Sue, Fr. John and George

We have finally settled down at Quartzsite, AZ.  We spent Jan. 12 - 17 with the Escapees Chpt. 37 group.  We parked on BLM land  (Bureau of Land Management) with no hook-ups and generator hours from 6 am - 10 pm.  What a lot of fun the Escapee people were.  We made new friends, saw some old ones, ate and played games.  The evenings were cold but we had a nice campfire to warm us.  The sky was so clear that we we able to see the space station with the naked eye.  It was fascinating to watch it fly overhead so quickly.  I got a picture of it (just a white dot in the black sky) but it interesting to think that human beings were living up there.  I also photographed some fantastic sunset pictures.

On Monday we said our good byes and started down the road (AZ 95) towards town.  We had much to do: dump black water, get fresh water and do our laundry.  Even on the road you still have lots of mundane chores to do.  Afterwards we decided to find a place in the BLM area closer to the Big Tent in town, where the Rock and Gem show was and the upcoming RV show would be held.  We paid $40 again for the priviledge of parking in the dessert for 14 days completely off the grid.  We had made friends with a very nice couple, Don and Mary Lou Case, whom we had met at the Rose Parade HOP.  We found out that they were Catholic and knew where the local church was.  They graciously offered us a ride in their car,to Sacred Heart Mission church to attend Saturday night Eucharist services.  Deacon Leonel Bejarano, from Mexico, did a wonderful job of conducting the Eucharistic service on Saturday night.

We have spent the last few days looking at Gems (read that as rocks) from around the world.   Lapidarist (Expert on precious stones and the art of cutting and engraving them.) come from all over the world to this small city of Quartzsite to purchase gems for carving and making jewelry.  They purchase stones by the metal drum fulls.  We saw some exquisite amethyst geodes as well as an array of other gemstone geodes.  Along with the Gem show there is the Quartzsite "any thing you can think of" vendors.  Lots of China imports and lots of junk but it is fun to browse all the vendor stalls and pick through their offerings.  We did find the High Spirit flutes and of course I purchased another one, a small G fulte along with a new DVD on playing it. 

We left the comforts of Valencia Village RV park on Thursday morning for parts unknown.  We had 10 days before we were due at our next destination, an Escapee Rally in Quartzsite, AZ.   We decided to visit Joshua Tree National Park.  We had missed seeing this park on other visits out West because it just didn't seem that interesting.  Well were we surprised!!!!   What a fantastic example of natural beauty of the Western US. We drove all through the park and stayed 4 nights at different campsites: Cottonwoods, Jumbo Rock and Indian Cove.  We were enchanted by the Cacti especially the Cholla Cactus Garden and the LARGE bolders of Jumbo Rock campsite. 

 

We treated ourselved to a movie on Saturday and then went to Mass on Sunday at a small church outside of Joshua Tree. Sunday it was on the road again heading East for Quartzsite.  We found a Passport America park, Hidden Valley, on the Colorado river in Blyth, CA with full hook-ups.  This was a treat since we spent the last week boon-docking with no hook-ups.  After 2 nights at Hidden Valley, we started out again, to cross the Colorado river and enter Arizona.  We left Hidden Valley to do some grocery shopping and rested for the night at the local Flying J, continuing on to Quartzsite.

 

On January 5th we went to visit the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum.  This a magnificent memorial to our 40th president.  It includes a covered walkway with murals depicting quotations from his speaches, a library, Air Force 1 (27000), a minature built to scale model of the White House and Reagan's grave site. Unfortunately, we did not have access to the library nor the grave site because they we preparing them for the celebration of Reagan's 100th birthday.  We did however enjoy the tour of Air Force 1, (note the heading photo) and especially the minature White House.  The Christmas trees were just being taken down so we had a chance to see them.  Outside on the grounds was a portion of the Berlin wall tha Reagan said "Tear down this wall" to Gorbachev.   

We attended an Escapee HOP (Head Out Program) with about 60 people.  We stayed at Valencia Village RV park in Castaic, CA during the HOP with very cold weather.  We had an opportunity to work on the Dragon float cutting up flowers and pasting small yellow mums onto the float. 

The second day Sue attended the Band Fest and West Side story.  George unfortunately came down with a cold and wanted to stay in bed to rest up for the parade. 

The following day we saw several floats in their final preparation stages for the parade.  In the afternoon we attended the Equestrian event where all the horses and riders in the parade showed off their skills.  We had a great seat, but it was cold.  We came back to a wonderful catered hot meal.

We enjoyed the New Year celebration with a catered dinner and champagne using the Eastern time zone for midnight. 

Next morning we boarded the bus at 6 AM for our ride to the Rose parade.  Up until this time the night time temperature was 30 degrees or below and daytime got up to about 55.  We were all prepared for the parade with 2 pairs of slacks, long sleeve shirts, fleece sweaters and our outer jackets.  We also had pads to sit on for the cold bleachers and a silver blanket to keep us warm.  After waiting in traffic for about 30 min. we arrived at bleachers 650 on the East side of Colorado Blvd.  With the sun on our backs and 5th row bleacher seats we were very comfortable during the 3 hour parade.  Our seats were perfect for great pictures.  To see the parade in person is far more memorable than to see it on TV.  The vivid colors of the floats, the performing equestrian groups, and the high school and college bands were more exciting than we had expected. Please take time to look at our Rose Parade album.  Afterwards we returned to our bus for the ride back to another catered dinner. 

The next day was Sunday and we attended church at Blessed Kateri and had a breakfast at Teresa's Morning cafe and did a little shopping.  It started to get very cold, rainy and eventually it was snowing.  When it was all said and done we had about 1/2 inch of snow on the ground.  We found out that I-5 was closed in both directions with numerous accidents being reported.  The camp host said it hadn't snowed there since 1994.   Just our luck!!!!!  We made a pine cone cheese appetizer for the evening pot luck supper and enjoyed everyone's company for the last time. 

Monday morning was our hitch-up breakfast and final good-byes.  We stayed at the RV park for another 3 days because of the weather and hid out in SAGORA, keeping warm and just relaxing.
