Quartzsite, At Last!

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Nov. 1^st, we entered a new month and a new stage in our trip. We were up by 5:30 (Bill) and Gibbs and I by 6:30. We are anxious to move, yet not too anxious. Our park managers and 2 sets of park hosts are no longer there and they were all good friends. We will really miss them, all for individual reasons, but Patti, as far as we’re concerned, for being the best manager we’ve ever had. ♥

Good morning!

Before leaving Pilot Knob Resort, Gibbs and I
walked the park while Bill dumped tanks.
I thought you might be missing pictures of the little guy.

At least the two of them will be in Quartzsite so we can visit. Anyway, that’s the upset I mentioned. We know the new managers, from our first year AC (after Covid), when we came in to try the park for 2 months. Sue and Fred are good people and we’ll just see how it goes this winter. We made the familiar drive on US-95N and arrived at Park Place RV Park in Quartzsite at 11:50. We set up the basic parts, and stopped for lunch.

The drive up US-95N
Through the Yuma Proving Grounds, is always
a pleasant drive.

Arrival at Quartzsite!

Our friends, Susan and John, had not yet pulled out so we popped back to catch up on the news and see how they fared the hot Arizona summer. Then it was back to work. More for Bill than for me. I had dusted the Suite back in Winterhaven while Bill dumped tanks and checked the air in her tires. Only one needed to be topped up.

John and Susan were packing up
and pulled out mid-afternoon.
It was nice to see them before they left.

The patio mat, Weber Q, chairs, Starlink dish and weather station all got set up and even Gibbs’ water dish and rope placed outside for his comfort. The rope, not so much, but he is very good going on it and it gives him the ability to go to our outdoor space. I wandered over to check out the clubhouse, puzzle space, pool table, library and laundry room. Sue has given me the ok to start a Ladies Poker Pool as well, so I’m happy about that.

My Sweeties, relaxing.

the little sweetheart.
He is starting to feel relaxed too.

She handed me 2 puzzles from Patti. ♥ She bought them for me and they will be challenging and yet a joy to work on. 😊 My puzzle mate, Susan, won’t be here to help now but she (almost hysterically) told me about the 2,000 pc. puzzle waiting for me inside. Oh brother! I don’t know if I’m brave enough to tackle it even though she has separated border pieces and divided the rest into half or quads. LOL

Supper was good.
I stole a few fries from Bill's plate.

Bill got the gazebo up and boy, with the two rv’s behind and to the east of us, it sure looks (& feels) empty. I walked back to take a picture and it hit me that we’re home for the winter – regardless of who or what is around us. We relaxed now that the ‘work’ was done and for supper, we had fish and chips. Rosy air fried the fish, Bill deep fried the chips and I had baked squash. Everything was good, we are good now that we can sit for 5 months. 😊

These are my puzzles from Patti.
I'm going to have fun working on these!
Thanks Patti!
Good night y'all!

After clean up, the rest of the evening was quiet. Some tv kept us entertained until bed time. Tonight, we are 3 hours different than home time but tomorrow night, they will begin to observe standard time and we’ll be back to 2 hours apart. It can be so confusing, the whole DST thing, but it is what it is. We’ve had a great day and we reached 82F/28C here in Quartzsite!

Thank you for stopping by.
