SECOND POST FROM QUARTZSITE

5 February 2020:  Still out in KOFA the weather has sure changed.  It was really nice and warm when we first got here with hardly any wind.  That sure changed when a cold front that supposedly was born in the Gulf of Alaska came roaring down with wind and very cold temperatures for Arizona.  Glad we brought some down jackets and gloves!  We were enjoying the high 70’s and then the temperature dropped to the mid 50’s for highs!  We have had to run our heater just about every morning for the last 5 days!  The cold weather seems to be behind us now and we are looking forward to warmer temperatures in the 70’s again.  Took one long drive out in KOFA to Red Rock Pass in the wind and cold temperatures for something to do.  The roads out here have not gotten any better.  They are sure rough.

We have hit the big flea market in Quartzsite a couple of times and picked up a few items.  I bought a new camp chair as Zeph has kind of taken over mine.  Of course, with the encouragement of Connie!  Still going for nice walks in the mornings even if we have to wear gloves and coats.  And the sunrises and sunsets here are always a treat and I have tried to document a few.

Our first campsite.

A little sunset color.

Our first site was pretty exposed and with the wind coming we moved to a more protected area.

Cooking a few steaks for supper.

View out our window.

The wind came and so did the dust!!

It made for some great sunrise pictures though.
