Took a ride from Yuma up to Quartsite yesterday to check out the secret spot, thru the dip take a right,  quick left about a 1/4 of a mile. Didn't see anyone there yet...
Did you meet this local native?  He is the parking lot attendant - holds the Forum parking spots for us in between Gatherings.

We are planning on arriving at our Foretravel Lemon site off mile marker 99 January 15th.  We figure on being there for two weeks.
Kenny Lemon said he plans on driving up from Yuma in his car during the time we are all there.

Tys and I will be coming about or maybe at the same time as John H. & Ruth, assuming I am not lagging finishing projects on the coach. If I had a pit, I would wait for John to get here to help me rebuild the HWH six packs ::) Not certain yet how long we will be hanging out at the Lemon Rally or whether we might be going somewhere else right after, but I anticipate we will be there at least for a bit while the big tent is up.

For those of you at Quartzite who might need AquaHot Service and missed seeing Rudy, John Carrillo will be there.  He is a nice guy, we have seen him twice.  He gets a thumbs up from Rudy too.

Bing maps tells me the "mailing address" for the spot where you turn off the pavement onto the dirt is:

30623 53rd St, Quartzsite, AZ 85344

We've been there several times, but I never saw the mailbox...  Some SOB musta knocked it over when they cut the turn too tight.

The kids used to come up and say they really wanted to do something. Then when it was
a bigger deal to them they would say they really, really wanted to do something. Then when
it was extra special it would be a big hardy, I want to really, really, really want to do this or
that. Well I really x3 want to go to Quartzite this year but it does not look like it is in the cards
for me. I do not have the old coach to where I really feel comfortable making a long trip in it, yet.
I hope everyone there has a really x3  time this year and I look forward to seeing all of you
next year.

A doctors appointment on Thursday  is the hold up . Then it is pedal to the metal 2380 miles worth . Will make it a five day deal , after all , I am retired .  My inner voice says to me ---be off the road by four each day ---and that is the plan .  ;D  ;D  ;D      Brad Metzger

We are leaving after work on Wed. the 25th and arrive the same day, and returning on Monday  the 30th. Can't park the crane much longer than that without making customers unhappy.
