Wonderful, Relaxing Days Parked at LaPosa South

(Clicking on the pictures will open them larger in a new window.)

We are spending some wonderful days parked out in the desert at LaPosa South LTVA. There are more and more rigs pulling in everyday but in our neighborhood there are open spaces and quiet, serene, living parked by friends. We are relaxing and enjoying the days slowly slip by. Life is good.

The sun setting at the end of the day.
I do not think we would ever get tired of this time of the day watching the
sun slip behind the mountains.

Stopped by on of my favorite Quartzsite Stores  and left with a few beads.

The wooden Eagle on the roof has some real bird friends
hanging out.

We took a ride over to Dome Rock BLM just to check out the area and see if there was any place we might enjoy hanging out sometime in the future.

A wiggle worm sign.

Saw this motorhome being moved. Hope this is never us.

Still learning to adjust the camera. The clouds over the mountains, I thought were beautiful, the clouds to the north were dark but the camera would not let me take a picture. Patsy mentioned, sometimes you need to refocus, so next time I will try that.

Caught this morning's sunrise.

Patsy and Bill's friends, Brenda and Randy, are on a whirlwind trip through a small portion of the southwest and stopped in to see them for a couple of nights. They generously shared some of their time with them with the rest of us. After Happy Hour at the Suite we all headed over to Silly Al's for dinner/pizza.

From the Left: Randy, Patsy, Bill, and Brenda.

George and Suzie

This group was, I think, posing for George when I snapped it.
Patsy and Bill in the front. Ann is behind.
Brenda on the left and Len in the background.

I missed getting a picture of Paul and Ann so I copied this off of Patsy's Blog.
Thanks Patsy.

                             

The last little bit of today's light coming up behind the mountains.

We took a ride over by Scaddan Wash this evening.

Tonight's sunset.

Clouds to the south with just a touch of pink.

A Saguaro and the last of tonight's light.
Two sights we never get tired of seeing.

Some more beautifully colored pink clouds off to the Southeast.

The light color at the base of the mountains is the dust in the air
this evening as we head back into Quartzsite. Dust is part of being in
the desert but over by Scaddon Wash there is a lot of traffic on a sandy road
so the dust is pretty thick in the air.

Tonight's Happy Hour. Starting on the left: George, Tom's chair, Jim, Patsy, Bill,
Sharon, Suzie, and myself.
Jim and Sharon are longtime friends of Suzie and George's and stopped
in for a short visit.   

Tonight's sunset.

Our "neighborhood" in  tonight's afterglow.

Closing one of our shades I noticed the color had intensified and was
able to catch this picture from the doorway.

We are enjoying our days and hope you can say the same.

Bead Shopping, Abandoned Building, and A Desert Ride Home

(Clicking on the pictures will open them larger in a new window.)

Wednesday, March 3, 2017

The biggest shock today was realizing it was March 1st the time is flying by way to fast! 

I wanted to stop at Hardies Beads and Jewelry, I have a couple of beading projects to complete and needed some beads and stuff. So we headed into Quartzsite. Hardies has a good selection of beads and supplies and since, I am fairly new to the hobby the fact that they are so helpful is a nice bonus. 

Our next stop was to check out an abandoned building we had seen from the road yesterday driving over to visit with some friends. We were curious and wanted to get a closer look. Now that we have the Jeep we could which is kind of fun. Side note: we love the Stinger B and being able to get out on some back roads with the Jeep is so much fun.

This building is in a nice location with great views of the Dome Rock Mountains and Granite Mountain. 

Next we picked up a few groceries and filled our water jugs. Then we went in search of a road that would take us from Quartzsite through the desert over to Plomosa Road. I could see it on the map but with no street or road names listed it was pretty much guess work. Once we found what looked like a likely candidate we started down knowing if we were headed North or Northeast we would intersect with Plomosa Road. We did see a sign saying it was a primitive road but except for a couple of areas of loose gravel and rocks coming up out of some of the deeper washes it really was a fairly smooth ride. Though, I will say we did go up and down quite a few washes, a few fairly steep but most pretty shallow, along the way.  

For the most part this is what the road
looked like. 

Looking down one of the washes..

Plomosa Mountains in the distance.

We are fairly new to off roading and see
these signs all the time. Can anyone tell
us where we can pick up information or
a map with the numbers on it?

Tom took the pictures of tonight's sunset.

Looking towards the east we could see some pink.

It was a wonderful day filled with just enjoying our time here. We hope you enjoyed a special day, also.

Enjoy Life Now

This is Not a Rehearsal!
