I love the ice skates. Fat chance they will ever be used there.

Well It may get down to 43 tonight, so unless it gets colder chances of a lake of ice are slim. But we do think it is cold. Just ask Gary B at Happy Hour tonight, he thought it was as cold as his Minnesota winters!

Gary, Maria, Jerry and I went down to Palm Canyon today. We had a nice enough hike but boy was the canyon windy! It made for tricky footing. It looked like someone went in after the winter rains and added a lot of small rocks to smooth the trail somewhat. My one and only photo of the palms was a bust. The shadows were on the lower part of the canyon and the sun was high on the canyon walls. The palm trees were right where the shadows and sun met and got wiped out so no photo of the palms. Maybe Maria had better luck.

Ardra, don't know if this is an improvement of what you got but Maria added a bit of I-Photo magic to one of her pix.
A few other candids of the hikers, Jerry, Ardra, Maria and yours truly.
PS. Maria's going to the museum tomorrow. Time ???. Anyone interested in joining her?

I'm finally leaving Palm Springs after taking care of some last minute problems. Expect to see me around midday Thursday.

Anyone here in the RVForum group have a scanner? Ann needs to scan a document, and if someone had one she could use for a minute, it would save her a trip to town.
Thanks!

Hi Folks,
Sure miss being there with the group, but the boon docking thing, especially in the desert just doesn't seem to work for us.
Has anybody mentioned anything about trying to get together this OCT in Moab? From reading the posts, it sure sounds like this is a better time for Moab than May, especially since the ATVs aren't competing for the trails then. We missed last fall because we attended the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, but would sure attend if there's going to be one this fall.

What a day, January 22, 2015. Terry went out to breakfast with Jeff, Barb and Frank. He had chicken fried steak and did not want any lunch! I walked with the group at 10 am. 2.03 miles or 2.09 miles according to the pedometer you believe! I learned that Marge and hubby Utahclaimjumper left today and returned early with a fixed refrigerator coil. Love it when a plan is an easy and inexpensive ( under $100 fix)
Terry and Frank spent the day on the floor of our motorhome trying to get the motosat to work. They swapped modems , re did electrical and on and on... NO LUCK. I went shopping and got new scissors, pizza flavored cheese, a floor mat, bottle stoppers and smoked flavored salt and steak rubs. The big tent was still too crowded for me so I found my "bargains" at Tyson Wells.
I tried to visit Linda Sharp but her motorhome entry was blocked by Richard fixing batteries! Frank helped Richard load them in Richard's car and he went to town!
I saw several men trotting back and forth with light fixtures in hand. Seems Bill ( Hughey Pilot) was offering "man cave" craft sessions to have men convert their florescent lights to something LED in nature. He has quite the set up! FMCA should take a note and offer such hands on sessions! Bill's lady friend, Rene and daughter arrived in time for Happy hour. More on Happy hour in next post!

Lotsa new comers were welcomed at Happy Hour tonight. Weather was much more cooperative in that there was less wind.
Marsha and Tim L. arrived to day but failed to show up in time for introductions at Happy hour. Lou Schneider drove in and we hear he may be playing hooky from work ( not answering his phone)
There were a bunch of new folks who arrived last night during the wind but I did not know there was a gathering so forgive me for not highlighting name of new folks. Guess you gotta name yourself! They were really nice people so they gotta come forward!
Our invited guests Pat and Alice M were introduced tonight and while their gig is to lead groups with Adventure Caravans, they were more than content to read their books in peace all day. I'll get their picture before they leave!
sometimes unstructured is just what the doctor ordered. So it goes with Quartzsite rallies....do your own thing!
Fire was started and I trotted home to do dinner and these postings!

Chet,
The time frame conflicts with an FMCA 4 Wheel rally in St. George. Last year most of our folks chose Moab but this year they are going to St. George. I don't know if anyone would be interested in going to Moab a week or 2 earlier, but personally I'm OK with taking a year off from Moab.
If others want to discuss this further we should probably split this discussion off in a new topic.

Dinner is over and I'm back!
Happy Hour tonight resulted in a couple of BIGGies!
Following introductions, we see a brand new Allegro motorhome driving in towing a yellow Volkswagon. After a nearly 6 year search Mike and Wendy L (mike coke) struck a compromise between the two of them and bought a new rig! They kept a secret from those of us at Indio where they struck the deal. She looked mighty exhausted having transferred all those possessions from one rig to another. Recall he has a hole in his hand from a drill? She is not ready for open house but the motorhome is beautiful on the outside. I am so happy for them !

And in MOST memorable moment, happy hour was highlighted by the arrival of Ed and Donna Gorber. They arrived in a white rental car! Seems their motorhome is at home in Shediac, Nova Scotia. They have purchased a condo in Florida but miss the RVForum Quartzsite experience so they flew today from Tampa, Florida to Phoenix and rented a car. They are staying in a motel in Blythe, CA and will join us for RVForum activities! I think they win the traveled the farthest moment! Prize to be determined!
This gesture just shows how valuable and memorable our RVForum has become! What a commitment to travel this distance. I heard they have already secured a ride with Michael on the 4 wheel drive trip in the morning to Dripping Springs! We recall the flat tires ED experienced on a former trip! Good luck Michael!
Welcome Canadians! And then they got their name tags to be in line with our rules!

Sigh,
So many memories from our many RVForum Quartzsite rallies. I love all the new people and energy, but I am also missing the long timers who are not here for dozens of their reasons. Fred and Daisy, Ned and Lorna, George and Lucy, Margi and Tom, Helaine, Bernie and Marlene, Rolf and Shirley , Jim and Pat G and D , Ron and Shirley, Dan and Jeannine, Pam and George, Ken and Sheila, Al and Vel, Ron and Sam, Bob Buchanan, Bill and Ramonda, Don and Peg, Chris and Mimi and all the others who are not here! Forgive me if I did not mention your name. Speak up and remind me! We grow old together and need all the help we can get with our memories of one another!
This RVForum is a tremendous value in our life and we thank Tom Jones for his Ownership in the whole thing!
Blubbering!....

Frank is leading a 4 wheel drive trail in the morning at 9 am. Dripping Springs and we have not been there for several years so it will all be new!
