and on another note re Q I will be bringing some parts I do not need from remodelling jobs on our coach that may be of use to others. valterra sewer valves, cables etc for same, wet bay spout ext, fridge vent cover, bathroom vanity taps etc etc so we will have a garage sale but everything is free, oh I made up a new sewer flap for the wet bay complete with hinge to match the radiused rail that goes the length of coach. I made another for Trent to match his 295 so that one has gone. These are all alum'n not like the cheapies FT makes in F glass bottoms. I have also brought some tubes of my famous M1 caulking so they will go to the highest bidder !!!!

Made it to Q this afternoon. I was stopped unhooking the Jeep to go find the secret spot, Andy and his wife pulled up followed them to the spot. Met everyone I'm terrible with names but I'll remember them in a few days. Nice group of folks.

Roland or Andy or Bruce:

How's it going at Q today?  Looks like you got rain just to the East and North.  We're enjoying 36 degrees and rain in Midland - supposed to continue through tomorrow, then clear up early Monday.  Anybody traveling on I-20 through TX today is probably getting wet.  We're now planning to pull out Monday - will arrive there Wed. the 18th.

What's the head count now?  Hope you still have room for a few more!

Coordinates are correct BUT you must take the FIRST entry on the right into the desert after the wash. There is a "Do not enter when flooded" sign before that wash. That right is about 1/2 mile from the intersection of 95 and 53rd St.

Yesterday, our granddog, Fawkes tore a tendon in his right rear leg and will be a couple of months before he is back on all fours. Koda is taking care of him and no longer takes his ball away. Unfortunately, this means we will miss the Quartzsite gathering this year. The constant rain and freezing weather have also dampened our preparation for the trip.

We were really looking for some warm weather and good company but will look forward to some photos. Have a great time.
