yep you know its warm when Suzie in wearing shorts in the shade!
      We were having a good friend, guest, visitor, for supper today. Second time this winter last time in Quartzsite. George, the man with all the hot pepper sauces that got me hooked. We chat, catchup and he wants even more info about our RV lifestyle.
         He brought some wonderful dry rubbed pork steaks he marinated along with lots veggies and his wonderful spices. The two of us prepared the meal for our Weber Q, nope Suzie did not mind at all! She cand read her book while did this.
George prepping the veggies and pork
        Of course George brought a wonderful hot salsa and even found a Borrego springs Habanero sauce in town as well.
excellent salsa

      The pork steaks wonderful spiced with an amazing Butt Rub onions and garlic.
Veggies again nicely spiced and wrapped in foil. I whipped some scalloped potatoes also wrapped in foil and all on our baby Q. George also picked up some store made Chorizo sausage in town to cook up and try.
       Then time to dine in style ( camping style) good friends, good conversation and good food. Does it get much better? Think not.
oh so tasty
   Then to wind down outside enjoy the sunset and amazing star filled desert skies.
Yep we love it here.
    Thanks for dropping by today, always nice to hear from y'all.

  2. Those hot sauces look good! I made shrimp diablo the other night... used about 1/4 of an habenero pepper (among other kinds) and even that tiny bit gave the sauce a lot of ooomph! Hope you find the snake and post photos...

  5. Always make certain to bring your water with you out in the desert even at those temps it is easy to get dehydrated.
    Another great visit. Hopefully that wasn't too spicy for Suzie to eat.
    We're getting colder for the weekend.
    Be safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
