Ehrenberg, Parker and Quartzsite, AZ

Ehrenberg is on the Colorado River at the Arizona/California border.  We stayed in Ehrenberg at the Colorado River Oasis RV Park.  The Pioneer Cemetery was right across the street.

One day we to Parker which is also on the Colorado River at the Arizona/California.  Outside of town is a Colorado River Indian Tribes (C.R.I.T) Casino which also includes an indoor waterpark and a 6 screen movie theater.

 



 

 

 

Quartzsite is a town with a population of about 3,500 people. Not much here, but we did explore the town.  What's hard to imagine is that every January, according to the Arizona Highway Department, as many as 750,000 to 1,000,000 people, mostly in RV’s, converge on this sleepy little desert town for the rock, gem and mineral shows, plus numerous flea markets. 

  

 

 

 

 

  

Celia's Rainbow Garden is the result of a community working together to make a child's dream come true.  The garden was inspired by the dreams of Celia Winer, an 8 year old girl whose goal in life was to make the world a better place.  Celia was a happy, bright and sensitive little girl who loved everyone.  She died on October 25, 1994 from a viral heart infection.
