QUARTZSITE 2002

This year I decided to keep a journal of my days out here in the desert, selling beads. Meeting all these wonderful people, vendors, customers, great conversations, and beautiful, beautiful sunsets.

I have this split into daily entries, 2 or 3 at a time, sometimes just rambles, sometimes descriptions of people I meet, other times observations. I take photos of the sights and put them up as well.

To lead this life, you must be somewhat of a gypsy. Out here, you feel the gypsy energy, modern day flavor.

December 29, 30 & 31, 2001

The crazy trip out here, and a constant reminder that in life, you must find humor in all that comes your way. It was a long trip, consisting of chaos and many many lessons along the way. Always though, new and exciting.

Ahhhh, here in beautiful Quartzsite...the sunsets are such a treat. The show starts slowly, but the conversations are great! I get to meet rockhound after rockhound, converse with everyone from the young hippie rainbow children to the crusty old men with great hearty laughs and wonderful stories full of humor.
