I was sick that week and only arrived the last 2 days of that show. $7 is a great price Snowman9000, do they have a dump station?
Boatman22 where are you coming from?

Great info, we will be coming for the Houston area.

I'm staying at this Arizona oasis RV park in Enrenberg Arizona will be our first-time to go.

Staying at Arizona Oasis RV park in Erenberg,will be our first-time to attend. A lot of empty spaces now but may fill up after Christmas.

Sagecoachdriver, I don't think they have a dump station. There are 2 or 3 retail dump stations in town. They are big operations. They will also sell you drinking water fills. The office at Rice Ranch can point you to them.

We went in full of water and with empty tanks, and after close to a week we were low on water and high on waste. But we drove onward to our next stop, which had hookups.

Snowman, did we chat while up there last January, are you from Illinois?
You haven't mentioned whether you are coming this year or last time was enough?
I recall chatting with CreativePart, but he only made it to Tucson from Texas.

[Snowman9000]

I think we were both on the thread you had last year, but we did not meet. We are from Illinois. We would go back, but this year is up in the air for now.

Well I guess it's time for a road trip. We were talking about Quartzsite and my wife said lets go check it out........so we are leaving today to see what it's all about.....

[kholmes]

Would like to go. We are planning to be in Arizona for the month of January . Love looking at RVS. Will try & book something around Jan 20th

I does seem like a many more trailers and 5er's are going that Class C's. Haven't heard from any Class A's, but then my Title didn't mention them either.

I asked the DW if she wanted to go back to Quartzsite this year. She replied only if we go with friends or we meet up with a group. I think she's getting bored with me. Since retiring 2 years ago, we are like attached at the hip. So, who's going?
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I believe we're going to attend if the weather cooperates (surely it will). We have a new Forester (we traded in our 10 yr old Revolution) which we're anxious to try out. We've heard good things about our Forester and want to put it to the test. We'll tow our Mini so we have alternative transportation. We're new retirees looking forward to this and our new lifestyle.

[Sagecoachdriver]

Only a month away now. Anyone else planning on going? Looks like my RV retirees from work are not that interested. So we are now a maybe. May use it as a stopover while heading east to Carlsbad Caverns. We've never been that way in winter.

Hi,

I plan on heading out from northern Illinois next Friday, weather permitting. I'm going to allow a week to get there, with a visit to a buddy near Nogales, AZ.

Even viewing all the YouTube stuff I can get my eyes on, I'm still not sure where I'll drop anchor to start. But hopefully I eventually will find somewhere I can get open air TV reception for the Superbowl. (grin).

Depending on your current weather conditions, we waited till we hit I-40 before the RV got de-winterized. That was in late January.

[bob caldwell]

You can get antenna reception from Phoenix there

[stoppercamper]

So excited, Quartzsite is just one week away. Can't decide whether to stay at Scaddan Wash or Dome Rock. The rest of our group backed out, except one, so we will just have 2 campers going. Any preferences??? We're coming from Phoenix. And we want to go to Blank Anyone been there???

We go to the Desert Bar every year we are in Quartzite. Be aware they do cash and checks only. No credit cards.

where do you stay in Quartzite? How far of a drive to Desert Bar? Is it fun enough to spend the day there, or just like 3 hours??

[Tucson Joe]

We stay on BLM land called Hi Jolly. Five miles north of town. I think 3 hrs is enough to spend there. That is about how long we spend there. The road ther is a dirt one and sometimes it is bad.

Hi,

I arrived yesterday, and have set up provisionally at Plomosa.

Having never been here before, I've got a lot of scouting to do. But as long as I can hold onto a good TV signal for the playoffs, life will be good. (smile)

FWIW
