Now and then

The other day I mentioned that I would post some before and current photos of Boomerville. Well, here they are. I took these from the roof of our trailer. The left hand of each pair was taken on Jan 6 just after we arrived at this camp site. The right one of each pair was taken yesterday when we had approx. 160 registered RV's for Boomerville. I tried to match them up as close as I could.
Keep in mind that this is just one small area of the desert around Quartzsite. There are 9 or 10 large areas that for the next couple of weeks will be packed with RV's.
You should be able to click on each photo to load the full sized version.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last night Redlands RV treated the Boomers and a bunch of others to a hosted BBQ at their temporary service facility in town. I am not sure how many were there but I would hazard a guess at between 350 and 450 or so. They served up pulled pork, BBQ brisket I think, beans and corn. There was some BBQ chicken as well but they were out when we got to the front of the line. There was also a full hosted bar which was also nice.
