John & Genni checking out of Q.  Heading back to Texas.  Such a pleasure meeting all the great Foretravel  folks at Quartzsite!  We had a wonderful time!  See you down the road.

It's a little windy here today - blowing out of the north at 20-30 - just in case you want to consider that when picking your parking spot.  Our "street" runs kinda east-west, so the south side of the street gets the dust kicked up by passing vehicles.

OTHERWISE, it's a beautiful day here, and we're looking forward to saying Hi to you guys again.  Drive Safe!

It appears we were overly optimistic about leaving San Diego by 11 this morning....still working on getting things packed up. The new plan is to find a place to overnight along the way and head for the Q in the morning since trying to find the spot in the dark tonight doesn't appeal to us much. :-[

Looking forward to seeing everyone who's still there tomorrow!

Thank you everyone for the the kind words. We enjoyed ourselves so much from the informal "tech" get togethers to the fire ring conversation and jokes.

We had a easy, five hour drive to Puerto Penasco today and just finished a great fish taco dinner with a small pitcher of margueritas (happy hour, $6) listening to "Lost in Love" at this very romantic restaurant.

For those returning via the east route, diesel was $2.49 cash at the Tonopah exit.

Just made a special toast to Bill and Jo. Sure the luck of the Irish will return to them soon.

Well we left this morning and made it all the way to Flag 8), I decided to stop in flag an go ahead and land in a park for the night and get a early start in the morning. Just after 6 pm Eileen was taking Katie for a short walk on her way back she triped and fell and hurt her elbow, packed it with ice and was not helping. So I took to the ER here in Flagstaff and got her looked at. Nothing was broken however she is in a lot of pain. So now she has a sling and a arm sleve. We will contuinue our trip in the morning. We really had a great time at the Q and we never felt more welcome. Thanks to all we met and swapped a few stories.  Katie would loke to thank Trip and Coda for making her fell welcome as well.  Safe travels to you all.

Andy so sorry to hear about Eileen's elbow!  Hope it is nothing serious and it heals quickly. 

We made pretty pretty good time till we hit I-10 and had a flat on the trailer but having a well prepared driver it was only a short 30 min stop to put on the spare....guess we experienced that I-10 curse. 

Don & Tys hope you have a great time....sorry we missed seeing you too.

Well the I-10 curse continues.  This is our view of I-10 this morning at 7:30 just out of Deming NM.  Enjoy that warm weather at Q!

John and GennI...won't forget Campfire 101, Movie Trivia and much laughter. See you when we get back to Texas.
Yikes!  Just saw your Deming post. Be careful!!

Andy & Eileen...ouch! Hope the elbow-healing comes soon. Enjoyed meeting and laughing with you around the campfire. 

Pierce, Gaylie .....such good neighbors.  Thanks for your help and advice.  Give Koda some extra petting from us, and have fun in Mexico.

The weather worsens.  I-10 west bound between Deming and Las Cruces has been a parking lot for the last 45 min.  I think they are clearing a wreck ahead.  Sure wish we were at Q with all the good company and 70 degrees instead!

John:  Try to stay out of the ditch!  Don't want you to scratch up your shiny paint!

We're checking out of Q this morning.  At least we're smart enough to go West, instead of East following The Kerbs.  We'll spend a few days in sunny Ventura, CA visiting relatives, before we head back home to Midland, TX.

Thanks to all for making us feel welcome at our first Q.  One of the many great things about this group is how they take you in and make you feel like one of the family.  Hope to see many of you again somewhere down the road.

Don & Tys:  We were sorry to have missed you on this trip;  we were really hoping to see you.

It was fun to catch up the people we met at FOT and enjoyed meeting new people at Q.  Love Foretraveling.  Hope to see you all here next year (Bill & Jo too).

We made it! Pulled into the Q unrally an hour or two ago...been catching up with old and new friends. Very sad that so many we'd hoped to see apparently pulled out this morning. :( Hopefully we will be able to get here sooner next year...

Safe travels to all of you on the road today!

I'm sorry to have missed you also.

Consider implementing my plan for next year. I have my name on the waiting list for Quail Run, the entire month of January.  Lots of Foretravels there.  Pay for the months, and two weeks are essentially free.  I plan to leave for a few days to a week at a time to be at the fun site, then go back to dump/fill/recharge and take a long shower.

DebandMike we spent the night in Van Horn TX.  We were only able to travel 250 miles.  It was getting close to dark and we did not want to travel in the dark while it was snowing.  We stayed in a real nice RV park called Mountian Valley in Van Horn.  We got a late start this AM to allow the snow/ice to melt.  Roads are dry but as u can see from the picture still quite a bit of snow on the ground.  Sky's are clear and sun is shinning so snow should mostly met today.  Safe travels to you guys!

We pulled in this afternoon from Phoenix; we managed to avoid the I-10 hex (if you don't count a screwed up tire).  We met a few FF folks this afternoon and hope to meet a few tomorrow before we press on to California.

Signed out of "Quartzsite" this afternoon after a wonderful first time in desert! Enjoyed spending time with friends and meeting new friends and forum members for first time. I tried to absorb as much information as discussed as I possibly could, actually as much as my tired old brain could understand and retain!
Enjoyed working with and a big thanks to Barry for helping me install the 12V cigarette lighter outlet in the bedroom to use with CPAP machine.
Made it into Phoenix/Mesa safely but unfortunately put the wrong address in my GPS so I travelled an additional 60 miles, 30 North & 30 South on 101 during rush hour traffic before arriving at campground in Mesa >:(

Barry & Cindy- had a great time with you.  ;D

Hope the generator repairs go well.

Tony- glad you made it to Mesa.  The extra 60 miles are not near as bad as having to drive in "rush hour".  Hope to cya down the road.
