Friends Jerry and Donna and Jim and Judy from our ATV club in Florence are in
Quartzsite for a few days and came by to visit yesterday. They asked if I could show them around today. Why, certainly! I put together a 26 mile loop of trails I was
mostly familiar with plus a few that I was sure I could incorporate in. Jerry and Donna were the only two to make it today as the other two were concerned it might be too dusty for them. I did the mountain part of my route in the reverse
direction from what I did the other day as I thought it would make a better
trip. I did take one wrong turn and
ended up a dead end draw but, hey, the scenery was great. I was going to have our lunch stop at the
Deere Run B&B, pictured in the last blog post, but there 17 Jeeps already
there and it was noisy and crowded. It
was a powder puff Jeep rally so all lady drivers but most did have a man riding
with them. We moved a little down the
road and had a very peaceful spot for our lunch. We stopped at a couple of stone cabins on our
way home then at a viewpoint for Jerry to get some pictures looking over
Quartzsite.
Yesterday, we headed a little east and met Kim and Don who
are camping with fellow Escapee members on the other side of the camping area
from us. Their link is on the side of my
blog as http://kanddintherv.blogspot.com
Kim and Don are from northern BC, but
summer in the Shuswap near Salmon Arm, our home base. They are a friendly couple and we had a great
time chatting. They have invited us to
their Escapees Spring rally and we hope to be able to join them in Merritt for
it.
Jim and I did an afternoon of geocaching off to the south
and west of camp on Saturday. I took another
turn around the RV show this afternoon and it wasn’t as crowded so more
relaxing. I found a couple small things
that were on my list.
It was a wonderful visit and no, we had nothing planned for the morning anyway!!!! WE are so looking forward to getting back together again and spending more time. Would love to see you in Merritt. Give us an email around end April!!!!!!
