Thurs. Jan. 26th Another hot one.

Thanks for joining us in our journey of North America

 in our Holiday Rambler, since August 2006 

Where are we Today ?

Quartzsite Arizona

        Blue skies, sunshine and its gonna be another hot day, lovin it. Intense sun and very little wind just wonderful. After the coffees, computing and walkabout we decided to wander a bit more. First stop is Tyson Wells vendors check out this amazing "World Famous Redwood Log House"  an impressive project to carve out the inside of this huge log. Our main reason here was stock up with with few more books, only a dollar each, excellent price.

        From here along Main st. to the Main Event at the other end of town. Just checking out the tool barns, discount tents and stores is entertaining and we are enjoying the wonderful fresh air sunshine and Arizona dust as well.

         We came came across a couple of interesting vehicles in the parking lots. The first one is an old Jeep with a brand new stainless steel body, very impressive!

        Then this 1967 Ford Econoline pickup truck, just driven here all the way for North Dakota

        Of course shortly after noon we walked by a food vendors handing out samples of his Teriaki Chicken and it tasted soo good and we were so hungry by now we had to have a plate to share for lunch. This was a bargain, a very filling and tasty plate full of food that we shared for only seven dollars. While dining on the sidewalk we enjoyed, a luncheon concert listening to the country songs of Jamie Baker.

        A few more vendors and all was checked out, lots of good deals to be had.

Then we have had enough exploring for one day so back to home dirt, grab some shade and relax with our books for a while, a bike ride about the desert checking out the license plates to see where everybody is from. Until shortly after 3 o'clock the Window guys came back to reinstall the dual pane window, this one had to have new glass cut and tempered it was so badly etched.

        Now they just have to remove the two front windows and repair these. They are fogging up to the point that it was difficult to see my mirrors sometimes. They should be repaired tonight and reinstalled tomorrow.

        After all this was done its now about time to fire up our Weber Q 100 to perfectly cook a cornish hen and a some chinese noodles and veggies for a nice tasty supper and wrap up our day.

        Do you wonder why all the pictures of food? In case you didn't know I owned and operated a small restaurant for ten years and still love cooking and enjoying food and like to share it with you.
