2017 RTR in Quartzsite

[cyndi]

Discount Solar and Solar Bill are the two places I'm familiar with

Firewood is purchased from local venders.  It is against the law to burn the brush, or import firewood. 

A bundle lasts a day or two for $5.

Let's go in on a cord 20 bucks each wad ye say I'm in

 

[highdesertranger]

is there someone in town that sells bulk? I would chip in. those 5 buck bundles are a rip off. highdesertranger

 

[GotSmart]

Firewood seems to sell for $150 a truckbed, or $20  a wheelbarrow.

Nothing neat Q, you have to get it on the way.

I bought some good wood from a woodmonger 395 just going out of town heading North in Bishop right hand side big chunks Not really cheap but it beat the pants off Vons

Hey All,
I made the summer RTR and hope to make the long drive for the winter one. How many of us from the east coast are heading out and when are you getting on the road? I'm thinking right after New Year is when I'll hit the road. Maybe a loose knit caravan can be formed?

Hey All, Maybe a loose knit caravan can be formed?

That might be more difficult than you think to arrange!

Most of us are leaving at different times from different places for starters.

Then, we all like to wander at different speeds. Some are cool with overnighting in W/M and hitting the road at 8 AM, others want a real campsite and aren't ready to hit the road until at least 10 AM.

I found that trying to set up a caravan with us was more like trying to herd cats....

And that was with us all starting out from the same spot and heading to the same destination.

8 AM? dang the days half over.

Just talked to friend in a LTVA he drove into our site and reported no one was there, Go to Ahrenburg. Less Ranger controlling.
And you will not be alone

Exit one is Ehrenberg. Go on the side that the big gas station is on, go east where the sign says dead end. The few of us here are about three plus miles south.
There are a few of us and we are scattered. You won't be alone but you may be on your own, meaning, there are no formal functions planned other than watching the sunset and cocktail hour.

Hi Greg,

I am leaving from the East Coast on January 1st.  I haven't made my route yet, but I know I am making a few stops along the way. Where are you coming from? I am in S.C.

I'm sure it would be very difficult. Thats why I said loose caravan. My thinking was if people were leaving around the same time we could meet then head out at our own pace. Chances are we would run into each other several times during the journey. By meeting first we would recognize one another along the way. Just thinkin out loud.

Caryn, I would be leaving from NY that first week of January.

 

[rvpopeye]

Exchange cell #s and stay in touch every night or so......better than nothing!

 

[sephson]

Well, I managed to get a few days off of work, so I'll be able to make it out there for part of the RTR.

 

[Zizzer_Zazzer_Zuz]

Suddenly with a small change of events this becomes possible. All depends on whether I can get my bus in the next few weeks. For a couple of weeks i think I can manage on basic amenities, bed, gear, water, bucket. Aside from the usual basics I MUST have enough electric and batterie to run my CPAP. I suppose I would like to avoid the appearance of a mobile meth lab but stealth is out the window.

What are the rules on maintenance and construction of vehicles while on site? I'll be lucky if I can get the seats out by January but I could run a shuttle bus to town!

 

[GotSmart]

Dont dump motor oil or any other automotive fluid.  

That is about it for rules.
