Quartzsite, Arizona is a VERY interesting life. People come in their camping rigs and tents to camp in the desert. Most of the people come to live because it is WARM and CHEAP to live. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages land for the benefit of all and the need for warm weather camping was apparent YEARS ago. Long and short term permits along with free camping for 14 days in most BLM land give this area a rise in population September to April. In the summer the weather reaches well over 100 degrees and only travelers using I-10 or 95 stop by Quartzsite.

The people are varied – mostly the rig or the tent is what tells us apart. Our life stories seem similar. People wanting to find a path in life that supports financially, spiritually, emotionally and physically wants & needs.

The desert is amazing. Sunsets are awesome and last night’s moon rise was a friggin miracle showing me the move to a new campground is a great path! Coyotes howling in the night. Chilly when the sun isn’t shining.

Through my RV forums I have met a few folks out here in the desert. I am currently camping with Esther Rose a fellow nomad. We are pooling our resources – she has a dog and a gun and loves to cook.

I think I will stay here through Christmas. A new way to celebrate! My camping companion is Jewish so we can create our own celebrations. Hell we celebrate each morning with a cup of tea and a bright hello!

I have several appointments the first week in January so I will be back to Denver. Hugs dear friends and family!
