QUARTZSITE
ARIZONA
Quartzsite may be the snowbird
capital of the world, and the town
has been a rockhound's dream since
the 1960s. Quartzsite has indeed
become a mecca to well over a mil-
lion visitors during the town's annual
shows and swap meets in January
and February. From its humble begin-
nings the now-massive Quartzsite
show has grown to RV-epic propor-
tions, with vendors offering every-
thing from a Navajo rug to a new
turbo-charged RV engine.
Admission is free as is camping
on the nearby government lands,
where RVers claim a bit of dusty
desert soil for their very own.
Quartzsite gets HOT in the summer
and folks are scarce when the tem-
peratures top 110 degrees.
In the winter though, when the
town of a few thousand permanent
residents swells to hundreds of
thousands at a time (most in RVs),
the temperature is typically mild
with sunny skies, so if you show up
bring shorts and suntan lotion.

Quartzsite shows and events go to
