AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on TH-cam are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!
We stayed in Quartzsite,AZ all last winter at the Long Term Visitors Area in La Posa South. You can stay there from Sept. 15 until April 15th ( 7 months ) for a total of $180. That price comes with free use of the dump station to dump your black and grey tanks , free water station to fill your RV's fresh water tanks , and dumpsters for your trash.
We drove to Parker, Arizona ( 35 mile easy flat ride ) every 2 weeks to WalMart for our groceries. We enjoyed our stay in Quartzsite and we met a lot of new friends who we still stay in contact with.
Quartzsite is what you make of it.
JT
I think the community is the main draw, so staying in the long term visitor area probably helps you meet more people.
Amazing place to make life long friendships
Very well said period.
@@kristymichael probably??? No, U will meet fellow travelers.
Thanks for that info. I'm headed there for the first time ever to boondock at the beginning of February. Planning to stay in LTVA for the reasons you stated. Nice to know there is a WalMart just 35 miles away in Parker.
You guys aren’t old enough to enjoy Quartzite. My parent went there every January with their RV until they hit 80 yrs old. They’d spend two weeks, doing nothing but drinking and socializing with friends, selling their home canned goods and homemade wind chimes. Then, they drove to Mexico for cheaper prescription drugs and dental work. You guys have a few years to go, before being that easily entertained.
never have been there, but soon as i retire this Tennessee boy is headed there for the winter. i got 4 more years to go full time RV, so im building my rig now. (its 98% done) yall be safe !!!
...live here...winter paradise on earth...
Look at Yuma, Arizona. Hot in the summer, but lovely winter's. Heavily agriculture, and people you would like.
Remember to pick up a SxS. (We have his & hers Can Ams) They are legal for road use in most western states. Fun way to explore and get around.
Quartzsite is a right of passage that "ALL" RV'ers must do at least once in their lifetime. It is American as could be and ONLY in America 🇺🇸 will you see such an event. Where else could you find so much (whether needed or not) in such a small location.
Been there, done that and don’t care to do it again. I spend most of my winters out in the desert, but Quartzite is nothing but a drive by. It’s to each their own kinda thing.
Been there and done that. It's a dusty miserable place. Why anyone would want to winter there is beyond me. There are far to many nicer places to go. Only good thing I can say is that its cheap and the town caters to the RV community.
I see both sides. However, Christy gets the nod. Worthwhile if u passing through in the winter for a few days. Definitely some characters there. Not very scenic for a desert. Great if u have an offroad rig.
We have stayed at Mountain Quail RV Park several times. In fact, we are here now. Yes. Do not go out of your way to stay here. We like the RV Show and travel to Walmart in Parker, AZ. Or we go to Blythe, CA. to shop. The weather here is in the 75 -40 range now. It’s fine for us as “full timers”. This park is quiet and has many things to do. No road noise at all. $460-420 per month + electric. (That’s the minimum stay. 30 days. ) So we have not a lot of in and out neighbors. The markets are good for a few quick items, but we stock up in the other two towns previously mentioned....
I'm in Tumbleweed Rv Park. Cheapest rent in town. $200/mo plus electric. Full hook ups. They also have boondocking area for $75/mo. It has a dumping station and hot showers. Love it here!
Horrible dust and allergies. And don't get valley fever, bad for dogs too.
Favorite comment “Some Golf Cart Guy”
I’ve been going to Quartzsite for about 10 years or so and love it. Of course, we meet up with many friends there especially south on Hwy 95 at the BLM “Road Runner” with all the ham radio people. In fact, I should be there next week.....Russell D.
No mosquitos
I think it is great to do a RV shakedown trip. You can test your boondocking skills and not be far away from supplies.
Had the theme from “Green Acres” goin’ through my head at the end.
🤣 you might be slightly right! I like boondocking, but I really like having a good grocery/supply store within 30 minutes.
Perhaps tan acres....... 😁
Was that the one with the flies?
About Kristie's Quartzite affliction: in desert areas, there is a disease called Valley Fever, exhibiting symptoms much like the flu (NOT COVID-19!) It is caused by an inhaled fungus that exists and thrives in desert sand/dirt. It causes symptoms such as you described. Also, sadly, it lives on in your system once you "host" it, and can re-occur, or cause other related illnesses. It is similar to mononucleosis (ok, I'm old...that was something everybody had in the 50s-60s). My husband, who went to school in Ft. Worth for two years had it and suffers return bouts. I went to school and lived in Tucson for 10 years and never had it. I'm sorry it found a home with Kristie.
Quartzsite's a guy thing - you gotta go. Within 1 1/2 hours you have Yuma, Algodones Mexico, Blythe, Parker and Lake Havasu.
Kristie.....you kept reminding of someone but, I couldn't quite place it. Hours later, it came to me. You remind me of the actress Cathy Lee Crosby. I have a memory like a steel trap, its just sometimes that it takes me hours to figure out how to open it. Lol.
Everything there either Sticks ya, Stings ya, Bites ya, or Pricks Ya!!! Was there on a 4 th of July 122 Degrees F. Visiting Family. It’s not HELL but you can see it from there.
Duhhh, never visit in July!!!!
I plan to start spending my winters in Quartzite starting next winter (2021 - 2022) at the BLM LTVA (Long Term Visitors Area). I have already installed an 800 amp hour Battleborn lithium battery bank and Victron 3000 watt inverter/charger in my new four seasons type 35ft 5th wheel. Hoping to install 1800 watts of solar panels later this year in preparation for full time boondocking year round. I already have a pair of 3400 watt Champion duel fuel (propane and gas) generators which can be linked together for a full 50 amps of power for the ACs if needed. There is a propane bottle rack mounted in the bed of my Ford F450 pickup that holds 4 bottles of propane to run the generators and as backup propane for the furnace if needed. I carry the generators in a receiver hitch cargo rack on the back of the 5th wheel. With a 60 gallon fresh water bladder and a 30 gallon blackwater tote tank I can strap into the bed of my truck I won't have to move my rig for months at a time. I love being as off grid as possible and having redundant sources of power. I also love being outdoors and , yes, I'm a bit introverted. Not a big crowd/city person here. Always lived in very rural areas and love to hunt and fish. Soooo looking forward to retiring in the next couple of years and spending my winters in a warmer climate. Wish I was in Quartzite right now !!
We are here in Quartzsite as well! Got here yesterday, we're off Plamosa Rd. again ; spent last January here at the RTR and the vibe is so different! Love the land but the pandemic has certainly put a damper on things. Hope you're enjoying it!
How is it different. Our whole 3county area has changed. It was always ignorant, but it seemed "Christian." But i discovered between politics and covid that we live in radicalville! It is so hateful now and only about 1/4 wear masks. They bully people who do. Many are vigilantes and would be happy to shoot you if they don't believe your way. We are leaving asap , but maybe it is that way everywhere? I just pray for real that it gets better.
The trouble with nude camping - EVERYBODY is nude. (shiver)!
Hello how are you doing today?
Also AZ is one of a few states that will allow Off Road vehicles on the paved roads as long as they are street legal. Most states won't allow them on the road.
Had to watch this and see if your drone has been flying over my camp
I am headed out there in a few days. It will be my 5th time. I agree everyone should at least do it once ! LOL It's ok and there are some nice people there.
See ya there! Going there on the 16th for the first time.
@@shawnmeyer2788 that's great Shawn, just to be able to get outside will be awesome. I think will be staying in a park, of course we will be practicing SD. No reservations, no plans , could end up Boondocking. We will be in Beastie Boy and Mini Me. Have fun and meet some great people. dd
I've been there and honestly, it smelled worse than any place else I've ever been. The amount of poop (literally) on the ground was absolutely disgusting.
I live in Arizona. I would rather stick a fork in my heart than have to be in Quartzsite. Although, there is a naked Bookshop owner. The town you can't remember in California is Blyth. Quartzsite is a very popular gem locator.
Naked bookshop guy died and someone with clothes on bought it.
@@wildheartwanders Oh that's too bad, he was the only interesting person there.
I like southern Alabama best. Very moderate winter. So I travel in the summer and then come home for the winter. Someday we may try Quartzsite for the experience. Maybe next year when we are returning form Washington and Oregon. Thanks for you vids. Been watching for years. Also saw you passing thru Dothan a few years ago.
Have to agree with Christie. Been to Quatsite a couple of times. We prefer Imperial Dam LTVA beautiful lake and resourvour. 5 dump and 5 water stations no waiting. Cheap CA mph ping for 6 months. Yuma also has great grocery stores and restaraunts.
Quartzsite.....you should stay over the magic circle....not bad....
I went to Quartzsite in 2019 went to RV show an the big tent stayed in an RV park right across the street from the little grocery store didn’t ride my ATV but I’m planning on going back and taking it with me and seeing the trails.I injury watching your trips & Tips on TH-cam.😀👍🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸
I'm with Christie Q is not my jam.....spent 14 days a LaPosa South and enjoyed it but we departed before the crowds arrived. We enjoyed our off road riding and the peace and quiet but not a place I would want to spend 180 days for sure! We prefer the Foothills in Yuma AZ which is about a 30 minute ride from Q. Nice video!
Magic Circle ...La Posa south for the nude area...and Valley fever is the dust issue they have down there...can be bad for certain people...read about it...Im an off road rider...I prefer Lake Havasu for blm/state camping and amenities. Plus they have a race track and stores!!
I think it’s just an “it’s OK” spot..even the RV show did not impress me...more places with NON RV stuff than RV stuff....lots of jewelry and things...I really thought there would be more....
I have not been there yet but want to go in January for Quartzfest however my social coordinator does not like to boondock.
@T Rex La-z-Daz is a no thrill full hookup " inexpensive park"
La Posa North, LTVA, way in the back us a sign, the let's you know you are coming up on Clothing Optional area. It is a great place to camp. It is like the south of France in Nice. Nobody cares. It is really a great feeling to feel free and nobody judges. Always carry a beach towel for when you sit. Don't stare or act inappropriately and have fun. That is pretty much it. You should try it.
I left Quartzite a couple of weeks ago. It’s ok too far from Parker. I’d rather stay in Earp California just over the Colorado river. Now Yuma is beautiful and close to town.
Happy camping, keep safe.
Hmmmmm I wonder if the Red Rock NV Dust is off the same Quartzsite Grunge sick formula. We came back no covid positive test but our Dr said both your allergy tests are off the chart. Sean I would give it a couple day try. Kristy my wife is in your court. Said that is why 10 keeps ya going right by it.
I take my Kayak and go fishing in the Colorado River in Ehrenburg. Great striped bass, smallies, and panfish. Nothing like smoked or pan fried fresh fish for dinner. If I have a killer day I usually have a fish fry. Though it stresses me out with the activity. Few hits of bourbon though, boda bing. I am good.
Quartzsite rocks ... The wife and I have a 28' ATC toy hauler.. doesn't matter where we're heading out to our RZR rallies on the West coast from Jersey.. either going to coming back, Quartzsite is a no doubt stop for us.
Gotta love the border patrol with their heat sensors.. The detected me, the wife and the two pits a half a mile away from their roadside check point.
You guys are great ... keep those vids coming ...
Valley Fever is VERY REAL and can have life long lasting effects on you or your animals lungs. I was there a month and hated it!!
I was in Quartzite two winters ago. I parked about 10 miles north of town. The sunsets were beautiful. The RV show was okay, but nothing spectacular. One interesting thing I attended was a Canadian breakfast. I’m sure there isn’t one this year with the border being closed. Another interesting thing was Nellies Bar outside of Parker. FYI the nude librarian unfortunately passed away last winter. Just thought you might want to know.
Have not been to Quartzsite Arizona yet I really want to go I heard a lot about it I am from Michigan 🤣🤣 hopefully be full-time retired in one year and that’s the first place I was going to head thanks for the video 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👍
Heard there's the RTR and the WRTR meetups near there mid-January. And The Big Tent was event for outdoor tourism hiring. But not sure any event was still on with the pandemic stretching into another year. But like you say a long 36 hour drive from South Carolina...
you need to check out plamosa rd.5 miles nouth of town on 95 . much less dust. there's less noise and dust.
I heard that lots of people go there, but why, i could not figure out. I love trees and ferns...but that means wet weather. I suppose, except for dust, the desert is the safest place if not too hot. Cannot imagine going for a walk in a dead ole desert with atvs zooming around. The dust has a lot of silica...not good for the lungs. though. We are in NE Washington and the dust is terrible almost year around because they sand the roads when it snows. My lungs are bad after 20 years of it! Once the ice is gone, the sandy dirty dust isn't! We want to full time on the West side with lest dust, but more cars and planes! There are not too many places to boon dock...or RV, except private trailer/rv parkss, which are expensive and full. If we go full time, we want a comfortable 5th wheel to live in, and it is extra hard to find something that can accommodate a 40' trailer, No clue how to resolve it, but i am working on it. Thanks for this. I really wondered what the draw is. Might be worth it to find a fifth wheel.
When I think of desert, I think of the desert in Big Bend National Park. The Quartzsite desert just looks overly used and worn. The added noise from 4 wheelers and other toys along with all the dust kicked up by those toys would make me look elsewhere. For some, RV'ing involves getting away from people, not go to an area where they are more compacted together.
Going to Arizona for the month of November. Probably will only go over from Lake Havasu just to do some off-road motorcycle, but no stay there.
I have been there and if you love cold and Isulation then you may like it....as for me....I will spend my winters in Florida.
Blythe is the city right across the border in California. There is a Smart & Final and Albertson's there. A good place load up on groceries. But don't buy gas in Blythe. Its a lot cheaper in AZ. Keep your face covered if you are going to be around the off road vehicles. Valley Fever is a problem there.
We liked it, but it was two days at a FHU Campground. Do not think we would go out of the way to visit again, but it did make an interesting stop over. Not a lot there. Even the Yacht Club did not catch our eye. We did try ice cream. We did like the folks who ran Quail Run Park. Rather be in some other places, but it does offer a draw for some. Thanks for the review.
Okay Sean, you have to learn a couple of chords to your Campfire Question song. It's easy. Lol
Been there.....done that! Not for everyone! I agree that if you go there for a get together; like Escapees or Rving Women it is ok. A short term visit for most....I will not hurry back. Do not like the rv service available there....do not like the restaurants or grocery stores. Poor selections and poor parking at most businesses!
Agree with you 100%. A couple weeks of doing nothing and being away from civilization is a great thing. More than that, is not so great. Going up on the river towards Havasu is more scenic and better in my opinion.
I agree with both of you, what you’ve said. Quartzsite is all of those things. I don’t think you could find a place in America that’s cheaper to live in the winter. It is starting to attract a homeless population. I think part of the charm of being in this part of Arizona is the remoteness. You forgot to mention that people pan for gold in the quartzsite area. Oh, I didn’t know there were nudists in Quartzsite!
It cant be too bad if a lot go back year after year after year. The long term fee of $180 for 7 months would be worth it to me to park a lot closer to the water and dump station. Not that I would stay for 7 months though. My only fear would be when I took my rig to get dumped and filled with water, that when I come back to the site, someone moved in....That would suck!!!!
We have not gone, but have considered it. I appreciate the raw honesty. For first timers, do you think the LTVA would be better than boondocking out alone somewhere? How long would each of you recommend a couple stay who is escaping the cold of Colorado?
she is right...don't drive hours out of your way to go there.....2 days is enough b4 dust kills u and your RV
Got to Yuma back in 1964. One word: HOT. Wait - A nudist camp, a McDonalds - Hey, I'm in.
I would leave it! If you go to the Main Street laundromat, I had multiple dryers going but a very rude Karen decided to loudly tell me not to park the cart in front of the dryers! Karen even had to point out the sign! The thing is I did not leave the cart there and leave!
Can anyone just ask nicely, instead of all treating us like leper’s! Sorry if I pay and get in the way!
I also help and give to usually those who need it!
I would find alternative places!
Quartzsite is the RV SWAP MEET EXTRAVAGANZA. If you want it, there will be someone selling it. For many of us it is a social time to meet and converse with people you have not seen for months. If you need something for your RV there will be someone here selling and or installing what you need at a discounted price. Plus, lets not forget SOLAR. QUARTZSITE is possibly a solar sales location for anyone searching for help, equipment, or just questions.
This was great. I relate to Sean and Christy. The ladies like scenic and amenities. Guys are great getting off grid. 7 months full time I missed the visiting with other campers due to Covid. Don’t think this is on my radar. 50,000 miles so far but will skip this.
Quartzsite is ok but not a desired destination. The biggest reason I’m here is because there is family property in Q mountain
If you're gay, Rainbow RV does an event there in non pandemic years lots of fun, usually during the RV show!
I would not make Quartzsite a main destination as it will take over $800 in diesel one way from where I live in Florida. It is a trip for longer time away from home base, say three to four months.
Sounds like an 2021 version of Green Acres......
Do you have a video on how and with what you load your pick up bed? I see you have a tonneau cover with rails on top to carry your additional storage. How does it all piece together? What do carry in the bed vs the storage container? I have a 25 ft airstream also and am having trouble figuring out how to carry all I want to carry.
based on this video i'm not sure there will ever be a need for us to go there, we live in florida and for us it is a 2,200 mile drive, we have 42 parks with full hook up in florida we can stay at with our thousand trails membership
I think I would try it because I like to try different things and go places that might be good or bad just to say Me and wife Nancy, been there and done that because we both like to go off the road and see special things or scenery.
I’m here in Quartzsite now. I think the trick is not camping close to everyone else or by the roads where the ATVs are. I’m camped in a cool spot. Also lots of people are gathering and not wearing masks or social distancing. Which I think puts lots of people at risk. But I like the place now that I’m camped far away from the Maddening crowd.
Yep...eh, it's ok might be pushing it unless you have an off road toy, then I get it.
I'm on BLM land in the oatman area no people just foxes and coyotes nice and quiet quartzite is getting to regulated for my taste oh yeah don't forget the wild Burrows
We really gather to be with friends we hadn't seen in a while. We all travel Grand Tetons, Utah hell all over, but we love to meet up with our traveling community at this time!!! There is a sense of community out here!! For U guys that are new, please be apart of our groups. U will learn soooo much and U will probably meet others to travel with until U get comfortable traveling on your own. Please join on Facebook Meet in Q and start from there. Arizona is a very spiritual place and one can feel the ancient Native Americans
never have been there, but soon as i can i wood try it i live in IN. it is cold here .i have lived in bullhead AZ. HOT
I was on the fence until I heard about the nudist colony... Now it's a big thumbs up!!! Lol
We have stayed at Quartzite it is okay for the RV show and the amateur radio meet. Per the Chamber of Commerce the RV show is going to happen this January. However we prefer to stay at Imperial Dam LTVA. Your 20 minutes from Yuma which has just about anything you need. You can also get a day pass for the Army base. (Even if you never served) Limited supplies unless you are active duty or retired from duty. The LTVA permit let's you camp at any of the LTVA's in Arizona and California. $180.00 for 7 months and you don't have to keep changing location every 2 weeks. As you stated there are a number of free areas. However you not allowed to use the dump stations, water and trash dumpster without a permit. Thanks for all the great videos 👍. Yep we are currently wintering at Imperial Dam LTVA.
I enjoy your channel your information he sense of humor and your positive energy. Can you use a generator out there at Quartzsite
I thought maybe it would be prettier, as some deserts are. I’m with Christie, not my bag. Especially with the Interstate and a bunch of folks reviving their ATVs ......I would love scenic and off grid.
Sean - an Ovation? That investment suggests some musical skill. It would be interesting to hear you play something less dissonant.
It's okay and you forgot the casino that is about 30 minutes away and you also forgot the desert saloon you should go see only open on weekends from 11:00 to 6:00
Spent last winter in Quartzite and loved it ,went to Parker to shop and Blyth California for lunch , Yuma and Alamogordo Mexico to shop yea I would be back this winter if not for Covid maybe next winter , I’m with you Shawn lol 💕🙏💕
After many years of RV travel we finally made it to Quartzsite in January 2020. We stayed for only one week and had a great time. We look forward to returning. Like others have said it is an RV rite of passage. :)
Great point. RV rite of passage for sure! Glad you had a good time.
I laughed so hard when you showed all of the liquor and you said, "you will need it". Living in Lake Havasu City for 14 years, I am done with the desert. I use to visit Quartzsite once a year. I do not miss it.
Wow that’s about the most lively I’ve seen Sean and Christy.
I was thinking the same thing. They were both on a roll making some good wisecracks!
Lol...
They are usually pretty lively, maybe because there was a slight conflict...
I like their brand of humor and sarcasm.
Oh yeah, see their New Orleans Mardi Gras episode.
I may be getting old, but I think there’s a lot more bad naked than there is good naked.😉
Quartzsite definitely not for everyone, we'll be there for 5 or 6 days just to take the jeep out & maybe visit the desert bar. Prefer the mountains myself.
Instead of going to Blythe, go to parker, az to get groceries. You can stay for free for 2 weeks in parker too. I love quartzsite.
Is Blythe closer to Quartzite, than Parker? From the looks of the map, it looks closer, so why not make a shorter trip to a Walmart and go to Blythe instead of Parker. That is if Blythe has a Walmart. Just wondering.
@@dougwheeler1265 yes , Blythe is closer than parker. I dont know if blythe has a Walmart, but they should have a Safeway or Albertsons. Prices will be higher in blythe, mainly because of taxes. The reason I would choose parker over blythe is because of blm land around parker, basically leave your spot in quartzsite (after 2 weeks), go dump, go to parker, go to wm, then find a spot on blm in parker. Two weeks later reverse it and get groceries at wm, then return to quartzsite. You can do the same in blythe, there is blm land there too. Either will work. Just my preference.
There is also the ltva (long term visitor area)in quartzsite , you pay a fee but you get trash dump etc.
Due to Covid there is no camping currently in Parker. Lighted signs everywhere
And no Walmart in Blythe
@@LifeWithMikeandMJ I haven't there since april, there was then. That sucks! Stupid covid.
I'll pass on Q. Florida and Disney is my preference.
It's ok. If passing through -Overnight maybe - 2 nights at most. RV show - do it at least once - don't go out of your way. Your right - if you are a group you are likely to stay longer.
We passed through it last year (one night). No good reason to go back.
I spend my winters in Quartzsite. You two drive me crazy! You are having the wrong experiences. Which general region are you living? I’d enjoy visiting with you.
We just stopped for a few nights back in December. We stayed near Dome Rock.
I had a tie tax made out of turquoise stone that was so beautiful. The colors, design was awesome. Unfortunately it got “borrowed” and has disappeared forever. If you see it, ask them where they got it. If they say “I found it” please shoot them. 🤣
Like it.... Does anyone know of a SouthEast version of Quartzsite?
I agree with Mrs Long Long Honeymoon. Way too ugly of a spot for me.
I've enjoyed your humor many times but when you were trying to drink that beer with the mask on, I lost it. Hope to meet yall some day.
During the winter, there is a discount food tent. They have a lot of great things cheap. It is in with the other vendor tents.
They went all the way to the moon to collect rocks. Quartzsite is right around the corner.
I do love boondocking so I'm a fan of the Q. It's quite unique in the desert and I love the low humidity, milder winter temps, gorgeous sunsets and the stars, omg, and tons of camping. What's not to love? A Walmart would do well I think, and maybe a Sax 5th Avenue for you Kristy (lol, jk). The nudists need their places as well, not my thing either. Love the Colorado River though. Happy camping friends!
The main draw for Snowbirds to get away from the cold......This year now warm weather hasn't arrived n it's cold. Time to go further south!
It’s on my list not my bucket list but just on my list and it may happen in the next couple of weeks we have got to go somewhere. Thomyt
We are south of Tucson. Was thinking of going that way, but I've seen a few TH-camrs say it's windy and dusty. Wife already has breathing problems, so I think it's a no for us. No fans of the crowds. We will be heading back to the U.P. of Michigan (lol) for some good old fashion winter. Our current location has been Great. Just retired and looking forward to some more big adventures, but Quartzsite probably won't be one of them. You guys are great. Happy New Year and safe travels.
Yes, the Colorado river valley will generate the winds - be prepared for strong gusts at any time. And, it can get below freezing on many nights.
