      The beginning of another fine desert day. Clear sunny skies on their way. After my first early morning walkabout for a mile was back home computing a bit more then we headed off to the Quartzsite, Sports, Vacation and RV show about 8:15 am, parked beside Bill, Patsy Rob and Pat, the show opens at 9am.
     So I wandered about the parking lot and checked with Roadmaster about taking our Tow bar in for service.
         Back again and heading to get in line for the one entrance, when this Lady steps out a display trailer and Says "Hi George" . Here I think do I know this lady does not look familiar. She says My name is Jody from Alberta Canada and reads your blog but does not comment. We chatted for quite a while then Suzie came along and she said Hi Suzie. too funny. I know a lot of people read but don't comment because with maybe 10-15 comments a  day and 1,500 or more page views every day there is a lot of readers that don't comment. What a super lady she is. Then Bill and Patsy, Tom and Deb  came by and she reads their blogs as well.
met with Jody a blog follower from Alberta Canada
            Well the gates opened and the hordes descended into the tent, so we made our way through checking to see if anything was new. Not so much but have a good overview  and will get back again at some point when not so busy.
walking the parking lots before the gates opened
I check out the Roadmaster service truck to see when
we can take our tow bar to be serviced.
Redland  busy working on coaches
lots of rigs on display for sale
     Now we head into the tent with the hordes of people, Wandering about to see if anything has changed or is new. Not much so did not take us long.
 a cool electric bike
still selling overpriced bamboo pillows
 we made our way through the crowds
 a hot tub for your RV?
        Then we wandered about the outside vendors , nothing exciting here but warm in the sunshine.
        This display below had a wonderful looking rig, love the paint job.
           With all this food cooking we saw something different garlic fries, something we have not tried so we shared a large order (not cheap 8, bucks), but hey we did not buy anything else today so that was a tasty treat.
love the smell here of the chicken and turkey legs cooking
love their turkey legs but not today
           We saw what we wanted today and were back home to peace and quiet shortly after 10:30 am. Had a light tasty lunch then I took a cruise  around the desert here. I do like to explore at this time of year, always something new.
love this retro trailer, they an old trick to match
not here right now
       Not far from here I checked our all the Entegra motorhomes that can in yesterday here for a rally or whatever and all the rainbow flags on most units, interesting. 
    Then I came across this TINY HOUSE. that is too cool as well, below.
     Back home we enjoyed some wonderful afternoon sunshine reading our page turners, , The fresh air and sunshine here in the desert is what we are here for.
    Soon time for happy hour with our friends, and we had company for a bit friends of  Tom and Debs for a while. Nice to meet their friends from Michigan  camped not too far from us.
       Now we having fun chatting I got a phone  call from our friends from Rock glen resort in Ontario Kim and Ken . So I whipped down the road to show them the way here. And they joined us for Happy Hour. They know the routine. Now once again we have 4 Canadian couples here from our home Park,  Rock Glen resort, Getting together in the Quartzsite desert!
Kim and Ken
     Shortly after 5 pm cooling down so we all head on home to whip up our own dinners. As the sun is setting.
      For our supper tonight I am going to grill a couple of Pollock fillets on our Weber Q, nicely spiced and oiled still frozen only 5 minutes a side, These were amazing.
wonderfully tender
added to our salad was excellent
      Now tonight going to be an eclipse , but now after 8: 30 pm and nothing happening yet so guess we gonna miss it, maybe you might see it.
this was close as we got
        After a fun desert day, with the crowds and friends time to soon call it a night. Thanks for stopping on by.
