As of a few days ago the January 2013 Lemon Rally is a go.

Details will probably not be promulgated until early December. However, historically the dates have always matched the big RV show dates in Quartzsite.

I am the keeper of the Lemon Rally e-mail list. Thus if you are NOT on the email distribution, and would like to be, please send me a PM to my email address below.

Haven't been vary active on the Forum for a while, I Use to have lots of time, Now I don't! that's OK because business is good. Went to Quartzite last year for the 1st time and meet a fine bunch of people in the Lemon Group. Kenny and Ann Lemon what a nice couple, When I pulled up Kenny helped me get parked and instantly they made me feel welcome. Had a great time meet a lot of great people, I had been on the Forum quite a bit the 2 years before, and meet quite a few people on line, And then got to meet most of them in Quartzite camping. Has any one heard anything about The Lemon Group in Quartzite? Art & Teri Twaddell

Once again I am trying to arrange my schedule to attend the Lemon Rally in Quartzite. I have tried for two years and have yet to make it. Just curious of anyone knows the dates and location yet for this years gathering. Hoping third time is the charm.

Directions to where he sets up every year.
Last years thread
Quartzsite AZ. 2012 - who is going?
Hwy. 95 — 7 Miles South of Quartzsite at Mile Marker 99.
There is a black topped road (LasPaz) going to the West.
Take his road about l/2 mile and look for the Yellow Lemon signs.

Kenny has not confirmed the dates with me yet but it looks like 1/19 - 1/27 this year to coincide with the RV show. The Quartzsite Shows :: General Info

A little taste of last years event for those who missed it.

Here is the invitation from Kenny Lemon by way of Harvey Nelson for Quartzsite 2013
NOTE: This is the last year they will be hosting it.

The Lemon "GATHERING IN THE DESERT" has been set. Jan. 19th ending on Jan. 27th, 2012.

This is going to be the last year that we (the Lemons) will be putting this event on - and what events, in the past, they have been. Age and Health are catching up with both of us.

Last year we had 71 coaches -WOW! This year we are asking for additional help.

To feed this amount of people, we are going to ask $40.00 per couple or $20.00 for individuals to off set the cost for 7 breakfasts and 4 meals.

We, the Lemons, will be doing 7 breakfasts, the Reacquainted Gathering on Jan. 19th, the Desert Stew, and host the Pot Luck.

As in the past, you all have helped us so very, very, much and we know we can count on you again this year.

Ann is asking for help with the planning and preparation of 1 of 4 meals. Anyone interested, please contact Ann. We will reimburse you for the expense (keep track of what you spend).

As always, we are asking for dishes to pass - i.e. salads, desserts, etc. Plan on bringing a dish to pass for a Pot Luck and some vegetable for the Desert Stew.

Please advise Ann (on her cell phone - see below) of what you would be willing to do and she will get back to you. Again, thank you for helping all these years to making these GATHERINGS so very special.

Our last request:: storage of eggs is a real problem. If many of you could bring - and store in your refrigerator - a dozen eggs - this would really help. Also, a gallon of water would be appreciated as we use a lot for cleanup and cooking. Again, we will reimburse you for this.

We will be in the same place as always (give or take a few yards) so look for the Lemon signs. 7 Miles South of Quartzsite, on Hwy. 95, and look for mile Marker 99 - find LasPaz Road (black-topped road) and turn West. Look for the Lemon signs and then the circle FRIENDSHIP.
Ann's Cell: 720.626.4046
Kenney's Cell: 303.921.3843
E.Mail: KALEMON2@AOL.COM
*Home Phone 303.423.9809*
* We are having phone/answering machine problems so if we are home OK
otherwise use the Cell Phones.

Please advise if you plan to attend and also CC to Harvey Nelson (my very special and favorite VP) so that he can help with the list of attendees. If you don't know anything for sure, just show up.

Weather permitting, we hope to leave Denver on Jan. 11th so after that we can be reached on the Cell phones - numbers above. We will be in Phoenix for a couple of days and plan on arriving in Quartzsite on Jan 17th.

Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

kENNEY & ANN LEMON

Folks ; This Quartzsite gathering in the desert is a special event . It has been mastermined by Kenny and Ann Lemmon . Some things just happen , but this event has been because Kenny and Ann have worked very hard , spent lots of hours planning , and forked out lots of cash on top of that . Then haul all this stuff and set it up ----WOW-- Well this time around is their last time doing it . It is time for someone to pick up the torch and run with it .My living in Virginia puts me too far out of reach , otherwise i'd do it in a minute . This would be a great time for us all to show up to show our support to Kenny and Ann . Last year was my only time there and Phyllis and I had a ball. Getting close to pulling up my anchor to go west . Sure am looking forward to this event . brad Metzger

I agree. It certainly is something special. Kathleen and I went last year but had to leave early. This year we plan to stay the whole time, plus arrive early and leave late.

The unit should provide enough heat to keep utility bays warm. Of course this depends on how cold it is outside. You need to monitor it closely to verify that it is providing enough heat energy.

You an operate your Aqua-Hot on either diesel or electric with no limitations with unit winterized.

I talked with Ann Lemon and she has heard from some people who have offered to bring water or eggs.

We will be doing one of the dinners but she has not heard from anyone to help with the other 3 dinners. It can be overwhelming for them without some volunteers to help with these meals.

I suggested if she does not hear from anyone that we should just make the meals "Pot Lucks" rather than they try to do it all which is too much for them at their age.

If you were thinking of helping, if you could let her know as soon as possible it will help in her planning of this daunting task.
