Things To See In Quartzste

Ed has been out taking pictures like crazy.  So I am going to share some of them with you.  There are a lot of rocks here and people are very creative with them.

Sort of like "crop circles" only
with rocks

Someone has a lot of time on their hands

Not sure what this is suppose to be.

Then there are all the ways people camp here.  Some of them are very interesting.  We enjoy seeing all the different ways people camp.

Van camping

T

You see a lot of solar panels

I guess after he bought his vehicle,  all he could
afford was a ten

more tent camping

you see all different kinds of camping

I guess the cardboard is to keep the wind out

a bus

Some are here to stay a while

You see a lot of add on tents

We wondered if these were his and her Johns or maybe
a portable shower

This was downtown, quite an amazing rig



This was loaded in the back

There are also some very nice motor homes

There is a nudist camp here.  Ed was out riding around one morning and came upon it.  He saw one man out but he said he thought it would be rude to take his picture.  Than another time he took me over there to see the artwork on the ground and didn't tell me until later where we were at.  The one man we saw  had his clothes on.  I was thankful for that. haha 

There was a big circle, called the
magic circle and this plus the heart
below was in it

The guy we met said the magic circle had been there 18 years, and
at one time it was the mayor's camping place.

While everyone has been freezing we have had excellent weather her.  It's a little cool in the morning, but the days have been in the high 70's.  We have been loving it. 


We don't get to use the Ranger very often, so when we do, we really enjoy it.  We spent the whole day riding around.  These are the things we found.

large nest

up on top the hill

Just amazing driving around out here

This guy had been flying around and by the time we got
there he was already loaded up

mining hole

another mine, a lot of work stacking those rocks

 

I'm not quite sure how all these got here (or why)
The rock house is in the back, one side was cement.

The time it took to do all this, there was even an upper story

Stone house with the contents, amazing that
the stuff was still there, there was a sign asking
you not to remove anything.

This was in front of the stone house, there was a mound behind
it so I guess he was buried there
He lived here 40 years

Mining shack

home made john, I think they forgot the door

They had set up a regular camp

Proof that flowers do bloom in the desert.

 

Happy Trails.   Ed and Lyn
