Exploring Downtown Quartzsite for the First Time!

Saturday, December 14, 2019 — We wanted to go out for breakfast, since we didn’t have much food in the house. So we drove downtown for the very first time, to check things out!
Having only been exposed to “standard” RVs up until this point, we were amazed at the variations we saw here! There are some pretty enterprising folks here! These folks were transitioning from the white RV in front to the tan RV in back. The white RV was for sale, and sold within the next couple of weeks!

Here’s an old school bus mod! We had seen videos of these, but never close up and in person!

The oldest Swap Meet in Quartzsite, right next to the Post Office on West Main Street. Swap Meets are great places to look around. They have new items and used items, and you just never know what you will find!
