After breakfast we went into Quartzsite for more groceries.  Within a couple of minutes of going into the grocery store Vera was talking to a guy from Washington who had been through the Castle Rock area thousands of times.  She also heard a local say "he has lived here all his life and never seen as many people here before as there was this year for the RV Show".  After we were done shopping we decided to explore a little.
It wasn't long before we ran across two F-4E Phantoms on display at the city park.  Vera said we should try and find the Radio Control field so I called up Google Maps on the phone and asked for the location of the Quartzsite Radio Control Flying field.  Boy were we surprised when it was about a block behind us.  We went up to it and I met some of the members.  They said I was welcome to fly there as long as I was an AMA member.
We went back to the motor home to put things away and I set up the solar panels to charge the batteries for my planes.  I got one set done before we decided to run down and explore some more.
There was no parking at the main vendor area so we found another sale to look around in down the road.  I found a piece of quartz I liked and bought it for a souvenir.  There was no one at the flying field so we headed back until we discovered on Google Maps there was a Dairy Queen a mile and a half up the road.  After picking up a couple of Blizzards we went back to the motor home and I finished charging batteries.

This is West of the motor home, the Ham Fest is going to take place near that flag in the middle of the picture.  You can see the fire pit in the picture of the motor home.
There was another nice sunset today.  This one is also looking West towards the Ham Fest.
