Los Algadones, Mexico is a great day trip from Quarzsite. It has sprung up fairly recently (last 20 years) specializing in medical services for Americans. Almost any common medical or dental procedure is available along with prescription drugs, all at significant discount compared to the USA. There is a fair number of tourist type shops to entertain you while you wait.

Two additional attractions for RV owners are: stained glass entry doors and custom painting of your satellite receiver dish. And the prices are reasonable even if you don't negotiate (but that is part of the fun).

As you wander around the Quartzsite circle, you can tell who has been to Los Algodones. Just look at the entry door window or the satellite dish.

The Quartzsite Montana Circle doesn't do a lot of scheduling of events. They happen on the spur of the moment. But you can be sure there will be a group (or two) who will want to go. Just be sure to bring your passport as the U.S. Border Patrol is a bit anal about the new rules.
