There’s a billboard in town that says if you haven’t been to Silly Al’s Pizza, you haven’t been to Quartzsite. I really have to agree, because Silly Al’s has some of the best pizza I have ever had. Therefore, we ate there- not once, but twice- and I had to talk myself out of going a third time. That’s impressive for me, since I only eat pizza a few times a year. 
Once we left the La Posa South camping area, we went to the other side of town, in the desert off of Plomosa Rd., where we stayed for about a week, hanging out with Julie and Mike.
In between the beautiful nightly sunsets, we found time to do……well, honestly, not much. We had several campfires and some great meals together.
Finally though, having been to Silly Al’s twice, it was time to leave Quartzsite behind. Doing that is more work than you would think, because the desert dust and dirt gets into everything. Once we had better electricity in Parker, I ran the vacuum for what seemed like hours. While I did that, Paul washed the outside of the rig. Oh wait, no he didn’t. He paid someone else to wash the rig.
Naturally, Mike followed suit. Here’s Mike’s rig getting washed. See Paul and Mike on the right side of the picture? Here’s a close up:
I can’t blame them- it’s so cheap to get the trailer washed here that it would be tough to find a reason to do it yourself.
Several of our friends from Quartzsite are also here in Parker for the week, and a few of us will head up to Lake Havasu next week for the Fireworks competition. In the meantime, we are hoping to put the boat in the water, since we are 100 feet from the Colorado River.
Sure hope the guys didn't hurt themselves watching the rig get washed. Supervising can really be tough.
ReplyDeleteI think we actually ate at Silly Al's 3 times. We had our rig washed too. Sometimes it's just better to let the pros do it.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of having someone else clean your rigs here in Emerald Cove is having them bringing their own water. The water here is so hard, you can't dry it fast enough to prevent the hard water spots. We will be getting ours done next week.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed everything about our trip west this fall except the dust on seemingly every surface of the coach.
ReplyDeleteWe really miss that group and Silly Al's. Maybe next year will be our year to get out there again.
ReplyDeleteI think the first thing we did after leaving the Q was wash our motor home also. It was so nice to live clean again.
Every rig wash needs at least one supervisor, right?
ReplyDeleteYou will continue to find dust hidden in drawers, cracks, etc. But it is all worth it!
