Goodyear AZ

Left Quartzsite this morning after taking a walk in search of a Geocache, which we found successfully.  Stopped at a Rock shop. This old guy has been in Quartzsite for almost 30 years collecting and selling rocks, and he was a wealth of information.  We got several geodes the old-fashioned way - we bought them.  No hunting in the desert for us.  However, there were a lot of Rv's parked all over the desert collecting rocks. The "Old Guy" said they get a million rock hunters during the winter months from all over the world. Amazing.  After a gas stop where we contributed to the local economy, we departed Quartzsite and after about 100 more miles of  desert scenery, we arrived in Goodyear.   We are staying at the Destiny RV Resort which is just outside of Phoenix.  Most of the winter residents have departed so it is pretty quiet here.  Met  up with Stan and Dominique for dinner.  It was really nice to see them. We plan on spending another day here before movng on.  It's supposed to be 90 degrees tomorrow.
