Thanks for all the replies. Since we're not into rocks, swapmeets, flea markets, desert, solar panel and no shade, I'll give you a blast on our Hadleys as we pass on through.

Y'all take care and travel safely.

NOTHING!
Was there for three days this year and I will say it is not worth it!
Any flea market in the southwest during that time of year will be just as good. Try the one in Yuma.

We are all different, is that not great???? I have been to quartsite several times when no one was in sight, except in the town "center". We enjoy the desert and we also enjoy mountains and the ocean. Our country is blessed with plenty of both for us all to enjoy. You add the country to our north and south, no need for airplanes & ocean flights. When we return from Alaska last of the summer we will be boon docking the desert....

Take Care

This was the original idea behind gathering at Quartzsite, rock hounds! I haven't been to it in years but I can imagine it is nothing more than a flea market now days.

In todays world, visiting Q is the "in thing" to do. For many years, it was and continues to be the Free parking that entices us frugal rvers.
You either like it or hate it, aint no in between it seems.
