Jeff, we'll be at Lake Pleasant. We don't have a list as of yet of the others but are planning on a whole tenderloin for New Year's for the group. We will be in the W/E sites overlooking the lake and away from the full hookup campground. It's a fairly quiet area, yet still within easy driving distance of town for any necessaries. We need to stay close to Phoenix as Lorna has a medical procedure scheduled for Jan. 2.

Tom and I are planning to go to Alamo. Tentative arrival date is 12/27. Tom sold his float tube and all the fishing stuff is in storage in Redding, so we'll have to depend on the fishing skills of George and Terry for sustenance.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Thanks Shayne.
Jeff:
No resevations, as it's a State Park and it's first come first serve. We usually try for the first loop off to the right, but the second loop has good features too, depends how many sites are already taken there though. Just drive around a few times until you spot one of us and probably by the third time around we'll spot you..... Ask Terry Brewer about that some time. He has firsthand experience in that catagory.

The Sharps will not be attending. We are flying to Rochester on Christmas day to await the arrival of our first grandchild--a girl. She is due on January 6th.
One of these days we will make Alamo.

Is just a girl worth all the trouble of leaving AZ and going into that cold snowy New York State?? If you can find a flight from Rochester to the airport at QZ - we could pick you up there!! <G> Our best wishes to Jennfer and that is not a joke.

To bring this thread full circle, Binningers are no longer at the rally site in Quartzsite.
This morning it was 24 degrees, we had a 9:00 a.m. appointment at Growers in Salome, the LP generator wouldn't start because of the cold ..... and that's about all the "camping" this fairly cheerful body can stand! This afternoon we are tucked into 88 Shades, now managed by former neighbors Bill and Linda, for the night awaiting prescriptions in the mail. We might stay another night, but after that will probably head to Winterhaven near Yuma. We'll be off line for the forseeable future.
Sure hope nobody takes over "our" rally spot before Bob or some other RV Forum member arrives to secure it.

Thanks for letting us know, Margi. I'm not sure just when I will arrive. As I type this, it is pouring rain w/temps in the 40's in the Sacramento area. I will drive to San Jose on Saturday for Christmas with family -- then begin my trek South to AZ (the by way of's am not sure of as yet). I ususally stop for awhile at Pismo -- but the weather off the CA coast is just not good for that right now. However, it could change at any time.
Hope you find warmer surroundings soon . . .
Wouldn't it be funny if they were having a Global Warming conference in Denver this week?

Fred,
The way the weather sounds from Denver into the Midwest, we may never make it to Rochester; we are suppose to leave Christmas morning. You are right about cold snowy New York State. I am not looking forward to the weather at all. This will be our first winter in Rochester since I retired on December 1, 1991, except for the the winter of 1991-1992. We would have been gone that winter but our previous motor home was not that liveable for long term stays. I hated that winter because I really did not have to be there--just poor planning on Kodak's offering of the early retirement package.
I hope we don't get trapped in Rochester by the weather and not leave on January 17th as planned. We will arrive in Tucson and leave for Quartzsite within about a day and a half.
Hi to Daisy! We will have to get together after Quartzsite.
Regards,
Richard and Linda

Oops. Sounds like I meant "our" personal spot when I really meant "our" RV Forum's rally spot. Tom and I will repark wherever there is room when we arrive.
It's possible someone will choose that spot in the desert not knowing they will suddenly be surrounded by 40 or so other rigs come mid-January. So far, except for the motorhome way down at the end of the road, it's still wide open.

In past years, we've politely informed people what they were in for - Rowdy bunch of hard drinking, loud music, Harley riders throwing up dust everywhere and running generators 'til the wee hours of the morning, but that they were welcome to join us. For some reason, we never had any takers ;D
