If an RVer spends winter in the Southwest, it seems mandatory that they take in the experience that is Quartzsite, AZ. And so, that's where we head next. First stop, the RV Pit Stop to dump, fill, flush and prepare ourselves for a week or so of dry camping in Arizona desert BLM. Next, onto our campsite at Plomosa Road Camping Area before we can get started exploring all the quirkiness Quartzsite has to offer. We visit the Rock & Gem show, take a ride out to the Desert Bar, and end our time at the Big Tent at the Quartzite RV Show. In one word - experience 😉

My parents spent many years in Quartzsite AZ from the beginning of the 90s through the 2000s clear into their 80s. Almost 30 years. Not all their winters but many of them. They loved it there! Growing up I thought that they didn't like people, and were very anti-social, but once they started RVing and going to Quartzsite, they made so many friends. They often spent the summers visiting friends up North who had stick & brick homes and only part-time RVd. Therefore, I have decided to buy an RV and start traveling full-time.

@monicalifornia_ 4 года назад

For some reason every time an rv vid shows up on my feed, I'm reminded of the blessing of home, family and community. 🙏🙏🙏

@EmbracingDetours 4 года назад

It's troubling times right now and the sense of security a home base and community afford you are certainly comforting during times of uncertainty. That said, we are doing surprisingly well given the situation. We got a monthly rate at a full hookups campground where we are comfortable and safe with access to laundry, dog runs, even a pool and hot tub! Also, we ended up in a larger city with ample grocery stores and hospitals, so we have access to supplies and medical care if needed. We hope that everyone is doing well, please stay safe out there 💛

@jebutah9705 4 года назад

@@EmbracingDetours Glad to learn that you guys are in a safe spot. We ended our trip to Arizona early and returned home last week on Monday and put the trailer into storage a week ago. Now we are hunkered down in our place in Salt Lake City.

@jimlundy2416 2 года назад

When visiting Quartzsite I think the best thing is to go to shady lane RV park for the night drop your holdings tanks, take a shower, empty your trash and do your laundry. For about 25 dollars. That’s a good price and don’t forget the desert bar..

Word of the day: Experience. I must have used that word a thousand times while we were there. It got to the point where we were editing it out of the footage every chance possible because the overuse was distracting! That said, it was a good experience 😉

@jebutah9705 4 года назад

Enjoyed the video. Since I ran into Bri in Yuma we went our to California and back then visited many of the places you guys have been visiting. We stopped by Quartzite, spent 3 days in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and a week in Tucson. At that point I decided that with the virus if we had to hunker down I wanted something bigger that the RV so we headed home a month early. Be safe out that and please keep the videos coming. These videos are a huge relief from the bombardment of bad news!

@EmbracingDetours 4 года назад

Sounds like you made the most of your time and visited some great places before being chased home early!! It was a pleasure to meet you in Yuma, glad to hear you made it home safely and are doing well. If I remember correctly, St. George? We considered coming that way, we'll get back to Southern Utah one of these days! Thank you for the kind words and wishes, please stay safe out there 💛

I usually explain Quartzsite by this analogy... Quartzsite is to RVERS as Sturgis is to bikers! I realize for the analogy to work there would have to be an understanding of Sturgis / bikers. Fortunately, the people I associate with do! I was in Quartzsite in January 2018. And, we left there and went to Yuma for a couple of weeks and then came back up and boondocked around the Quartzsite area for another couple of weeks. Really liked it. The big tent was fun. We attended Bob Wells‘ RTR and met some friends.
