Re: Quartzsite 2018 (split from Re: Quartzsite January 2017 Foretravel "Lemon" Gathering) Reply #51 – September 10, 2017, 09:03:35 pm I got the red (same color as my Jeep) and took off the grill decals and had that painted too. Went down to "Twig's Hideout" down in Puerto Penasco. I headed on down a lot later than everyone else due to previous engagements, but stayed long enough to see Peter and Melissa and give them a tour of the right places. Also had my front seats, dash, and valences recovered.6 Months later, I'm still happy I got it all done.Below is Falcor and 'Ol Red on the road, the second picture shows off the painted on decals (I was in Sturgis and wanted to show off my "Hog") Quote Selected 3 Likes

October 20, 2016 Russ De Maris By Russ and Tiña De MarisWith Labor Day behind us, the snowbirds are beginning to shiver in their skivvies and plan for their winter travels. While this is not a complete list, already many of the big Quartzsite happenings are posting up their dates. Here's a partial calendar of activities – and remember, if you're a boondocker, September 15 marked the opening of the winter season on Bureau of Land Management Long Term.

How do you keep warm with an Acua-Hot in the desert?? Just thinking aheadRun it on diesel, keep an eye on battery level. If no solar, run generator in the morning to recharge batteries. Probably a 2nd run before bed time (or reasonable quiet hours for nearby campers). Quote Selected
