Happy After Thanksgiving Quartzsite

Posted by on November 27, 2015

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Even when boondocking in the desert around Quartzsite, a wonderful meal with lots of companions is still possible with a little creativity and old fashioned skills. Follow it with a good campfire and that is my idea of Heaven on Earth. This year I discovered I didn’t have to buy a whole turkey and try to squeeze it into my limited freezer space then deal with leftovers forever. I bought just turkey legs instead. They defrosted much quicker and provide enough for one dinner and lunch. Yay! Much easier for me and it was very cheap too. I’m a happy camper!

After seeing the videos of Black Friday shopping today, I am very glad I am far away from the big stores. I used to love Black Friday but today it has become too violent and ridiculous. I’ll stick to online shopping from the safety of my computer chair.

If you have recovered from your turkey daze by tomorrow, there are a few things going on in the Q. Santa’s Workshop starts Saturday through Sunday and is always good for some early Christmas shopping. Also on Saturday, the Quartzsite Chamber of Commerce has their Small Shop Saturday event. You may want to start thinking about whether you want to run up to Havasu next Friday or Saturday for the Annual Boat Parade of Lights. It’s a beautiful tradition that is on its 33rd edition. There will be up to 50 boats brightly decorated for the holidays passing under London Bridge and on display at the nearby resort. Contained bonfires on the beach are allowed (see link) and free parking is available at the English Village. Bring your warm clothing , hot chocolate, and someone to snuggle and share it with.
