It has been many years since Jimmy & I were able to attend a Quartzite Rally. But we are sending two new friends your way. Be on the lookout for Rudy & Eileen Latasa from Socorro, NM.They are friends from the electric co-op where I serve on the board.

My goodness, we all had a lot more hair back then  :).

Almost 17 years ago members of the RVFORUM gathered together in Quartzsite to celebrate Y2K. We were presented  with a token from Betty Brewer to commemorate this auspicious occasion. THE ROCK. How many of you still have your rock?

Jimmy and I still get a little travel-twinge when we see the hummingbirds heading South.  Enjoy your next adventure.

A crisis is upon us.  Trader Joe's has raised the price of Two Buck Chuck from $1.99 to $2.49. It is now known as Upchuck.  :)

We have seen a lot of rigs heading west on Hwy 60 and thought about the old gang.  Once that RV life gets in your blood, it seems to linger. Anne & Jim

It has been a while since we checked, but wanted to see who might be gathering in Quartzsite this year.  We are alive and well in Pie Town and thinking of you all. Anne & Jim Dorough

Just wanted to let you all know that our Barth has found a new home in New Jersey.  For the first time in 15 years, we are without a home on wheels.  Feels kind of funny. Anne & Jim Dorough Pie Town, NM

When traveling west out of Socorro on Hwy 60, after you pass the VLA at Magdalena, you will come to Pie Town.  You will be just in time for the Pie Festival on Sept 8th. We should be living full time in Pie Town by then and you can come visit.  September is a great time to be in that area. If...

Over time, we have replaced all four sets of springs on our HWH jacks.  First you tie the jack up in the retracted position with a bungie cord.  On the rear, attach the inside spring and then the top of the outside spring making sure the hook on the end is pointing inside.  Now for the fun...

Scotty, Have you checked RVSEARCH.  They have a 1986 32ft Barth for sale. Anne

If you will send me a private email, I'll share the address for the secretary of the Barth Rangers.  There may be some rigs advertised in the newsletter. Anne

A Barth is a very good choice.  Our coach is a 1993 and still going great.  It is time for us to settle down or we wouldn't sell it.  As far as getting parts for it, it is easier than you think.  Barth used ordinary every day parts and not special RV parts.  The windshield is a good example.  It...

Hi to all, We still technically have the Barth up for sale, but this doesn't seemed to be the best time to try and sell an RV.  In any case, I need to learn to drive it properly, and also park it. After the driving course I'm hoping we have a little less of the white knuckle business :). Anne...

We will be spending Thanksgiving Day on the road to Yuma.  I have a date with Jerry Ray on Friday morning  so I can learn how to drive  :). Anne & Jim Tucson, AZ
