Quartzsite, AZ, January 2014

Travel from Home to Quartzsite, AZ
Tue. Jan. 14 - Thur. Jan. 16

We left home on Tuesday headed to Arizona on one of our many trips to the annual Amatuer Radio Quartzfest.  This year we will be able to spend some time with Montana trailer owners at the "Circling of the Montanas" as well. 

The first night out was spent at Edwards AFB Famcamp.  We often stay at this location whenever our destination is in the Southwest.  Here is our campsite as we are preparing to leave and continue on our way to "Q" as it is known.

As we were getting to the border of California and Arizona on Wednesday, near dusk, the almost full moon was rising.  It was very impressive seeing the huge orange disk rising from behind the hills.  Unfortunately, by the time we were able to pull off the freeway, the moon was no longer partially hidden.  It was still very beautiful.
Since it was becoming dark and we did not want to try to find the Montana owners out in the middle of the desert, we stopped for the night about 5 miles before Quartzsite at Dome Rock BLM area.
 
There was no need to disconnect so we just opened up where we were.  This is just before we closed everything for the short ride to the Montana Circle north of town, on Wednesday morning.
