Changing it up

I’ve lost count of how often I’ve camped around Quartzsite. Most of the time I’ve set up camp at either Scaddan Wash to the east of town or Hi Jolly to the north.

This time I decided to check out the Roadrunner dispersed camping area about eight miles south of town, at the intersection of US-95 and La Paz Valley Road.

I like it. It’s flat, rather smooth and, at this time of year, nearly empty. There’s almost no sound from highway traffic and no neighbors running generators or zooming around on ATVs. That’s hard to beat.
