I had a Gendron Speed Truck in 1951, but I was only 5.

Hi,

My wife and I are hunting for a newer rig and wanted to look at some of Foretravel units at your rally. If we were to come out there tomorrow are any of of the owners still in camp? Yes we live in phoenix so easy quick drive to Q.

Thanks everyone.

Jeff,

How new are you looking for? We have coaches here from 1986-2000. We have 12 or so left in camp.

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for your reply.

We are looking for a rig with a slide or two so probably looking at units from 02 to 05. U295's and U320's. At least for now. As you know there aren't many to see in person so any chance we get we take it. Tried to make it out last weekend but the rain ruined our trip.

Thank you again for responding. We have to sell our Wanderlodge first but trying to get something done by May.

Drive safely.

We will keep looking.

Visited that Bar last winter and thought it was a big rip off on prices. Food was bad and beer etc prices a joke. Lots of people though.

Phil and I sent off the "4 Amigos" at Bad Boy's Cafe. Vaya Cornehos! (That's what some Mexican told me was a proper greeting, I really should look it up sometime)

Kent & Peggy Speers & Dori & I are in Organ Pipe Cactus National Park. Four Foretravels rolled in last night. Twig, Roland & Carman, Larry, & Rick! We had a Pourtravel meet up at Kent's coach with a propane campfire (only kind allowed here) where many lies where told. This morning we followed the group down to Puerto Peñasco. While they were setting up we drove down the beach to the Wrecked Reef for lunch on the beach. Many fried shrimp, fish & jalapeño poppers were consumed. Came back and sat around Twig's coach just like at Q.

Before we left Twig took us to the Fish Market and we picked up 3lbs of Rocky Point shrimp. Made it back across the border with barely a question asked. Kent & I are headed to Tucson tomorrow for February & March. We have plans for many shrimp dishes.

This has been one of my best years Foretraveling yet!

see ya

Perhaps this is Vaya con Dios, which means Go with God?

I think Cornehos are a new brand of tortilla chip.

5 coaches were here this morning - then there were 3 (first photo) - then 2 (Balcanthez and us)(2nd and 3rd photo) - then there was only one (us)(4th photo). We leave tomorrow, and The Gathering Place will be left to the SOBs (like the Class C in the far distance).

Well, we've been gone from Quartzsite for several days but being with such like minded people for over a week was certainly worth the trip. We had a great time. In fact several of us hooked up again at Organ Pipe and we followed Twig, Rick, Larry and Roland and Carmen into Puerto Penasco, Mexico yesterday, oh and Sampson. They stayed but we left and went back to the US. We're now back in Tucson for the next two months. Maybe Mexico next year.

Last morning at Q.

The two full-time parking lot attendants, Leroy and Jethro, bid us a fond farewell. Leroy, the younger of the two, is very friendly but as Mike Leary cautions, do not let him give you a hug. Jethro, the crusty elder (hiding behind the bush), lost his left arm in a shootout while serving as a scout for the Border Patrol. He was renowned for his ability to infiltrate bandit camps using his natural camouflage skills.

We'll see ya'll next year!
