A Month in a Minivan: Day 21

February 23, 2018February 23, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 2 Comments

Quartzsite will always be my first “desert love” because of the RTR and the WRTR,  but I have to tell you all - if you draw a 100-mile circle around that quirky little town, there is a whole world to discover in this part of Arizona - all vastly different from Quartzsite, and uniquely beautiful. … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 21

Sat in the sun and sipped, lazy as a hot desert day. The temperatures here in Quartzite are in the 80’s right now, so it becomes quite hot quickly. I start with two layers on waking and am naked by nine. I … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 4

A Month in a Minivan: Day 2

I wake up naturally when the sun crests the horizon. Although I have window covers, I rarely use them in the desert. I like looking outside at night, and I have lots of space around me. Even though the moonlight sometimes keeps me up, I am fascinated by the strange blue light it casts in … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 2
