My off-center sense of humor is at its’ peak when we go to Quartzsite, Arizona. The rock shows are great, but the flea market areas are where the real strange things appear.
We saw a row of vendors where you could buy a box of bananas and get your concealed weapons permit in the next tent, and a strange beer drinking tent, tools, water filters for the RV, LED lights, knife, Bushnell binoculars, a 1950 Dodge Wayfarer parked next to a hot dog stand. By the way, the old rusty Dodge had a 440, and the owner assured me it would get up and go! Enjoy my pictures.
Around the corner is a flea-market type area which we explored. The end of the street had an eccentric eclectic treasure shop called Good Ground Trading Company, motto, “Where the Far East meets the Old West”. Buddha, a large Incredible Hulk model, old signs, glass fishing floats from Japan, oxen yokes, pickup trucks converted into benches, large metal buckets with holes in them, and lots of stuff. Nearby was a stop for custom-made advertising flags, Vermont maple syrup and jelly, old-style metal signs, an old cooking stove, you name it. True to form, Bonnie bought a couple of used books–you can never have too many of those. That vendor was from Paradise, Michigan, so we had to all have a chat.
