    Hi Russ. I never get tired of your spectacular drone shots of the the surrounding terrain. What I find so special of the distant views of Arizona is the craggy mountain horizon. Here in Australia we have nothing like that. If distant mountains are visible they're low and smooth. Geologically worn down.

    I travel from Illinois to Bouse most winters to rockhound along Plomosa Rd. Folks used to live in Bouse several years ago and I first came out to visit in 1997. My Mom was an avid rockhound and loved the area. They're gone but I still love to continue Mom's passion for rockhounding alive. I visit Quartzsite a time or two during the Rock & Gem show, but get gas, groceries, etc. in Parker, as it's cheaper there. Always enjoy your videos of this area, Russ.

    I went out there a few weeks ago and they were working on the power lines in that area. Pretty cool to see helicopters lifting components to those power towers. Elevation is above Quartzite and just high enough to get a lot of chollas and saguaros - really beautiful.

    Did the 95 from Vegas (home 17 yrs.) for the Blythe Bluegrass Festival several times. Watching your "Back in Arizona" and this one from my recliner home in Kentucky. Seriously felt like I was behind the wheel of the Ford Transit. We reminisced over the many stops. Good you did it before the crowds moved in for the Winter. Thanks for the recording. Easy drive this time from the recliner. Great stuff.

    Just a heads up about camping under those high voltage transmission lines: Last year while in Moab, I was camped in an adjacent lot to an RV park. No hookups. While leveling my Class C, upon opening the driver’s side door to get to the automatic levelers, I felt like my fingers had touched an area on the doorknob that felt like metal burrs. It didn’t make sense, so I reached for the doorknob again. I realized I was getting an electrical shock. At the same time, I was holding a metal rod that I use to situate boards under tires if I have a lot of leveling to do, and it was touching the ground. I dropped the rod, then touched the doorknob and no sensation. I was happy about that, but also baffled. My first thought was ‘did I have a hot skin’. Then remembered I was not plugged in to shore power and didn’t even have the inverter on at that point, so it couldn’t be that. No other problems during my 5 day stay. When I got ready to leave, as I approached my toad to hook up, I touched the rear bumper of the RV and got that tingle again. Had to use gloves to get it hooked up. Everything was operating OK, so decided to continue my journey to Congress, AZ, where I could get it checked out. Upon arrival there, no problem at all. So I started investigating. Turns out, those transmissions lines, which can carry upwards of 650kV, can magnetically couple to an RV., causing from a few hundred to several thousand volts. The good side of this is the current is very low, maybe 1mA, so it isn’t dangerous, but sure is uncomfortable. The larger the RV, the more voltage it will develop. Just don’t ground yourself if you want to avoid that sting. I don’t plan to ever camp under those lines again.

    You sound to me like a laid-back Canadian fella. I like the looks of the game store, I've wondered about Quartzite for years having stopped and looked around there in the early 2000's. There was the remains of an airport runway for light planes parallel to the interstate back then - I guess it used to be 'Fly In' too at one time. Quartzite in the winter is said to be a giant swap meet in many ways, the "Alice's Restaurant" of souvenirs, gadgets, and old collectibles including interesting Cars from back when. (they age well in the desert)

    Several years ago my wife and I were on our way from LA to Phoenix to visit relatives when our Chevy Malibu broke down. The people in Quartzite were wonderful; they could have taken advantage but went out of their way to get the needed parts and put the car back on the road. Several of us kept in contact for many years afterward. We stayed at the Yacht Club for a couple of days longer. It is still there 30 years later. Lovely memories there.

    I always enjoy a run around the old town. Kind of where it all started. It's funny I've been driving a Tesla for over four years now basically just purchased it for the performance :-) it's an awesome car around town but kind of a pain in the behind on a road trip. When we first purchased it we had three years of free supercharging which made it very worth the time.

Those clouds in this video are interesting not puffy but just lines of clouds. Last week on my way to TN to visit family, a stone hit my windshield , luckily I don't have to wait 3 weeks to get replaced. It's the 1st time in all my years of driving that this has happened. Must be the year to replace windows.

    I lived year around for 4 years. I loved it there. Even the heat. I do miss being there

    I remember 30 years ago quartcite had a flee market the whole length of the town. From nov to feb. It use to be about 1/2 mile deep, 2 miles long and only 1 lite.

    I'm glad I'm in Havasu Lake where it was quite wet last year and there's more green here and deathly quiet at night, except for the burros and coyotes and the dog barking at them part of the time.
