Quartzfest - Day 6

But wait, you say, what happened to days 4 and 5? Well ... we had two days of strong winds, upwards of 30 mph gusts ... some antennas came down, there was dust kicking up, and everyone hunkered down in their respective RVs. We played cards, we did 350-piece puzzles, we drank heavily! Hot chocolate, okay?

Yesterday was a perfect day, 65 deg, no wind, and the girls headed back to the flea market while I shopped the big tent for replacement LED bulbs ... on sale, for a change, $2 each for good quality bulbs.


I'm guessing the flea market covers about 5 acres of space (or more?), and serves up just about everything you would expect to find, even hot, cinnamon rolls (yum) ... plus much more!

A few pictures of the participants follow. I called for a group photo, wives included, but no one wanted to venture out into the cold this morning. Even Rian, our GrandDog had to bundle up:





And, of course, your author with ham license plates. Note, Louise's call is the plate on our bus; my call shows up on the Jeep tow vehicle.


Today, except for saying goodbyes to people heading out, there isn't much planned. I'm going to the Welcome Tent for the closing ceremonies, raffle tickets in-hand, looking to win the "big prize", whatever that may be.

Another sky-scape I have to include, showing a bit of the beauty of this place. Christie took this picture with her cellphone ... It appears the mountains behind those in the foreground are a shadow, rather than a different range. Pretty cool!


So, that's about it for this post. We will stay tonight, then head to Lake Havasu City tomorrow for a couple nights. There is an Italian family-owned restaurant with our reservation already in place for Monday night.

So, stay tuned ... for more travel notes and pictures.
