Traveling in the Desert

All in all Road to California was a very good show.  Just not as wonderful as last year.  It would be helpful if the economy is California would improve.  But it is what it is and there is very little we can do to change it.  The show ended.  It took four hours to inventory, pack and load the trailer.  Unfortunately there is no easy way to do it.  We are not a single product booth and we travel to more than one show and we don’t think it is right to take it home for someone else to count.

We are traveling again.  Monday morning Patricia got to sleep in.  We started out about 10 AM and drove out on Interstate 10.  We ate lunch at Desert Center a tiny spot on the road with 125 people.  Most of the remaining buildings are empty.  It has not changed in 40 years except to get smaller.  Then it was off to Blyth, CA.  It is a small agricultural community on the Colorado River. 

We did our laundry, caught up on email and sent some instructions to the office.  Late in the day we got a quick rain storm.  Check out the photograph on my Facebook page or Quilter’s Rule’s Facebook page.  I have no idea why it loaded the way it did but is turned out better than the original which was pretty cool.  Today we will travel a short distance to Quartzite, AZ to a huge flea market in the desert, than late in the day we will end up in Phoenix.  Tomorrow we set up at the Rusty Barn Show in Phoenix.
