Bloggerfest has been on the last Saturday during the "Big Tent" in Quartzsite for the last several years. Today was that day. Last year we had said if we were in the Quartzsite area we would attend. Paula had put it out on her blog, In the Shadows, that she would be at the shelter in La Posa South at 1 o'clock on Saturday, so we headed over. We had mentioned joining us to two new friends who do not blog but read several of the blogs and we were glad to see them pull up. It ended up that the number in attendance was six, four bloggers and two friends. We still enjoyed some nice conversation. As we said our see you next times we all agreed if we are in the area we would be there next year. Hopefully it will be a year that more bloggers are in the area to join us.
On our way.
Turning into La Posa South.
Being a little early we took a slight detour.
Looks very empty in these two spots this year.
Not as many Bluebirds across the way.
The bridge over the wash going back
to the shelter has been replace.
We can see Paula and Doug talking as we pull up.
This unfortunately is the only picture I took.
are interested. The six people who attended were:
Paula, Doug, Cathy, Shane, Tom and I.
Thank you, Paula for keeping the Bloggerfest going.
After we left the Bloggerfest we headed over to the Tent. Tom had brought our hitch over in the morning to be serviced so we did need to pick it up. We then headed over to Gem World there were a couple of things I wanted to pick up. After that we headed home.
What I did catch of tonight's sunset was behind the clouds.
The lovely Saguaro out our door in the last of the day's light.
The next time I looked West the sun
had dropped behind the mountains.

We had rain late Saturday evening and a few times overnight but we opened the curtains to blue sky in between clouds this morning.
A little after 1 o'clock when we were heading out
it looked like it was raining to the west of us.
I just liked the clouds
along with the sun
and the mountains in these pictures.
Today's destination was just off of Palm Canyon Road to
visit Cathy and Shane. They found a great spot with
wonderful views to spend some time.
One of their views.
As we left Palm Canyon we made a quick stop to say hi
to Doug and Yuma who are also parked out in that area.
As you can see they have a similar view.
The sun setting from Doug's spot in the desert.
It was a good day for our memory book.
We are glad you stopped by!
If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.
There are definitely good spots to park out in the desert. Haven't the clouds been spectacular?
ReplyDeleteThe clouds have definitely been spectacular.
DeleteGlad you made it to Bloggerfest and that Paula is holding 'the fort' for the gatherings. Hopefully, God willing, we'll be there next January!
ReplyDeleteBill and I were wondering how things are at the Big Tent. Just curious. Many vendors?
We are glad Paula is willing to keep holding "the fort". Like you said, God willing next year will be a totally different story. Honestly, Tom and I had talked about skipping the tent this year last year. Doug did visit so he might be able to give you that answer. (There was nothing we needed and I told Tom we do not need any more free stuff...lol) Most outside vender areas look pretty full. The only place that was empty was the east side of Kuehn on the northside of the road. Hope that makes sense.
DeleteThe recent weather has created some beautiful, interesting and changeable views. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love all changing views caused by the clouds, also. I especially enjoy watching the shadows constantly changing on the mountains.
DeleteFantastic views and what a sunset!!! Looks pretty empty out there in the desert, hopefully next year will be back to normal.
ReplyDeleteThe views have been great. There are not as many rigs out here as in the past and I am sure the border being closed between our two countries is the reason. Though to be honest I do try to take shots without other rigs in the picture or there is always spot fix...lol Stay safe.
DeleteThat Arizona sky sure is interesting and you captured nice cloud formations. Too bad not more bloggers were around to attend the bloggerfest. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree the Arizona sky, especially when it is filled with clouds, is interesting. Hopefully next year will be different and we will see crowd of bloggers at the shelter.
DeleteLooked like good weather for Bloggerfest. Hopefully we'll be back in the future.
ReplyDeleteThe water sometimes washed over that Bridge. Nice they replaced it.
Nice Pictures.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time
Even thought the temperature was on the cool side the sun being out always help.
DeleteNo doubt that bridge needed replacing. This one look sturdier for all the traffic that goes that way.
