I don't mean to be pushy, but will the Forum be holding its annual Quartzite rally during the January 2020 RV show - January 18 - 26? I did see that an announcement was made for the 2019 get-together the first of October last year, so just wondered. Planning ahead for where I'll be and what I'll be doing after January 10, 2020. Inquiring minds are eager to know.

Hi Linda. I'm sure the Forum rally at Q will happen, but I haven't heard any chatter about it yet. Cyndi and I are planning to go for at least part of the show (as visitors.) We don't yet know the dates we'll be there, but I'll keep you posted. We're also working on some KOFA dates. I'll keep you posted on those too - probably be trips there in Jan and Feb.

We're also hoping to be there, provided the good people in the CBA let us back in to your wonderful country.

Larry N. · « **Reply #3 on:** November 05, 2019, 02:09:06 PM »

We're tentatively expecting to be at Q in January, but timing is not yet certain. Even if it's not "official" by a post here, I suspect there'll be plenty of folks there from the forum.

John From Detroit · « **Reply #4 on:** November 05, 2019, 04:36:17 PM »

I was hoping to make it this year but after a new chunk of floring (main slide out) new slide out motor and new cooling unit.. around 4000 total.. Perhaps next year.. At least I had enough left over to renew my license tags (530 for car and RV combined).

Heli_av8tor · « **Reply #5 on:** November 05, 2019, 05:13:58 PM »

We plan to be there again this year as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Dreamsend · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2019, 07:52:54 PM »

Oh goody, goody! I knew I was planning to stay at Q part of January, perhaps part of Feb again, and am so glad there will be friends to meet up with. I could really use the company (and the biscuits and gravy) after the past 3 months of struggles. Adding KOFA into the plans is a must. Thanks Kevin for posting about it. I wasn't sure about KOFA given your current property hunts in AZ.

I'll just stay tuned-in for developments.

Thanks all
Linda

Pam and I will be there, wouldn’t miss it. RV show runs January 18 to the 26th. We’ll be there from the 17th to the 26th. See you all there.

I was also wondering when the "Q" post was going to start. Hope to make it this year ourselves. :-)

Doreen & I will be there from Jan 17 to ?? been a very good time out there. See everybody soon

UTTransplant · « **Reply #11 on:** November 06, 2019, 01:11:02 PM »

Pam and Kevin will definitely be there for 2-3 weeks. I know it will include the week of the show, but we haven’t decided whether to come early, stay late, or both! Hoping the timing works out to see people at KOFA too.

Utclmjmpr · « **Reply #12 on:** November 06, 2019, 05:40:27 PM »

Dan & Marge will be there on the 11th of December to,?? We will probably be parked the next wash to the east with my brother
and friends... This will be our 23rd trip and won't miss it.>>>Dan

InVogue · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2019, 11:50:43 PM »

Burnetta and I (Dwight) will be coming over around the 23rd(staying in Parker before hand)...we will have in tow two very New Newbies(recently retired) full timers as of this year, Don and Carole. I'll make sure they have name tags!! LOL

Jerry and Ardra are planning to be there too, about Friday Jan. 17th.

Larry,, fire up that Cub and come on down.. In the "old days" I used to land in down town Quartzsite when one of the three strips was where the tent now is.... I've done that with a Stinson 108- 3,, a C337..and a C182..and C414.>>>Dan

PancakeBill · « **Reply #17 on:** November 17, 2019, 11:33:35 AM »

Jolene and I are in FL for the winter, so maybe a Southeast get-together at some point. Q was fun last year and the reason we are now in this coach.

Wish I could Dan, but it doesn't have much room for two to spend a week or more.

Actually, I sold it several years ago, too, and when I had it I'd never heard of Q. But we are tentatively planning to be there, tentative because there are other personal considerations.

Suz and I (Bruce) are tentative to go to Q this year. Looking forward to it! Not sure of the dates yet, but we’re planning on going.

Old_Crow · « **Reply #24 on:** December 02, 2019, 08:28:39 AM »

Well, carp!
Left Bishop on Oct 31st, and we've spent the last month camped on the west side of the Sierra's without cell or net service.
Got to Quartzsite yesterday, but will only be staying a couple of weeks, instead of the 3 months I'd planned.
Got an offer on the house and we have to go back to Arkansas to take care of it. Going to cram a couple of desert trips into the next week, spend the week after that in Phoenix at a business meeting, and head for cold, snowy Arkansas after that.
Hope you guys have fun.

We plan on being there. Hopefully with a fully functioning RV.

Point is, I didn't want to be there at all. The last time I spent the winter in Arkansas, the temps dropped to 11*F one night, and all the plumbing in my RV froze due to an electric heater choosing that night to quit on me. Costs the insurance company over $9k to re-plumb the whole coach.
Much nicer in Arizona.

Well, we'll be gone a week by the time you get here. Should be enough time for them to get re-stocked.

John From Detroit · « **Reply #30 on:** December 04, 2019, 04:04:32 PM »

I had hoped to be there but... New floor new cooling unit (Fridge) New slide out motor (Kilobuck) new A/C (next year) 2 new stents (heart) new lens (eye) Need new budget.

And due to the misplacement of my Antenna warning device. new Sensar IV head (on order due in monday)
new moto mount bolt (in stock but a temp in hole) new 3/4" bolt in steering stablizer.. It all adds up (On hand but installed perhaps tomorrow) Tired human.. Well.. yes.

For anyone interested I did an aerial video of the Jan 2019 gathering at the usual spot and posted it on YouTube. Here is the link:

Today was a great day to NOT be in Yuma! cold, windy and rainy here. But tomorrow should be a lot better.

Sorta happy to hear you say that. We were in Quartzsite, but had to come back to Arkansas to take care of some business(and, apparently perform $500 worth of repairs on our toad).
I was worried about how the weather was going to be compared to Arizona. Well, it's been in the high 60's-low 70's each day since we got back.

Great weather for putting new brake calipers on my Jeep.

Congratulations! Interesting coincidence as that would be an anniversary date for me also (42 years together) , but I have been widowed now for more than 3 years.

Much better weather today here in Yuma.

Which day was the drone video done? We were there, but not on vid, so must have been before we arrived.

Bill,

Yes, same here. A day or so later and we’d been on the left end as the drone was heading out of our area. You parked next to us when you arrived.

The fire ring is in fair shape and the RV Forum stone is still in good shape face down.. We will be here till March 1st..>>>Dan
