We are back home in Tucson and unpacked, after a stop at Cocopah Golf & RV Park in Yuma (nice, once you actually find it!) and then the Quechuan Casino parking lot. Thanks to Kent Speers for an interesting drive from Yuma to Winterhaven that took over an hour and involved dirt roads and the Border Patrol ... 'nother story for the campfire. Dental visits and shopping in Los Algodones have been accomplished and continue to be top notch. We had a very fine time in Q this year. I was excited to go back ... next year we plan to follow some folks into Mexico for a tutorial and short stay. It just gets better and better!! So happy to have made some new friends! Happy to have seen the old ones and learned some new stuff. Have a good Winter, everyone!!

I guess you know I have to chime in on this little tidbit. Between the two couples we have four qualified drivers of our coaches but someone decided to follow a driver suffering from severe back pain that had been to the ER and on pain killers (not that morning) to lead the parade. If we had been going East as I though instead of South directly toward Mexico I doubt that the Border Patrol would have even gotten involved. I was a little curious why the highway turned into a dirt road but hey, its S. Arizona.

Oh well, like Carol said this can be discussed around the campfire in Q next year if your interested in the details. Otherwise we will say no more.

Thanks for the laugh Tony, those darn GPS units... But it does remind us when years ago, we pulled into a truck stop and when leaving turned the wrong way on the highway and after a while the scenery started to look familiar.
Enjoy Mesa, check out West World in Scottsdale.
We sure enjoyed being your neighbor and spending time with you, and we thank you for your secret campground electric outlet.

Kent has to have 4 GPS units running at the same time.. Then, he doesn't pay any attention to any of them...

If the GPS units are so smart, why don't they drive.

Remember, you followed me the whole way.

Link goes to a Picasa photo album of our trip to Quartzsite. Down Highway 395, Quartzsite, Puerto Penasco, Lake Havasu and finally, June Lake. Hope all coaches are back on the road now and in good shape.

Palm Canyon is down 95 13 miles from our Quartzsite campsite and then left for 5 miles. Turn is marked on the highway.

@Pierce Thanks for the pics!

You mean to tell me that you drove 13 + 5 miles and hiked 1/2 a mile to Palm Canyon and didn't take any pictures of the palms??? Or are you trying to pass off that cactus as a palm tree?

see ya

I wish to state for the record that I had a detailed conversation with one K Speers before setting out on our 15 mile transfer from Cocopah to Quechan (only about 5 miles as the crow flies, but you have to go east to go west in Yuma) and we reviewed the step by step route on his GPS. If he was drug addled, he was hiding it well, and even told me that he was familiar with the turns, having taken them on an earlier drive. Just a warning to you all!!! You just never know when Speers is over medicated ... he hides it well!!! Wiley sonofagun, to be sure ......

I'm sure he was hiding it well, well enough the border patrol couldn't find it. Tell us more about the earlier drives. How many were there? I smell mules here.

We have very few "rules". In fact ... I can't think of ANY, beyond ordinary politeness. If you are in your early 30s, we may use our elderly wiles to trick you into performing acts of labor or strength that our decrepit selves can't manage ... like assisting the "Technical Support Crew" and fixing something that requires bendability!!

And we might put the kids to work launching sky lanterns.

All,
My wife and I bought a house and had to remodel prior to moving in so we decided not to go to Q this time, probably not a good decision as we're getting the "contractor shuffle" (very common in East Texas when a.) it's hunting season, b.) the fish are biting, c.) too cold, d.) too hot, you get the picture). Would like to put our name on the list for next year for sure. Best regards, Mark and Judy Blain.
