Just wanted to know if any of you nuts will be in Quartzite Arizona this winter. I have been doing alot of Internet research these past few days and am amazed at the amount of people that attend the shows and stay there for the winter. I realize that bus rallies take up most of your free time LOL but just thought i would check to see if this is something you folks attend, especially you Canuts.

We go to Quartzite every January for a couple of weeks, camp out on Paloma Rd. 5 miles north of town. We really look farward to it.>>>Dan

The place is full of RV'ers from Thanksgiving to Easter. Literally thousands and thousands of people dry camping everywhere. There are a few campgrounds with hookups, but most dry camp I believe.

WOW. Thanks for the update Larry. I haven't been there for many years and there sure has been some major changes. I used to go to Eagle rallies there.

My father-in-law lives there full time. I honestly can't see much to do there for more then 3-4 days a year. If you like the desert then I suppose it is OK but I really don't see the attraction.

KEVIN, The jist i get from it is that when the weather is in the low teen's, for many it's a great place to warm up the bones. Although i am nearing the big 50 my bones ache whether its summer or winter. :-)
And since I lost my bus conversion location i am thinking of taking her out there for a few months and work on her while boondocking. RJmule

Quartzsite news during the season from my checking there are over a average of 60 buses around in the BLM area's a lot of jaw flapping and help and ideas. Always a friendly bunch of folks at one rally this year I personally counted a 134 buses and I know I didn't see them all.
