Small World

I was stopped on the side of the road waiting to hear if my wife had been able to secure a campsite at Gilbert Rey Park in Tucson. Had a knock on the door and it was old Matt B, who lives nearby, stopping to see if a fellow Foretraveler was having trouble. Thanks Matt! Great community.

We live on the northwest end of Tucson.  Send a message to meet for coffee, or if you need help.  I am not a master mechanic, but I have some tools, and can read from the forum while you wrench!

Settled for the night at the BLM parking area next to the Ajo highway. All is well. Trying to plan our stays through September. On to Quartzite Saturday.

Where?  We're on the BLM just across from the firehouse.  Here a couple weeks.  Will keep an eye out for you.

We are just a hundred yards from you toward the highway in the west corner by highway. Saw your rig a few minutes ago in our walkaround and looked you up on Motorcade directory.

Cool.  Let's catch up before you head out.  Always great to meet other Foretravelers.

Just had our coffee around the Little Red Campfire. Looking forward to visiting later this evening with his crew.

We live in Tucson; NW side.

We have just sold our house and have to be out by Tuesday.  Otherwise we would come out and chat with all you Foretravelers.

Hope to catch up with all of you at Camp Q.

Well, dear one, we miss you and Jeff too.  So when the snow comes  put on a jacket and grab a shovel and have at it. Oh, for some, long pants too. Or hire a young person to do it.

Sold the house, are you going to have a Mexico address going forward?
