I have been taking pictures of various things as they catch my eye. I stepped out my door last week only to see that we had been marked....as in X marks the spot. I guess the fly boys out of Edwards Airforce Base were practicing their sky writing.
Camels tie into much of Quartzsite's history. You will find various images all over town. This one has been around for many years and was just recently given a new paint job. Yes it is made up of car wheels.
Another unusual RV was found parked at Tyson Wells show ground. It is made of a huge redwood log. Signs on it declare it was 1900 years old when cut down and was 267 feet tall the base was 14 feet across. This was the fourth log to be cut from the tree.
The interior is all hand crafted from the tree's redwood.
This is a close-up of the exterior showing the bark and the banding for support. Notice the burl.
And then....there is the loved and cared for antique....
I fell for these morrocan lamps displayed at a booth but managed to walk away without one.
The Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR) met up in the Dome Rock area for a 14 day gathering. It is an informal group of folk who live and travel in recreational vehicles from vans and small trailers to motor homes. This man entertained one evening after dinner.
When the wind was calm there were nightly campfires to sit around and share tales.
An evening view of Quartzsite looking north-east from Dome Rock.
It seems that the sunsets try to be better every evening.
