We had to use 24 inch long iron stakes with a ring at the top. We bought them from one of the vendors that caters to other vendors with awning/booth supplies. I had to use a long drill auger bit to be able to get them into the hard ground. They did the trick to hold our awnings down in a 2 hour long sand storm one night at Q.
My wife ended up with the Quartzsite Crud (Valley Fever) after being out in that sand storm trying to make sure the tables with our goods didn't blow over. It took her a couple of months to get over it.

Jay picked up some of those really long ones. We're back up for now. Guess we'll see how they hold! Sorry she got that nasty stuff! Hope she's doing well now. Had some great views this morning with the sun coming up. Life is different here, but it sure is pretty at times. :)
For those that follow along on our adventures...we're a little over 3 weeks at La Paz Valley RV park in Quartzsite: http://pursuingasleeve.blogspot.com/2016/11/first-sand-storm.html
