There is still plenty of activity over in Quartzsite this week. The desert is still covered with boondockers enjoying the southern winter warmth. Tyson Wells has plenty of traffic and the accompanying parking problems with lots of vendors still onsite. Rice Ranch has thinned out quite a bit. Our friends, Len and Chris Bunts, are over at the front of Rice Ranch along the road and business seems to be going okay for them. If you happen to be around that way, check them out for the best LED light bulbs (I bought several from them), Tire Traker systems, water and waste pumps, and other consignment items.
Gambler’s RV store and K&B Tools are both still open if you need any replacement parts. Don’t forget to check the back building of Gambler’s for used parts at great prices. I got a new control panel for my refrigerator there very cheap and it is working great!
Solar Bill’s and Discount Solar are open and making sales and installations. Solar panels are still inexpensive alternative energy for boondocking and the cost can easily be recouped with the savings from free camping out on BLM land instead of staying in RV parks.
