Wrapping up Quartzsite

Time to wrap it up and put it away. We've been gone from Quartzsite for awhile now, but the memories are still fresh in our mind. And in our habits.

We've moved back into the 'stick-built', but the routine of the motorhome is still at hand. Literally. When I plug in the hair dryer I think about which other appliances are also plugged in so not to blow a 30 amp fuse. When I start the microwave I stop to think about the amount of power I'm pulling so not to blow a fuse. Although we ran the generator while in the motorhouse, giving us 50 amps, I still was able to blow the fuse on the generator, and at least once blew the fuse on the inverter.

And being on limited water usage while boondocking, I'm still being very strict with myself about not running the water except as needed. And flushing the toilet with the foot pedal had become a habit. How silly do we feel when we reach for the pedal and it's not there?!?!

After the RV show had zipped up the tent flaps, we went into Tyson Wells and walked around. There were a few die-hards still selling, but it was like a ghost town where the swap meet vendors had once been hawking their goods. Once the customers had cleared out, the vendors were movin' on. If you click on the photo of the pink bus, you'll see the message on it's back end. "That's all folks"
