Quartzsite Excessive Heat "Sizzle" - Drive Around Town

[@jesscarey7666]

I always enjoy the Quartzsite drive- throughs!!!

[@bruceh3786]

Me too!

[@RogerThat1851]

Love my town in the summer and all year around!

[@williamfriend8529]

We have been really interested in this past few months of videos. Every video except for a few on the coast reminded us of 30 years ago. It has been a real treat to see the changes that have occured in that time period, thanks for the memories!

[@margaretdesrosiers7421]

I love your trips it gets me really familiar with the whole area and I don't feel like a stranger !

[@baruchbobo9993]

Nice, plan to stop thru this winter, thank!

[@tudywittlake1072]

Cant wait to come back for the winter.

[@kurtglo]

I'll stay in Michigan where it's a beautiful 72 degrees. Yes, we have snow in the winter, but winter makes you appreciate summer and summer makes you appreciate winter. Love the four seasons and the Great Lakes.

[@kurtglo]

Whoops, I forgot to mention; thank you so much Russ for the wonderful videos. You are a professional and I appreciate you taking the time filming these trips. I cannot travel because of my disability, so the next best thing is RVer tv. God bless!

[@oxtuckian]

being in Indiana, ..I'll never appreciate Winter lol

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

Virginia is an awesome state to enjoy the four seasons.

[@kurtglo]

@@oxtuckian You can always dress for winter, but you cannot undress for summer without going to jail. Hmm

[@azmark1956]

Az has 2 seasons, Hot as hell, and cold, but not 20 minus in winter--lol, good luck

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Very enjoyable Russ. Interesting "driving" through your home town. I'm looking forward to future videos.

[@drljnkns]

Thanks, nice to look around town.

[@kimiaartista6242]

Interesting to see. I have passed Quartzite Arizona on the interstate coming back from California. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Glad your there and I'm here. 77* outside and light clouds. Have a great holiday. Happy trails.

[@orangefield3171]

I also live in Arizona and your friends are right the monsoon season has been a dud! It actually hasn’t been too bad of a summer temperature wise. I’m good with temps under 110, over 110 is when I start to complain!😂🥵

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

@Lizzie Beth … how about 120 with 98% humidity? Experienced that many times while working in the Caribbean. At least, we could jump into the sea to cool off.

[@orangefield3171]

ScubaStevee62 Oh no my friend that I could not do. High humidity is really rough on me. Jumping in the ocean sounds pretty good though.😉

[@susanstrickland6774]

Welcome home! Nice to see the ole familiar again too. Really enjoyed the Summer Series. Still have a couple to watch. Lots of great sites. Thanks for taking us along. 😊👍

[@ftkinsella]

Great to go on a long trip but it’s always nice to come home. Take it easy Russ. Cheers!!!

[@dkneuer]

Loved all your videos so far! Have you really driven in Colorado on US 24 west from Colorado Springs. Pottery house there was an old engine house of the Colorado Midland rail road. Victor is very quaint as well. My parents had land in South Park 1980-92. Lots of history there from the early gold mine days.

[@stampdealer]

It would be cool to take that same drone shot "in season" and then put it side by side with this one to see the difference.

[@jimderksen1653]

If you go back about 8 months in his videos he does put the drone up in the busy season.

[@mlroice8017]

We pass thru Quartzite every winter, but usually stay in Brenda to escape the crowds. We always roam around Quartzite during our stay, so maybe we'll run into you somewhere this winter. Safe travels, have really enjoyed travel series this summer. Waiting to see where your travels take you next!

[@mindylinsdau6072]

Love these ride alongs. Especially now that I've been there. It's fun to see all the places we were at when we were there last Jan 2019. We met you at the Tyson Wells store. You were doing a meet & greet. Looking forward to our trip there for the 2020 RV show. See you then!

[@steveseiler8782]

two things i picked up one you left the shed open second you had the roads almost to your self except for the heat that is my kind of town cheers

[@RogerThat1851]

Welcome home Russ! Bunny

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

Bunny...are you his hunny? 😚😚😁

[@americanrvtraveler2446]

I guess 106*dry heat is hot but not like we have in FL with the humidity 100% and temps at 95*.

[@azmark1956]

For sure!. Im in florida from az. This humidity--omg, i"ll take that southwest heat any day

[@denisemartin2758]

Thank you for sharing. We were missing home. But I must say the 80 degrees is really nice here in Colorado. See you soon Russ!!

[@jonmacdonald5345]

The Series continues! Keep on Trucking good sir!

[@RogerThat1851]

It has been a fun sizzling summer here in the Q!!! Lollll Bunny

[@WaltANelsonPHD]

Thanks for te tour of Quartzite. Always wanted to live in AZ. The Q seems a likely place.

[@jesscarey7666]

Nice work Russ!!

[@shellyrusek8035]

Awesome video and aerial view. Glad you are back in Q. See you SOON.

[@robertfrisbee]

Hope to see you there in January, great video.

[@comradejakobe1564]

Yep. It's the fall series

[@judyabernathy80]

Always like to ride through Quartzsite. Such an interesting little town. You sound happy to be back, as well. Glad you are back, but sorry for those great videos of this beautiful country to end. 💔💔🐾💔🐾💔🐾💔🐾💔

[@chuckarnold7894]

Welcome home.

[@leann4925]

Russ now that your back there do you stay in the motor home and keep cool inside that building. If a person built a very well insulated building with a few windows insulated and had the correct amount of solar that place would not be that bad. I bet at night the place is rocking. At least the city comes alive during the winter. On you next adventure like the 2019 summer one do you plan to take the motor home. I am sure it would take more in full than the van. Glad to see you were able to enjoy a cool ride. Take care.

[@redhead5876]

You are a great driver, I think you would be good to hire for driving

[@guymanges3628]

50 years ago was there any thing there .? Is this where all the air streams were ? Please

[@oxtuckian]

hi Russ, welcome home! 🖐 call me a weirdo, but I don't think I could live where there's no trees. 🕶 ;)

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

I'm a weirdo too...No grass or flowers or trees...nope...I'd wilt.

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Looks like one giant parking lot to me, no offense but in the summer it’s like a frying pan , can’t even touch the hood of your car

[@bosse641]

So empty. ....almost frightening to see ;-)

[@annanne3929]

Hey Russ! Do you know if Quiet Times will be opening this year? There was talk about retiring last year. Thank you for the info and see you around town

[@sandratessem9980]

I'm waving

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🖐🖐🖐🖐

[@RogerThat1851]

Nope no rain!

[@laytonhaese7888]

so what's the next plan as far as transportation... the RV or the Van... maybe something else?

[@BobKeefe]

Hi Russ, well, we've come full-circle with you. We started following your adventures last fall when you were showing Quartzsite starting to ramp up, and you're the first video we've watched every evening since then. We're wondering: You show the business side of Quartzsite, but since that's currently empty, would you show some of the residential areas? Thanks!

[@cvross1]

How much water evaporated from the buckets you left on the motor home?

[@hoosiernick]

Hey Russ, I tried buying you a coffee, but the robot filter must have thought that I was bogus. The transaction never processed. Am I good for a rain check?

[@ICU8-12]

👍👍

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

It was 62* this morning, have had to use a light cover to take chill off last few nights. Gas @ $2.29 gal. Enjoyed seeing the quiet side of Quartzite. Keep cool!

[@larrynmarks]

Who/what is Tyson Wells??

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

@larrynmarks … it's an area in Quartzsite and also the name of an RV Park.

[@mfb3042]

An area where vendors with their tents come from all over the country. Stores and the public come to shop, most from California and Arizona. They sell all kinds of rocks, minerals, salt lamps, jewelry, souvenirs, clothing, you name it. January gets busy. Then in February many head down to the Tucson gem show.

[@oldtex1940]

You didn't mention some of the best pizza you can eat... Silly Al's. Great place!

[@albing1397]

Not seeing any hotels or resorts. Only RVers?

[@bruceh3786]

I was hoping for a summer Quartzite drive around. Thanks! The gas price at the in town Chevron of $2.77 is less than Phoenix of about$2.89. Parker sounds like the real deal. It will be interesting to find out who is moving into the old Beal's Outlet store. Looks like Sweet Darlene's is still for sale.

[@gsp49]

$2.49 in Tallahassee. Other end of I-10.

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

2.11 in central Virginia

[@gsp49]

@@TheVintageBumbleBee Tallahassee has a five cent per gallon sidewalk tax, best sidewalks in the nation. People making big bucks just sitting around trying to figure out what to do with all that sidewalk money, if you complain about a crack or uneven pavement, a dozen people will be looking at it the next day, and repaired by the end of the week.

This is city built out of RVers, The AC business must be something else. Thank you Russ

Russ what’s the normal year-round cost to stay at one of those RV parks

You forgot to mention “ Mary’s” restaurant!

[@comradejakobe1564]

Russ, you got to miss the bed in the RV

[@juliyasboyfriend4103]

I will get there eventually lol. Can you answer a simple question about the rv parks? I plan to get there in the summer time so I am going to rent a space with power for AC but I was wondering if there are any age restrictions of your rv etc like everywhere else? I'd guess no since I kinda doubt they aren't so picky there... is that correct? Thanks

[@rvertv]

most parks close in summer... try rv parks along main street... they dont care what you have

[@juliyasboyfriend4103]

@@rvertv Thank you. Btw I tried a Google search as "rv parks in quartzite, az" and it gave me a list with websites, etc.... you can get mostly all the rates and so on but not a real view like you do. Thanks again
