Malo Okhazikika a Quartzsite
Ali ku Dera la Sonoran la kumadzulo kwa Arizona, Quartzsite ili pamtunda wa makilomita 18 kummawa kwa mtsinje wa Colorado ku Interstate 10. Ulendo wa makilomita 125 umatenga maola awiri kuchokera ku Phoenix; tawuniyi imakhalanso yosavuta kufika ku Los Angeles.

Chiwonetsero cha chaka ndi chaka chimachitika kuyambira mwezi wa Oktoba mpaka April, ngakhale zochitika zazikulu zikuchitika mu Januwale ndi February. Ngati mukufuna miyala yamtengo wapatali ndi minerals, gulitsani malonda pazochitika zazikulu za "rock hound" pamene mungapeze magetsi, makristasi, komanso mafupa osungunuka padziko lonse lapansi.
Mapulogalamu achikulire oyendetsa masewerawo amatha kusonkhana, ndipo mukhoza kupeza zinthu zachilendo zopangidwa ndi manja ndi zodzikongoletsera zamtundu uliwonse pazowonetserako zamatsenga nthawi zonse. Onjezerani mukuphatikizapo mawonetsero apamwamba a galimoto, zophika zophika, ndi mavidiyo a RV ndi malonda, ndipo Crazy Quartzsite imasunga kalendala yanu yonse.
Fufuzani kalendala ya Quartzsite kuti mutha kubwera pa zochitika zomwe zimakukhudzani kwambiri.
Gwiritsani ntchito nyuzipepala ya The Desert Star mukafika ku tawuni kuti mukhale ndi zowonjezera zamakono komanso malonda.
