Sid picked us up at 8:30a.m. and we drove to Quartzsite(1.5 hours away). We spent the day shopping around the big RV tents,vendors and RV dealers. Thousands of RVers boondocking(dry camping) in the desert is a amazing thing to see. We played cards after arriving back at 6 pm.

We had pancakes and sausage at the resort breakfast and played shuffleboard until noon.
In the afternoon we drove 20 miles west to the Algodones sand dunes. We walked barefoot
up the mountains of sand and at times got sandblasted because of the wind. We stopped at the Peanut Patch and enjoyed homemade ice cream. We bought peanuts and homemade
peanut butter. In the evening we went ot the Karaode Superstar Contest.

77 Deg. F and sunny. After playing shuffleboard we relaxed and read around the pool. The Palms Resort is a beautiful facility with large RV sites and lots of amenities. In the evening we went to the concert "Three Faces of The King" (Elvis). There were 3 Elvis impersonators--- the music was fantastic and by far the best concert so far.
