Quartzsite, Arizona



We came down to Ehrenberg Tuesday, staying at the Colorado River Oasis RV. We go up to Quartzsite (12 minutes) and have been looking around the Main Event, Tyson Wells and all the mammoth sales areas in the town. It's the 43rd Annual Pow Wow and Gem Show known to be the largest rock and gem event in the world. There are more than 400 booths which fill the nine acre showground. It's a small town year round but it is said the 4 million snowbirds flock here at this time. There are lot of characters here. The camel beside Ron is made of old wheel rims. The saguaro cactus behind him is very old, as you can see by it's huge size. It got so big that the tops were cut off. Ron's sitting behind 2 locals on the main drag.
