Donna and I have been sitting in the sidelines trying to hatch a plan to get west again this year. It now looks like we will get to Quartzsite for a couple of days, but without the coach. If things work out as planned, we have reservations at a motel in Blythe, but we should be able to get to visit at happy hour on Friday January 24 and pot luck on Saturday the 25th. Plus depending on what Friday or Saturday activities end up being, we will try to join in. But we won't be taking our rent a car up the trail so no one will need to help change a blow out.
One of the things that made our decision easier is that everyone says that it rarely rains during the Q Rally, we'd never know that from personal experiences. So, if it rains again, or if there is another micro-burst, we won't be happy campers, although we won't have the coach to enjoy the rocking and tearing of awnings, nor is it likely we'll head up to lunch overlooking the London Bridge.
It will be nice to see lots of you all again, or meet some for the first time, so Jeff since we're not staying with the group, it is up to you if you add us to the attendees.
Ed & Donna
