I agree. I think they ought to be required to attend.

What else is so important?

Kent- you know that when DW's family is having a big event and she says we are going, it means we are going.
It also happens to be the exact same time, other end of the country ( thats where we will leave the coach ), actually in the Cayman Islands. It's rough but we must do what we have to do.

I'm sure Peggy can explain it if you are not sure..........lol

We just finished the Grandvention and several mentioned they are planning on being in Quartzsite. Should be a good showing.

How is the cell coverage around Quartzsite and in the desert where everyone stays?

Thanks,

Your right Bill, . Here lately I've forgot all kinds of stuff and it's getting worse . When I finally get there , I might forget why I came and where I came from . This is where Barney comes in . He is the one with the good mind .

If you will read this thread from the beginning, you will find some info on the location, like (for instance) this:

"Lemon" Gathering secret location: N33 34.965 W114 13.874 (copy and paste into Google or Bing maps satellite view)

Lately, I've been using Bing maps rather than Google maps - I find it works just as well, and is often more informative.

Ok members---how many are going to bring a " Off Road " machine to go play in the near by mountains ,old mines the " Oh shit trail" and some working claims . How about the ride thru the mountains all the way to California . ?? This is a great area to explore , check out some interesting stuff . I don't know the area well , but good enough to get around pretty good . Been doing this for seven years and look forward to it each year . I do the tent thing and enjoy bit , but the main thing is meeting the Foretravel folks that are here for the first time and visiting the folks I have come to know over the years . Brad Metzger

If it in the same location as in the past- go 7 miles south of I-10 on Hwy 95. Then go west on blacktop then dirt about 1/3 of a mile.

We are planning to come up, look forward to the gathering. The only warning I'd give to newcomers, is," Don't Play Poker with The Group". The word is, one of the players has a drone w/camera that reads cards; they never lose.

You got to watch that drone guy -- heck his dog runs around reading cards and reports back .

Last year at the big Q to do , Barney met up with Sampson .They ran off at speed . Came back after a few minutes and put on a run show for us . This is when Barney told me about how Roland was teaching Sampson how to read cards. So , now we know , ---the drone--and now Sampson --- gamblers beware . !!!

As I recall Barney ran a bit slower than usual, didn't want to embarrass Sampson. As for card reading when it comes to polka I need all the help I can get.

Popping this up to the top. Soon it will be Thanksgiving, then CHRISTMAS, then Q

Reiterating from Barry's initial post: Tent RV show dates are January 21st through 29th 2017.

Come early to get yer pick of the prime parking spots! Space is limited, and will go fast!

(Due to budgetary constraints, only 101.171 hectares of desert will be available to FoFums this year)
