La Posa West, Quartzsite

This year we stayed in Q for a month, from the middle of February to the middle of March. We purchased a two week permit at La Posa West, one of the LTVA's (Long Term Visitor Areas) and then renewed it for another two. Since we have posted many pictures from here before, there's not much to share here.

At each of the entrance stations to the LTVA they have installed these automatic tracking solar panel systems. We talked with the hosts and they said that they supply the power for the booth as well as their rig. Any excess is sold back to the power company and at night they use back from the grid. That allows them to have solar without the drawbacks of a large battery system.


One of the many hummingbirds that came to our feeder waiting her turn in a creosote bush.


You see all sorts of unusual things here in Q.
