Our Trip to Quartzsite, AZ
Happy February! It’s been an awesome few weeks down here in the Arizona desert. In between working with new clients, my husband and I found time to attend “Quartzsite RV Show” a few weeks ago. If you saw the movie “Nomadland” this should ring a bell.
Every January, as many as 750,000 to 1,000,000 people (mostly in RV’s) converge on the sleepy little desert town of Quartzsite, located just 20 miles east of the California border on Interstate 10, for the rock, gem, and mineral shows and numerous flea markets. The main attraction, though, is the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show. This phenomenon started over 40 years ago and is now billed as “The Largest Gathering Of RVers in the World.”
It was certainly a trip, and we learned a lot about being full-time RVers, saw a band play, and Jeff ate some awesome food (Being vegan, I always bring my own food).
As a photographer, these types of events are so much fun. Beyond the extravaganza of hundreds of thousands of RVs all in one place, the people watching are amazing. I could have wandered around and just taken photos all day every day.
