April 19, 2009 - arrived in Salome, AZ after lunch and spent the rest of the day setting up and getting settled in. We had our choice of places to be and we decided on the very end so we could have a view of the desert. LOL Salome is in the heart of the Arizona desert and is surrounded by mountains.
April 20, 2009 – we ventured out to find milk and found one little place called “John’s” that has a little bit of everything from shoe laces to liquors. They have a butcher shop in the back and someone to cut your meat if you so desire. Also found a place to get a haircut and believe me, I need one badly.
We also went to see if “Ingredients” was still open and it is and the same people own and run it. It is only open for coffee in the morning and sandwiches at lunch but the atmosphere is what attracted us to it in the first place. Plan to go back and have lunch there before we leave.
April 21, 2009 – Today, we decided to go to Quartzsite which is about 35 miles away. They have a huge gem show and the population increases from about 4,000 to 150,000 during January/February. People dry-dock in the desert and it is actually wall to wall people and RV’s. There are still a few places open this time of year and I found some red glass beads for my sister at very reasonable prices. Also found a couple of frogs for my “Frog Crossing” in Rockport.
Temperature is showing 103 degrees so far today. Thank goodness for air conditioning as it is only 83 inside the motor home.
