2017 09-16 Palo Verde to Quartzsite

The sunrise bathed the sky and silhouetted the mountains with gorgeous shades of reds and yellows. Relaxing the soul is important on these long hot days and this was a very nice way to start today’s otherwise uneventful ride. 

Arriving into Quartzsite before noon allowed ample time to relax.  Another day where the locals told us how lucky we are that we did not come a week earlier when it was 15 degrees warmer.  The temperature today was in the upper 90s, I am very happy to have missed the 115 degree days. 

A few of us took advantage of the extra time and went to the Readers Oasis Books store.  Not to buy books but to see first hand the world famous owner, Paul Winer who is a talented musician composing all the songs he plays.  But perhaps more than his musical talents, people come to see his work attire.  This 74 year old man wears a cowboy hat, sandals and one sock to work.   His clothing cost is one of the lowest of anybody I know.  You have to see for yourself – check out my pictures.
