We have a couple more days left on our second two week pass but highs in the mid 90s are a bit much.  Plus, we have been to Silly Al’s for pizza so we can declare this year’s stay official and complete.   It is time to start north; just as far as Lake Havasu City for now.

Quartzsite deserves a bit of a summary.  People are friendly, sunsets and sunrises are often beautiful,  the wind can and does really blow, beautiful creative rock art is scattered among sites,  there is a great 3 mile walking trail, the Magic Circle, around the clothing optional section, and there are a few birds to watch and listen to along the washes (ash throated flycatchers, black throated sparrows, white crowned sparrows, doves, and occasional vultures and ravens).  I was thrilled that a hummingbird finally found my water bowl but seems he never told any of his friends.  No others visited the bowl even though we saw them daily as they checked out our orange window sticker…almost the same color as a hummingbird favorite, ocotillo blooms!
