The worlds biggest parking lot. Every winter this tiny desert town, which usually has a population of around 3600 residents. Gets invaded by an estimated 1.5 million Rvers, which is possibly one of the largest rv gatherings in the world. There are 3 major shows the first and biggest is the Rv show bringing in 750,000 to 1 million people alone, the second is the rock
and gem show. Finally a classic car show, and there is always a large flea market surrounding the events.
What happens when a couple million people descend on a small town, most roads only had stop signs.

The Hi Jolly story..... I was a bit disappointed when I realized Hi Jolly was a person not a camel :)
This is 8 miles out into the desert, There were 3 rows of these land yachts the value of one alone would last me a lifetime. 1000's of peeps even out this far.
Still 8 miles out
My camp where I met up with some old friends from years past.
These guys were flying over camp nightly. Maybe a fun way to explore?
