Where are Cheryl and Dennis?: March 2021

March 2021 – Quartzsite, Las Vegas and Laughlin

The first week in March we spent boondocking on BLM land north of Quatzsite. We rendezvoused with our friends Tim and Kathy Steward in Picacho and they followed us to Quartzsite. The RV and rock shows were all done but there were still some vendors in Quartzsite so we visited the market a few times. Kathy's birthday was on the 22 so we celebrated both of our birthdays by going out for pizza at Silly Al's in Quartzsite. We found out a few of our Quartzsite/Escapee friends were boondocking just over the mountain closer to Boise. One day we drove there and spent a few hours visiting. We were especially happy to hook up with Jill Iteen. Jill and Ed are our Escapee adoptive parents. Ed passed away last year but Jill has continued her traveling.

We found out from Jill they were giving Covid Vaccinations in Quartzsite. Dennis went in and got his and inquired if I would be able to get one since I did not meet the state age requirement. They were giving them to anyone that came in so I got one too! We will get our booster when we get back to Wisconsin.

We also received a visit from Steve and Li Bubb. They live in Wisconsin and winter in Yuma at Fortuna De Oro. It was extremely windy that day. We tried to visit outside in the screen tent but the wind was so strong the tent started collapsing. We ended up taking it down and continued our visit in the camper.

Tim and Kathy left Quartzsite on Friday and were heading to Luke Air Force Base RV Park near Phoenix. We left on Saturday and traveled up to Las Vegas. We spent two weeks at Arizona Charlie's Casino and RV Park. The weather was pretty nice and it was a great location to see some of the Las Vegas attractions. Unfortunately many of the free attractions in Vegas were closed because of Covid but despite this there was still lots to see and do.
