Day 9 ~ Quartzsite again

Today the wind came up and the skys were cloudy. It is pretty chilly with the wind across the desert.
We headed to town and went to the Celia Memorial Garden. The previously mentioned bookstore owner had a daughter who died at age 8 from a heart ailment. In her memory, the town built a memorial rock garden. Other families have added their own memorials to loved ones on the multi-acre site. Paths wander along the many rock arrangements where we also found a variety of desert plants and cactus.
We next returned to the bookstore and talked with Celia's father Paul. Because of the chill in the air, he was wearing his shirt. Before our picture he apologized that it was just too cold to go without it.

After lunch, we decided we should also check out the town's real estate. We are always looking for an opportunity and we definitely found it here! As soon as we finish negotiations we will send you our new address!

Chig spent a good part of yesterday and today replacing the RV water pump. Curt was very helpful but today the new pump quit working. Chig & Curt rushed back to the RV sale and caught the salesman as he was packing up. The second new pump is now installed and working! Tomorrow morning we are off to Yuma.
