Quartzsite is located just 17 miles from the California border at the intersection of I-10 and Hwy. 95. The Quartzsite region is a unique geological area, known for its rocks, gems and minerals. Quartzsite is known as “The Rock Capital of the World.” Each year, thousands of snowbirds return to their favorite “winter nesting site” as vendors and artisans bring their best wares to our small rural community. Everything imaginable can be found in Quartzsite during the winter season. Besides over a thousand vendors each year, Quartzsite is known for its RV and ATV friendly atmosphere. ATV trails lead in all directions from town with beautiful desert scenery along the way. RVers enjoy the warm winters camping in over 60 RV parks and 11,000 acres of BLM Long Term Visitor Area camping, or five 14-day free camping areas. Visitors enjoy the beauty of
6
incredible sunrises and sunsets of the Sonoran Desert. With the influx of RV snowbirds there’s plenty to do all winter long. activities abound during our winter season; including Shopping in Open Air Swap Meets, Gold Mining, Hiking, RV Shows, Classic Car Shows, Fine Art, Quilt and Craft Shows, Special Events, and Daily Music Jams. Additions to our Town Park include the new Community Center, RC Track, and RC Flying Field. Be sure to visit Celia’s Rainbow Gardens, where community volunteers work together in this one-of-a-kind evolving botanical garden.

The Hi Jolly Cemetery is the most visited loca�on in Quartzsite. Arizona’s adventure with camels began in 1855 when Jefferson Davis, then secretary of war and later president of the Confederacy, was sold on the idea of impor�ng camels to build and travel on a wagon road through the Southwest. A buyer was dispatched to the Middle East where he bought 33 then loaded them on a ship modified to accommodate their bulk and sailed to Indianola, Texas. Another batch of 44 of the beasts followed. Authori�es sent to the Middle East for men who spoke camel, and that’s where Hadji Ali comes into the story. The famed camel driver was born Philip Tedro, a Greek born in Syria. He converted to Islam and made a pilgrimage to Mecca, hence his first name, Hadji Ali. He and another camel driver, Yiorgos Caralambo (who came to be called Greek George) were hired to teach the soldiers how to deal with the animals. Soldiers couldn’t pronounce Hadji Ali, and he became known as Hi Jolly. The camels were a great success. They could carry two or
14
three �mes as much as Army mules. They could go without water for much longer than could horses or mules, and most of the desert forage was fine with them. But the Civil War intervened, Jefferson Davis changed jobs, and without his support the project was abandoned. Some of the camels were sold; others escaped into the wild. Hi Jolly bought two of them and operated a freight route between the Colorado River and the mining towns of eastern Arizona for two years. In 1880, he became a U.S. ci�zen, started calling himself Philip Tedro and married Gertrudis Serna of Tucson. When he re�red, he moved to Quartzsite and prospected around the region using a mule. He died in 1902. The camels thrived for a while, but eventually died out. However, as late as the 1930s and 1940s there were unsubstan�ated reports of camels spo�ed in the wild. One story was that of the Red Camel, which roamed the desert with a headless human skeleton on its back. Entrance to Hi Jolly Monument is off Kofa, 1 block north of West Main Street.

Bullhead City to Yuma Connecting 3 Counites: Mohave-La Paz-Yuma The proposed Arizona Peace Trail, is a developing 700-mile trail system for the OHV enthusiast! Whether you have a Quad, Side by Side or a Jeep, the”Arizona Peace Trail” is a great way to take daily rides or planned overnight trips providing information on where to gas up, grab a bite to eat or stay the night throughout Yuma, La Paz and Mohave Counties. At least a dozen regional OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) clubs, in three counties, have participated in the inventory of places to visit throughout the 3 Counties. Their mission is to develop a loop trail system utilizing existing trails and roads in
16
Western Arizona connecting Bullhead City to Yuma and assist the land managers in maintaining the trail system. Work with City, County, State and Federal Agencies to keep the desert roads and trails open for public use. Work on projects for our community, our highways an our public lands. Promote the sport of Off Highway Vehicle(OHV) riding safety, with awareness and respect for the environment. Members are working with agencies to ensure the trail is ecologically sound. The trail uses existing roads and trails. According to J.C. Sanders, chairman of the Arizona Peace Trail Committee the group is hoping to develop a recreational opportunity and develop areas for camping and preparation so that people can go on longer trips. July 20,2015 The La Paz County Board of Supervisors approved to submit a grant application to the Yamaha Outdoor Initiative to help pay for signage on the La Paz County portion of the Arizona Peace Trail. The amount of funds the County is seeking is $14,980.46. The website will be providing information on where to gas up, grab a bite to eat or stay the night throughout Yuma, La Paz and Mohave Counties.

By Janet Collier - Town of Quartzsite The winter months vending season is a very busy time of year for the Town of Quartzsite. In fact, this is the peak season for the Town’s local businesses, vendors, visitors, off-roading, and shoppers alike. With all the hustle and bustle going on all over Town, we have a few tips and pointers to help with your success! If you plan on vending within Town limits, there are several requirements that must be met. The Town requires every vendor to fill out an application packet which can be found on the Town’s website, at Town Hall. The packet contains an application, state required licensing eligibility, proper identification, and an AZ tax transaction number. If you are a food vendor, handler, or selling any food or beverage item, you will have a few more requirements which include: a Fire Inspection by the local fire department and a Health permit by La Paz County Health Department. Please contact each agency directly. You will want to start by contacting a local show owner or manager for a show dealer application and space rental for specific site details. Next,
38
complete����� your Town of Quartzsite ven| S������ RAIN G�����-B��� dor application paperwork. And remember each show location is independently owned and operated and must be contacted individually. The Town strives to make this process as efficient and easy for you as possible. We work with each of the show locations, owners, and managers toward the common goal for making Quartzsite a friendly, inviting place for all to enjoy! We suggest having all paperwork completed prior to your arrival into Town – this will save you a tremendous amount of time. If you have any questions, please visit the Town’s website at www.QuartzsiteAZ.org or call us at 928-927-4333. We hope you enjoy your stay with us and come back time and time again!

Things to See & Do
THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY in this area, from the pioneers and settlers who came here and settled into the town that is now Quartzsite; to prospectors and ranchers, whose decedents still live in the town. Many of the old buildings in town are on private property and aren’t accessible due to their deteriorated conditions, but you can still see them from the roads. Some places are open to the public; many are accessible by driving and hiking. TYSON’S WELL STAGE STATION MUSEUM Housed in Charles Tyson’s restored former stage stop, this museum displays mining equipment and houses the old assay office from the Mariquita Mine. The museum also exhibits photographs and personal possessions of some of Quartzsite’s most colorful residents. It is located next to Silly Al’s Pizza on Main Street. A restored stagecoach station operated by the Quartzsite Historical Society. Exhibits relate Quartzsite, its citizens, and locals mines. Collections date from the 1860s and include artifacts, mining equipment, a miniature village, and photographs and personal papers. The Quartzsite Historical Society opened Tyson’s Well Museum in February 1980, after extensive restoration work. The original structurally sound walls were retained and others were rebuilt. A shell of stabilized adobe brick was built around the original walls to protect them. Artifacts were gathered from interested citizens, as well as photographs and old mining equipment. When the building was finished, these articles were placed inside as well as outside the building. The dirt floor in one of the rooms was maintained for authenticity. The ceiling of the main room consists of saguaro

ribs, and the original fireplace is still in use during the winter. Outside in the yard is the original assay shack from the Mariquita Mine, which offers a peek into the everyday life of the miners. Also, in the yard is the handiwork of Walter Barrett, a little village of cement and stone houses built during his retirement and donated to the museum. Just to the west of the Museum are the ruins of the Oasis Hotel, which is our next restoration project, with fundraising currently underway. See: www.quartzsitemuseum.org/ CELIA’S RAINBOW GARDENS Located at the north end of Quartzsite Town Park on Plymouth Rd. This 20 acre section is a beautiful nature trail with several special areas along the trails. It includes a miniature pioneer village, a mining display, rock and gem pavilion, veterans’ area, and much more. It’s a work in progress started by Paul & Joanne Winer, the parents of Celia Anne Winer, an 8-year old who died in 1994. The volunteer project has become one of the most visited parts of the area. Be sure to take your camera to capture your own memories of the flora and fauna while walking the trails. THE GREAT TREE Quartzsite’s Desert Survivor was dedicated as part of Arizona’s Centennial, Witness Tree, verified to have witnessed Arizona’s statehood from February 14, 1912, to February 14, 2012. This Ironwood tree is 1,050 years old. The Trail head is just north of County Court on Plymouth. It has witnessed the ages from the same location and recently in its history has become accustomed to the yearly winter population boom of Quartzsite,

located along Interstate 10 next to the Arizona/California border. BOUSE FISHERMAN The Bouse Fisherman is an Intaglio also known as a geoglyph or earth figure. These very large earth figures were created many years ago by American Indians. The fisherman was first spotted in 1932 on the desert floor when George Palmer, a pilot, saw an enormous human figure with outstretched hands. In 1984, the Colorado River Indian Tribes sponsored a flight which led to a second discovery of the Bouse Fisherman. Bouse residents and others collected money and installed posts and a cable fence around the site. A bronze plaque was set into a stone pillar to commemorate the site hoping for preservation for all. To get there - North out of Quartzsite on Highway 95 for 5.4 miles, then turn right on Plomosa Road. 6 miles up the road look for fences on your left. 6 miles up the road look for fences on your left. Inside the farthest fence you will find the Rock Alignment and 1.3 miles farther up the road you come to a second “scenic view parking” sign. Park and follow path up the hill to see the Intaglios. KOFA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE For 57 miles, US 95 cuts through the desert of Southwest Arizona - quite flat, perfectly straight and aligned exactly north-south, and interrupted only by the small town of Quartzsite. In the mild seasons of winter and early spring, much traffic uses the road, bringing sun seekers from all over the US to Yuma and on into Mexico, but few travel to this region in summer, when temperatures of over 120o F are
not uncommon. Rain falls on only a few occasions each year - the summer thunderstorms that affect the higher areas of Arizona rarely extend this far. South of Interstate 10, US 95 is bordered by the Yuma Proving Ground to the west and the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge to the east - a protected area 25 x 40 miles in extent with no paved roads or facilities of any kind. The refuge is an excellent place for viewing desert plants and wildlife, rock climbing, exploring old mines, or just camping in remote wilderness. PALM CANYON An area of rugged beauty, Palm Canyon may be the only place in Arizona where native palm trees, California Fan Palms, can be found. tucked away in narrow, rugged canyons on the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. People were aware of the small, scattered clusters of trees growing in Palm Canyon even before the creation of the refuge. The palm trees have become a major visitor attraction for the refuge. To get there - Drive South on Highway 95 for 23 miles then turn left into the Kofa Wildlife Refuge for approximately 7 miles on the dirt road until it ends. DRIPPING SPRINGS There are hundred of Petroglyphs here. You will also find the remains of an old stone cabin and an arrastre. Look along the base of the cliff to the left of the stone cabin for the cave where the spring originates. Once you’ve found it, listen and you will hear it dripping from the cave roof, forming a year round pool of water. A path takes off to the left of the cave, following the edge of the cliff where more petroglyphs can be seen.

Dripping springs is one mile down the road from Dos Picachos Mine. The road is steep and rutted. This is a trip for a 4-wheeled drive vehicle. CIBOLA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Cibola National Wildlife Refuge is located in the flood plain of the lower Colorado River and surrounded by a fringe of desert ridges and washes. The refuge encompasses both the historic Colorado River channel as well as a channelized portion constructed in the late 1960’s. Along with these main water bodies, several important backwaters are home to many wildlife species that reside in this portion of the Sonoran Desert. Because of the river’s life sustaining water, wildlife here survives in an environment that reaches 120 degrees in the summer and receives an average of only 2 inches of rain per year. We invite you to visit and enjoy the many wildlife-oriented activities the refuge has to offer and enjoy the scenic beauty of this oasis in the desert. Getting There from Blythe, CA: Drive approximately 3 miles west on I-10 to Neighbors Boulevard/78 exit. Travel south on Neighbors for 12 miles to the Cibola Bridge. After crossing the bridge, continue south for 3.5 miles to headquarters. AHAKHAV PRESERVE The ‘Ahakhav Tribal Preserve was established in 1995 and currently consists of 1,253 acres of wilderness area and a 3.5 acre park. The preserve is centered around a reconstructed Colorado River backwater, which offers a variety of activities including fishing, canoeing, birding, and swimming. The preserve also maintains a 4.6 mile fitness trail as well as playground and picnic facilities located in the park. The preserve serves many purposes.

One is to provide recreational and learning opportunities to the surrounding community as well as visitors. The other is to serve as a revegetation area for endangered and threatened plants and animals native to the Lower Colorado River Basin. The Lower Colorado is an area that faces many problems, from damming that causes changes in natural stream flow, to a variety of invasive species. The preserve is an ongoing project to study methods of revegetation and restoration that may be used though out the area. For more information, please visit www.crit-nsn.gov POSTON MONUMENT This Memorial Monument marks the site of the Poston War Relocation Center where 17,867 persons of Japanese ancestry, the majority of whom were United States citizens were interned during World War II from May 1942 to November 1945. All persons of Japanese descent living on west coast farms, businesses, towns, cities, and states were forcibly evacuated by the United States military on the grounds that they posed a threat to (he national security. This massive relocation was authorized by Executive Order 9066, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942. This Memorial is dedicated to all those men, women and children who suffered countless hardships and indignities at the hands of a nation misguided by wartime hysteria, racial prejudice and fear. May it serve as a constant reminder of our past so that Americans in the future will never again be denied their Constitutional rights and may the remembrance of that experience serve to advance the evolution of the human spirit.

ALAMO LAKE 38 miles north of Wenden, Alamo Lake offers excellent bass, bluegill and catfish. The Arizona State Park can be accessed by a paved road from Highway 60 at the Wenden turn-off to the north on Alamo Lake Road. Owing to its remoteness the park is often considered one of the “best kept secrets” of the state park system. Alamo Lake State Park features camping facilities and attracts wildlife enthusiasts, as the park is home to numerous wildlife species including the bald eagle. The park’s remoteness and distance from cities also makes it a destination for stargazing.
