Boondocking at Hi Jolly

What a neat day. We left Phoenix in the late morning and drove east on I-10. When we reached the Vicksburg exit, we decided to fill the tanks and found the Zip Travel Stop. The sign read $1.91 for diesel and we were thrilled. But, when we pulled up to the pump, the price for autos and rvs was only $1.85. Wow, wow, wow! We filled the coach tank for less than half of what we paid just two months ago.


Shortly after our stop, we arrived at Quartzsite and headed north on 95. About a mile out of town, we saw some rvs parked in the desert and stopped to check it out. It is the Hi Jolly dispersed camping area. There's tons of room in the desert and the cost is zero, nada, zilch, nothing!



We pulled off the road into the desert and this is the view from our door. There are other rvs but there is so much open space that you hardly notice them.



We are only spending one night here in the desert and I hope we return soon.


Doug was excited to build a campfire. But, it was pretty windy and we decided to save the firewood for another evening.


We watched the sun go down over the hills, fixed some french dip sandwiches for dinner and relaxed.
