Day 4 - Tucson, AZ - Thursday 1/29/09 (5)


I'm trying a new technique of keeping my family updated on our travel adventures. Not that we did any travel today, but we did see some new sites. Mainly because I couldn't locate the local Wal-Mart and cause we did some sneak previews of the wholesale rock show.

Here's a photo of the Beaudry's RV Resort ...minus our RV...that we're staying at for two weeks to attend the annual International Gem & Mineral Show in Tucson. A few of the dealers were finished setting up and allowed us to take a peek at what they had to offer. I like the $5,000 wand the best! It was made of diamonds, rubies, and other precious stones on a very high quality quartz crystal surrounded in 14K gold. I LOVED how it felt.

My next favorite would be the unique one-of-a-kind jewelry presented by the artisan himself. Nice man. His craftsmanship was beautiful and I loved how the metal swirled around beautiful gems. Of course I always enjoy the crystal spheres that are as tall as I am...and fortunately much wider. I need to obtain a small camera to share these special pieces.

Oh....and we finally bought a mattress topper for our bed. It took a year, but I'm looking forward to not sleeping on an air mattress nor on springs. I also purchased a thought-provoking journal to assist with daily writing. I risked today.... hey, it is for me.

Good night.

PS for me - Record start of Trip: We started our journey Monday 1/26th from Elk Grove, stayed a night behind the gas station at Newberry Springs off of Hwy 66 & I40 with a few other truckers. Tuesday night I enjoyed the Milky Way from BLM property at Quartzsite and toured the left-over dealers and flea markets. Wednesday late we arrived in Tucson. So far, Quartzsite has been my favorite place to sleep. No noise, no lights, no electrical interference. I felt connected to earth and loved the peace. Dry camping definitely has its benefits. I want to take advantage of the heated pool here to appreciate the amenities of a resort.
