While passing through Yuma, we went out to eat at a local Latin-American restaurant and one of the dishes we ordered was served with a small bowl of sofrito on the side. It was so good, we had to make our own!
When I saw on Facebook that our friend, Joe Hartman, got a job with Amalgamated Sugar last September, I wanted to hear all about his experience working the sugar beet harvest. Then when we found out he was going to be at Quartzsite the same time as us, I had my chance to talk with him in person.
If you’re not a person who travels by train, you probably haven’t heard about Railroad Sandwiches. They’re bready, meaty, don’t need refrigeration, and stand up to harsh conditions like squishing them into our backpack for a day hike.
Tired of wintering over in buggy and humid south Florida, we decided to try the BLM lands in the desert southwest. We’d heard a lot about Quartzsite and the surrounding areas, so we decided this was the year to check it out.
We are Girl Hobo and Rusty (Ren and Troy), two greys who met on the Appalachian Trail. We started a life together, converted a van to travel and hike across the country, and we like to eat well. Now, we’re sharing what we’re learning on the road, and we’d love you to join us!
