@ Quartzsite, AZ - Day 2

Day 8 - 01-13-10
Wanda was up at her usual 5:00 'ish or so, JW 8:00am. This is our 2nd day here. Visiting with Uncle Jerry and Aunt Gladys was the order of the day. Our first stop was "Sweet Darlene's Restaurant and Bakery". WOW ! what a breakfast. First we had to get waited on, and I think half of the RVers in Quartzsite were in there. The restaurant is a Morton Building that seats probably 300 people and the tables are all in a row with about 50 to a table. We had to sit with some "new friends" and after 45 minutes we were waited on. Getting the food was another adventure (another 30 minutes), first the waitress brought us the wrong order, twice, then finally got it right the third time. It was delicious.




Uncle Jerry took us on a tour of Quartzsite and all the flea markets (hundreds of them) and we got to see the "BIG" tent going up that will open this weekend. We then headed for Blythe, CA for fresh grapefruit. Then it was on to Parker, AZ and Lake Havasu City. Beautiful mountains folks. RV Parks "everywhere", by the Colorado River, on top of the mountains, on the side of mountains and in the desert. Everywhere you looked, RVs. Aunt Gladys said " and they aren't all here yet. They'll all be here for the RV show that starts next week". Whew! ! ! I can't imagine. It was an excellent day with temps in the mid 70's, light wind. We arrived back in Quartzsite around 6:00p.m., just in time for a jam session at the campground. Wanda & I, Uncle Jerry & Aunt Gladys took this in. Lots of good music, some not so good but "HEY" they got up there and gave it their all. The lady with the mandolin that performed Amazing Grace was excellent.


Tomorrow, the 14th, we head for Hemet and the Mountain Valley RV Resort. Chad and Melissa, "here we come".
That's it for this update, please check back tomorrow as we continue our journey to sunny Southern California.
