After a morning soak, we headed out to the fabled Quartzite for our very first stay on BLM land. We stopped in town and bought a cable to connect the two new batteries. We had called around to see if we could find someone to install the batteries, but no one was available on a Saturday, so we decided to do it ourselves. The hardest part was lifting the heavy (66 lbs. each) new batteries into the compartment. We were proud of ourselves for succeeding at this task.
The area where we camped is called Road Runner. It's a 14-day free camping area. You just pull off the road south of mile marker 99 and pick a more-or-less level spot.
Our new batteries held out fine for the night. We were pleased that we were able to install them ourselves after we bought a cable in Quartszite to hook them together.
