State of the art Quartzsite Internet Cafe

Can you believe this place didn't have 802.11G WiFi or a gigabit backbone?

Lots of Crap in Quartzsite AZ

Do you think this will make it on PBS's Antiques Road Show? I suspect someone from Sothby's hasn't found this rare metal sculpture just yet. I'm convinced it's worth millions.

Quartzsite AZ

For a meer, $895.00 dollars (not pesos, we're not that far south) you can have a life size version of the Duke, in your very own yard! The 10 foot horse, well he was $1495.00

Day 14 - Quartzsite AZ

Not sure who gets the best hat award, but I can assure you, I'm much happier than he looks. Poor old bastard.

Quartzsite AZ - Set up

Set up camp in Quartzite AZ for only 20 bucks a day. Never mind it probably cost 50 bucks in gas to drive here!

Day 13 - Leaving Beaudry RV

"Camping" is over. Now it's time to unhook the sewer line. I hope I got those connections on tight. Nothing like a turd in your face to really bum out your day. No pun intended.

Day 12 - Quick Recap from Beaudry RV as of 2/24

So we headed to Tucson, looked @ the trailer. Here is what has happened over the last few days as a result.

• Rained in Tucson. Rained in trailer. Traded in just purchased Trailer.
• Purchased 2005 Fleetwood 31 foot Class A motorhome, Terra model.
• RV was serviced and prepared for delivery.
• Stayed 3 days here @ the resort in Tucson to shake out the details.
• Headed to Quartzite tomorrow, then to Lake Meade, then home.

I had purchased a new laptop with the hopes of being able to update on the road.

• Couldn't get cellular phone to act as a modem.
• Couldn't get data access @ resort.
• Had to use "common" computer in lobby, occupied by 65+ year olds who are really slow typists.

More details and photos later.

The New Buda Bus

Ready to depart on our first road trip. The Buda Bus outside Beaudry RV resort. Thirty one feet of pure "camping" pleasure.

Missy Kur, posing in the Buda Bus. What a sweet dog!

Day 11 - Buda Bus

Back @ Beaudry RV with our new motor coach. We've named her, Buda Bus, after her home town in Buda Texas. I have no damned clue where that is, so don't ask.

Too Late for the Biosphere

Tried to make it to the Biosphere.....too late. Was Pauley Shore here?

Ouch

Good God that hurt. I think the prize I got for the 8 second ride was I get to keep my gonads

The Dismount

A little tricky on the dismount. I mean I rode that evil beast in short pants and f*cking Teva sandals for christ's sake

8 seconds is all I need

I'm hanging tough on this steely ride. If I can hang on for 8 seconds I get a prize!!!

What the hell?

We've just driven 30 miles of off road on the back side of Mt Lemmon in Tucson and you see the damnest things in nowheresville Arizona while off-roading....Mrs. Dirtbagger is trying to distract the steer, while I prepare my plan.....

Off Roading the backside of Mt Lemmon

Day 9 - Tucson Trip - Four wheeling down the back side of Mt. Lemmon in the awesome Toyota Tundra. Mrs Dirtbagger is wetting her pants, while Mr. Dirtbagger thinks it's great fun. Technically, since it was all downhill, we never even left 2WD.

Road up Mt Lemmon

Day 9 - Tucson Trip - Driving up to Mt Lemmon in Tucson.
