Judy got up before I did so Lucy got into bed with me, Bailey and Ruby.  Judy found the camera and snapped this photo of her sleeping girls.

Can you spot all three of the girls and I don't count.

Our neighbor in the park was feeding the birds and we were able to enjoy the cutest quail.  It would have been even better had they had babies with them but it's still too early for that.  I love quail!

We drove to Quartzsite, AZ today and it was a much easier drive.  California has the worst roads we've been on.........they REALLY need to invest in some road work but the roads we were on today were better than most.  Also, there wasn't any mountains or white knuckle areas to go over.

Quartzsite, AZ is a BUSY place in Jan and Feb but a lot of the town literally shuts down the end of March.

  A lot of  people do what's called "Boondocking" in the desert on BLM land.  It's totally DRY camping...no water or electric hook-ups and they have to go somewhere to dump their tanks.  The price is right though, FREE.  Judy and I have decided we are more "electronic" campers.

There is an area here in Quartzsite that IS BLM land and does have a dump station and water you can fill your tank with.  On the other end of town, there is another BLM site without those services.
