Hanging Out in the Desert


After the Dance Rally in Wickenburg, I moved west to Quartzsite. Although I've been here many times before in the January "busy season," I'd never been here before when it wasn't crowded. I LOVED it! Lots of space to park.


While here, I got a 3rd solar panel. It's only 85 watts, but that's all that would fit between the other two. It brings my total wattage to 325 watts. I don't need that much in the summer, but it really helps in the winter.


It was here that I first saw the pink color at sunset. I flew out here in 1998, thinking that I would never get to Quartzsite otherwise.

I was still working long hours during tax season.


From Quartzsite, I moved down to Yuma to join the WINs for their Christmas/New Years celebration.


You would think I'd have some pictures besides sunsets, but the sunsets here have been pretty spectacular lately! I'll try to do better in the coming week.

  1. Your sunsets are beautiful. I'd be happy to look st dozens of them. Who did your solar install? Did they put on the original panels??

  2. The third panel I added last summer has proven to be a very good idea. No tilting has been needed yet even in some light shade. I am ready for some desert but it is another three weeks away.

  5. I've done just the opposite - this is my 3rd year here at Quartzsite, but I've missed the big tent the first two. I'm planning to be here for the excitement this year. Enjoy the peace and quiet for now! Merry Christmas, Diana. :)

  6. With sunsets like that no surprise you can't resist taking photographs of them.

  7. The one thing I miss at my site this year at Anahuac are the sunsets. Buildings in the way. :(

  9. The sunset photos are wonderful. Not sure if I'll make it to the Q this year; I really don't like crowds. Hanging out in NM for now. Take care.
