Quartzsite AZ is a popular recreational vehicle camping area for winter visitors with tourism being the major contributor to Quartzsite's economy. The Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, an annual gathering of vandwellers, takes place in January.Nine major gem and mineral shows, and 15 general swap meet shows are very popular tourist attractions, attracting about 1.5 million people annually, mostly during January and February.

Quartzsite is the burial place of Hi Jolly (Hadji Ali), an Ottoman citizen of Greek-Syrian parentage, who took part in the experimental US Camel Corps as a camel driver.

Quartzsite was featured in the book and movie Nomadland.

  1. ...they quarry QUARTZSITE in Crossville, TN.
    ...the Chinese use "Q" more often that we do.
    ...if this pandemic ever ends it will be interesting to look back on all the masks on things.
    ...QUEEN Street in Toronto is a given.
    Thanks Jackie for coming to the party.

  2. You did good with the "Q" words, Jackie. I enjoyed reading of Jolly Al and did read some of the Wikipedia article. We have some camels gone wild who are descendants of the experiment in Texas. I like the Queen art, clever.
