Thursday Jan 6, 2022 so the weather has been cold 30s-40s most nights the heat gets used. On Sunday we left our 2 week campsite and headed south to Quartzite to meet up with some boon docking friends from Ma, we camped a night on BLM government land and free camping. We were greeted warmly and we had arrived finally off the grid😀! Here are some pictures of the area it’s literally just gravel, stones,sand and some cacti and a whole lot of boon dockers, we have met a few people wha have sold their houses to boon dock full time year round and we just don’t share the allure? it’s been cold all but 2 nights but hey to each his/ her own we just don’t get it and it’s safe to say we won’t be doing that!!!
Plamosa Road Quartzite Arizona
The town of Quartzite grows from 3000 year round die hards to about 70,000 during the month of January and there are several rallies held RVshow, rock and mineral show, ham radio rally “ Quartzfest” fiberglass camper rally, Winnebago rally, you name it it happens here in winter and the Wild Wild West atmosphere attracts allot of rv-ers from all over the country the energy is high.
We are just back to Arizona today from California, Joshua Tree National Park. The first 2 nights were good the site was great but out parking space was so narrow we could not put out the slide- a luxury problem to be sure. This side of the park is totally different then the other side, this park is over 792,510 acres! It’s where the 2 deserts meet the Colorado and the Mojave. It’s hard to even fathom the vastness while here looking at it never mind the pictures. We finally got to see the Joshua Trees in the upper part of the park( day 3) and just as special as the Saguaros are to Arizona the Joshua Trees are to California. Here are some pictures of the campsites.
There must be a story here
Campsite 7 Joshua Tree
Breakfast anyone?
Snack for later
This concludes the slideshow but not the trip long story short we are headed back East due to family here in Arizona having covid one grand daughter, her baby son and her boy friend all tested positive in the last few days as did one of our friends from The boon docking community. Both John and I have been having symptoms of fatigue, low grade fevers, head cold, chills and body aches, we tested negative yesterdayJan 5 and are experiencing low or no home test kits available and testing sites are very limited on appointments and also our daughter and grand daughter in NH have been having health issues as well so it’s time for us to make our way home. Please keep us all in your prayers and send good energy our way, it can always be worse and we will be ok but may be slowed up with winter weather or sickness and have to take a little more time getting home. I will keep updating the rest of our trip. Our cell phones are always on so send a text or call if you wish. 🌵❤️🙏🏻
