    Ehrenberg after the RTR? Anyone heading there?

    I am thinking of heading to Ehrenberg as Quartzsite is getting to crowded. I have camped there before many times. A good place to regroup after the RTR. Observing the 14 day limit of course. If new timers are unsure of where to go this could be an option. Any thoughts?
