It’s time to start thinking about our 2 months in Quartzsite AZ. (By the way, if you’re interested in learning more about Q, click here: http://www.roadtripamerica.com/rv/Quartzsite.htm)
There is only one small grocery store there so some stocking up will be necessary. With a very small frig and freezer, most of the stocking up will be pantry-type items. The nearest full-sized grocery story is in Blythe CA about 25 miles away and a couple more in Parker AZ about 30 miles away.
Nights will be cooler than we’ve had so far so we’ll be tweaking this and that. For example: a warm bathmat, that Karma won’t be interested in eating, for those barefoot trips in the middle of the night.
We’ll need to dig out some warmer clothes than we’ve been wearing for the past 5 months (hard to believe it’s been that long) - nights can get into the mid-30’s in Quartzsite and, on occasion, drop below freezing!
And we need to stock up on books again. There’s been no substitute anywhere for our favorite used book store in Anchorage (Titlewave Books). We’ve gathered a few here and there at thrift stores but “pickins’ are slim”. I am so resistant to paying full price for new books.
(I do have a few book recommendations for anyone interested: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig, and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen . Just thought I’d throw that in - Boots)
