Quartzite AZ

We are in Quartzsite AZ, the Rock and Gem capital of the world.  They have a Gem and Rock show here in January that draws 250,000 RVers.  We finally left Palmdale yesterday at 11:00 after much difficulty with the brake lights on  the tow dolly.  Very frustrating.  We finally decided to leave anyway and after a couple of jolts, everything worked perfectly.  Go figure.  We came through San Bernadino and Palm Springs on Interstate 10.  Lots of desert scenery and distant Mountains.  Crossed the Colorado River and arrived in Quartzsite about 4:00.  Just in time for a walk, dinner and another walk to the Dairy Queen (which just negated all the walks - oh well).  We are going to do a little Geocaching this morning and then head to Goodyear AZ, which is just outside of Phoenix, where we plan to stop for a couple of days.  Supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow.
