Actually very mild night 54f at 4:30 this morning had a wonderful sleep. Now for the next week it will be cooler in the 60's and today windy. But when the sun is shining it will be quite nice out.
Our plan today is to check out the
Quartzite, Sports, Vacation and Rv Show which starts today at 9 am. We have done this most every year since 2007. We got to the show parking lot off of hwy 95 and pulled in with Bill, Patsy, Tom and Deb along. Got a nice parking spot right handy to the big tent and read our e-readers until it opens at 9 am sharp.

lots of free parking before the crowds arrive.
the Big tent right there |
 |
| did not take long to fill up though |
 |
we walked to the east entrance for 9 as an announcement
tells us it is open, gates open and crowds converge |
 |
| we made our way down the 3 rows in the tent |
Not much new pretty well the same every year, We spun a few wheels and won some prizes, checked things out. This has always been more of a home type show, with cooking demos jewelry clothing etc with maybe half of the booths related to camping , campgrounds, etc...

Then we came across the line for Minute Rice, saw Tom and Deb in line, so we chatted with them for a while and got our free samples of Minute Rice, Usually enough to last us a year.

Then outside the area over to the Roadmaster Sevice truck to check their hours. I will take our Roadster tow bar here at some point for free service which I do every year.

We headed on out just after 11 am and back down 95 to home dirt, Traffic lined up about for about a 1/2 mile heading north. In the past we have seen it lined up at this time well over a mile. Glad we are going south. and not so busy this year.
Out of the crowds, saw what we wanted, only money we spent was for some muscle cream (
Bend Again Cream) that works for Suzie from the same vendor we buy from every year here. on line is $38.00 and we always get a deal $30.00 as repeat customers.
Now a light tasty lunch and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. A cool wind and overcast quite cool at 62F but we were able to enjoy some outside reading for a bit out of the wind and in the sun .

| our view, love seeing the mountains here |

Saw this sign on the host office when I noticed they were closed midday! Hm, guess this area is no longer regulated and is closed down!
 |
| can't buy a permit now what! |
Then it was overcast a bit and we were invited to Tom and Deb's inside for Happy Hour, she was making some beer margaritas' . So at 3 pm we headed on over to check them out, Very tasty they were , could get hooked on these !
 |
checking out these beer margaritas , yup they are amazing !
thanks guys. |
 |
| Happy hour inside because we can |
30 minutes later we had a sprinkle of rain, just enough for us to put our chairs away.
 |
| sprinkles of rain, not enough to wet the ground |
Soon it was time to whip up supper. Tonight I had planned a stir fry. Too cold and windy for our Weber Q. Left over pork roast from the other day, with celery, carrot, onion, garlic, broccoli, and some Jasmin rice with some sweet and sauce, an egg and soya sauce. Quick easy and very tasty.
 |
the bottom 2 packs we got free today at the show
top was Jasmine rice from last year
we used one pack tonight |
 |
| this sure did the trick tonight and oh so tasty |
Just another fun day in Quartzite taking in the market for a bit and enjoy fun times with our friends, Will be cooler for a few days. But no problem here we can be toasty warm inside with our blue flame heater, no noise and sipping at our propane. Yup we love the heater and our home here in the desert.
Thank y'all for stopping by and hope your day was a great one as well.
