Quartzsite, Az

The worlds biggest parking lot. Every winter this tiny desert town, which usually has a population of around 3600 residents. Gets invaded by an estimated 1.5 million Rvers, which is possibly one of the largest rv gatherings in the world. There are 3 major shows the first and biggest is the Rv show bringing in 750,000 to 1 million people alone, the second is the rock

and gem show. Finally a classic car show, and there is always a large flea market surrounding the events.

What happens when a couple million people descend on a small town, most roads only had stop signs. 

A few shops

Hi Jolly Monument one of the only Historic spots I could find in Quartzsite. (Hi Jolly pics are from public domain)

Close up of the plaque

The Hi Jolly story..... I was a bit disappointed when I realized Hi Jolly was a person not a camel :)

This is 8 miles out into the desert, There were 3 rows of these land yachts the value of one alone would last me a lifetime. 1000's of peeps even out this far.

Still 8 miles out

My camp where I met up with some old friends from years past.

These guys were flying over camp nightly. Maybe a fun way to explore?

Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR)

The Rubber Tramp Rendezvous is a rally of like minded folk who have chosen to dwell in there vehicles either by choice, or circumstance. A group who realize the many benefits of living a mobile lifestyle, that getting rid of there traditional stick and brick homes is way more affordable. Take away your rent, or mortgage payments, property taxes, car payments, and all of your utility
bills......Just take a moment to imagine the savings. One can live very comfortably on very little, also allowing them to get out to travel.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
