Quartzsite, Last Days

Friday: (02/26) Lou fixed breakfast burritos this morning. I caught up with the blog by adding the pictures from the past few days  to these posts:Quartzsite, A Quiet Town, Quartzsite, The Final Days, Quartzsite, Indian Petroglyphs, Grinding Holes, And Water Tank, and Cibola National Wildlife Refuge.

We had some roast chicken for lunch. It was nice outside. We had several different bird visitors including a woodpecker to entertain us during lunch.

Today was a relaxing day in  camp. We returned to the Grubstake Social Club for the Friday Fish Fry. Excellently too much even without seconds. Two pieces of fish about a foot long each with fries and a beer. Perfect meal! The place was packed just like our last visit even though so many people have left town. Must be a popular place.

We topped off the day with another QIA show, The Freddie And Sheila Show. They are a guitar group from Norther Saskatchewan, Canada. Freddie toured with Ferlin Husky and others.His wife, Sheila, accompanies him and has a very nice voice. we have liked all the QIA shows we seen and this was no exception.

Saturday: (02/27) More breakfast burritos this morning. When Lou cooks up this filling, she makes extra. We have another breakfast left. How did people camp without a microwave?

We went over to the General Store market for one last visit. Stocked up on their country sausage and smoked pork chops. We also looked around the Chili Cook-off at Tyson Wells Showground. Most of the chillis looked like then started with canned chilli except for one that was really chunky and used a smoked alder spice. We tasted the spice. Pretty good taste. We didn't stay for the chili. We returned to our campsite and headed after a vist to the sanitary dump. With all our supplies topped off, we hit the road a little before 2pm toward the Yuma area. We turned onto the Imperial Dam Road through the Yuma Proving grounds. Just after crossing into California we turned back North onto the Senator Wash Road.
