We have been spending all or a good part of the winter in Bouse (about 25 miles from Q) for the last ten years.
When we first started coming here,Plomosa Road (intersects 95 north of Q) had a lot of rigs parked on the BLM land by the second week in December. Less than 30 last week when I drove into Q.
The Palo Verde cafe is closed and the building is for sale. A counter person at RV Lifestyles told me this the slowest they have seen it in seven years. They are hoping for a big influx of folks in January. There are signs up at RV parks in Q advertising $1000 for the season and one saying $179 per month. I don't recall seeing that in past years.
The RV park we stay in only has about 1/4 as many RVs as they usually do by this time.
I sure hope it really picks up in January.
