    Is anyone still in Quartzsite this time of year?

    I usually stay there through March. Oregon is much colder than QZ! It IS winter, so the weather will fluctuate but there will be plenty of sun. If it gets cold, sometimes I just go down to Yuma for a week or two.

    **** Lifestyle

    I keep reading "once in deep ketosis the strips don't work." I've lost 20 pounds on ****, have been in deep ketosis for 4 months, I keep my carbs below 20 per day, and my strips are still working fine. Maybe it just depends on the strips people are using. For me, the strips were affordable...

    Storing Food Without Refrigeration

    I don't have refrigeration. i don't refrigerate eggs or mayonnaise. I use yogurt for cereal when I eat cereal and it doesn't need refrigeration. I use canned chicken, tuna, salmon and when I want a fresh steak or pork chop, I go to the market. Fruits and veggies are kept in a cool dark place...

    Ripped Off at Jones Valley Campground on Shasta Bathtub north of Redding

    I’m sorry that happened to you. Honestly I think we’re past the times of our childhoods when you could expect NOT to be robbed. Unfortunately with so many tweakers living on the road it’s just expected if you leave anything it WILL be taken. One WRTR friend had her Christmas tree stolen from...

    Baja-Places to stay? Anyone going?

    I’m also interested in visiting Baja. I understand there are groups that caravan down after RTR each year. Right now I’m ‘stuck’ caring for my elderly mom but hope to be back in my van by July and I want to explore Assisted Living options in Mexico for mom so hope to connect with a group going...

    Stop poop bags from smelling for about $15. No I'm not kidding!!!

    I simply put my poop into bags made to hold adult diapers. Smell free. Inexpensive. Get hundreds at a time on amazon.

    Better Toilets

    Thanks Suanne. great information.  Also, I found some relatively inexpensive odorless bags on amazon that are used for Adult Diapers. One of those will hold several poos until I find a place to discard. But I think I'll try the metal canister once these bags are gone. ($$$)

    Looking for a tribe in AZ or CA

    I've been in Desert Hot Springs for a week and I'm getting itchy wheels. I'd like to head somewhere new. Is anywhere here camped in a group open to new folks? I thought I'd head to the slabs tomorrow. Have never been there but would like to at least see it. I've heard both bad and good, so am a...

    Can I safely do this?

    Well, just for the record I have a CO2 alarm installed near the floor in the van. I also use the buddy heater every morning in five minute increments as needed and as someone said five minutes is all you need. I never run it at night because I like sleeping in a cold room, having grown up on a...

    Anyone in Ehrenburg right now?

    Lake Havasu City sounds interesting. What’s the name of the gym that you go to there? Is it a planet fitness? I may just head that way

    Can I safely do this?

    Good morning! This heater may be used in a recreational enclosure or temporary construction work in closure with a remote refillable propane cylinder ONLY when the cylinder is located outdoors. NEVER bring a refillable propane cylinder indoors. A fire or explosion can occur causing property...

    Can I safely do this?

    Today I drove all the way to Parker from Quartzsite to buy a 5 gallon propane tank because I couldn’t find one in Quartzsite. I also bought a 5 foot hose which I thought would be plenty big. Note to self: read the directions before you go shopping. While I was hooking up my nice new propane tank...
