We’re getting ready for our first “boondocking” adventure…spending the month of January in the SW AZ desert without regular utilities or Costco nearby. [Shudder]
Well, actually, our first two weeks we’ll spend 15 miles from Yuma, AZ, at Imperial Dam Long Term Visitor Area. So we’re working into this slowly. Then two weeks at the big Quartzite gathering, among fellow Escapee fulltimers.
Which means laying in a month of food and other supplies, to avoid long trips to town later in the month. Takes some planning, particularly given limited storage. We expect to share our living room with cases of bottled water. They better behave when we entertain.
Thinking about battery capacity, techniques to reduce the fresh to waste water cycle, cooking cleanly. Stuff they didn’t teach us in college.
The adventure continues.

Hey, you don't really have to stock up with a month's worth of groceries for Quartzsite! The General Store has a great fresh meat market and limited groceries; the Roadrunner, just a bit west of the General Store on the same side of Main Street, has quite a large inventory of regular grocery items. Plus (in years past, anyway), there is a fresh fruit and veggie stand across the street from the main Post Office. You can get just about anything you need in the way of groceries in Quartzsite unless it's something exotic. (Stay away from the Big Store on the other, west, end of town...canned goods might be OK, but check expiration dates!)
