The Main Event

Friday morning we went into Quartzsite to a large area called "The Main Event". Many acres of vendor booths with everything you can think of for sale. The first place we stopped was located in a metal building. Debbie found small folding scissors - ten for a dollar!

I bought a pair of clip on sun glasses from Bob. They are cut from a blank of material to exactly fit my glasses. Bob is here from Minnesota while his wife had to stay home. He said she has a real job.

After "The Main Event" we left Quartzsite and headed north out of town to meet up with some friends from Concord, Stan and Pat. We did make a stop on the way at a fabric store. They are part of a rally group of 186 motorhomes which are boondocking way out in the desert. We found them with the help of Pat's directions. Stan, who has had some medical challenges, was looking great and in good spirits and we were so glad to find him feeling well. We had a nice visit with them and met some of their friends. They told us about a BBQ stand in the Tyson Wells "Sale A Rama" that made fantastic pulled pork and tri tip and we decided to stop for an early dinner.

We made it to the "Sale A Rama" around 4:30. It's even bigger with over 750 or so vendors. We were too tired to see much of it but did find the BBQ stand and we both had a tri tip dinner. Thanks Stan and Pat you were right on!

Tomorrow we are going up past Parker into the wild to a place called the Desert Bar. You can follow this link to find more about this unique place way out in the middle of no where!
