It was a nice, Allan deemed, “stress free drive”, even with the obligatory wait, wait, wait for the pilot vehicle to take our side down the single lane due to construction 🙂




We are driving through Quartzsite. Lots of folks boondock here but it’s famous as the “Rock Capitol of the World.” An ideal destination for rock-hounds and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Trade, buy, or simply view minerals from all over the world, Quartzsite is a perfect winter destination as the year-round warm weather, monuments, and hiking spots brings together many attractions that Arizona is famous for—even if you’re not into rocks. What’s that in Allan’s hand??

Whoops, did a big mistake!! Yuma by-law does not allow charcoal grills!! Having been owners for almost a lifetime we continually forget to check the rules. This may have taught us. Thankfully we broke down and bought a 5qt air fryer from the Target in Yakima. We just couldn’t resist as on line it was $40, while instore $140. What a deal!


Tonight’s dinner! Delicious
Dinner done it’s hot tub time!
