2017 RTR in Quartzsite

[Iggy]

I would like so much to be able to come.  I don't know how long it takes to get from Washington state to Quartzsite in a slow vehicle though.  I'll make a slowish beeline there, I guess!

It takes about 3 days of driving, if you go straight there. I'm in Salem, Oregon and I take it slow, like you. For the last 3 years, I've taken off after Thanksgiving and driven down the Oregon/California coastline. Takes me a month to get to San Diego. Then a half day to arrive in Quartzsite on the day it starts. It's much more fun to travel slow and explore as you go. And the expense for gas is spread out over a longer period time, so it isn't so shocking. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

I'd guess leave when you're ready and take your time, arriving early is not a problem.
Last year I arrived in the Quartzsite area in November, before Thanksgiving Day. I had no problems living free in the desert in either Quartzsite or the Ehrenburg area.

After the RTR was over I hung out down by the river in Ehrenburg for awhile then went down towards Yuma & out to the hotsprings by Holtville. Free camping, great people and comfortable weather.

From Becida, rob. hung out with some great people, you sure did! We had some fun campfires and good meals didn't we?

After so many years of fulltime travel it seems like the whole country is a big RTR to me.
I have RVing friends everywhere and am always finding them over and over wherever I go.

Have fun folks , I'll be thinking about you while I shovel snow off my roof !!!!

We are hoping to be there but can't leave northeast until after Jan. 1.  It's a long drive especially in winter conditions.  So fingers crossed we can make it finally. (and the four legged one of us can't drive).

A 21 hr drive, & that's down I-5 (boring but generally better winter weather). I usually did it in 3 days.

Good luck!

everyone please take your time and drive safe. it doesn't start until the 10th this year so even coming from the north east you should have plenty of time. if you don't make it by the 10th don't worry late comers are always welcome. highdesertranger

Heyyy pal I wondered if you'd ever make it on this forum. Someone let you back in the house after last year's RTR huh? I'll be driving all the way from the northeast to get you drunk and hear you sing again. P.S. Sorry I didn't take your hat, my bald head prefers hoods.
