Dean, that is a pretty normal thing, we are all so afraid of bothering other people that we don't go say hello then they fell unwelcome and we feel shunned.

Someone has to be brave and go knock on the other guys door or you'll all just end up being alone in a group of people who came there with the specific purpose of meeting each other!!!!

Today's video is all about how to do that, I'd encourage you to check it out.

What Bob said!

I'm sorry that you're feeling left out but Erhenberg is such a large area that people often camp far away from each other and it's hard to get a sense of community. Try taking a walk around and if you see anyone outside go say hi to them and see what happens. Most of the people are probably new to this too and aren't sure what to do. Some of them may not have good internet and did not see your invitations.

If none of that works make sure that you attend the RTR in Jan. There will be so many people that you'll be sure to find someone to talk to!

I'm not in whatever group Mr Dean is discussing, but not all of us are on the road for the purpose of meeting others.  Some of us are on the road because we got our fill of having to compromise to get along in our previous life as a cog in the corporate world. 

No offense intended, but I like the lack of distraction.  And I am out here alone.  Somewhere in AZ.

That area is large. It goes back quite a ways from the entry road. Most people are within a 1/4 mile from the entry. There is no need to stop and park close to anyone. Go past the power lines to be by yourself.

I'm wondering how I'd meet people since I've always been an introvert on the outside looking in.
Here's the options I've thought of...
I'd have a list of folks I'd like to meet and I'd ask around.
Put your crvl handle in big letters on your vehicle doors, drive around slowly and wave. I'd be waving back and yelling, bring yourself and your babies on over here.
Or go for a walk. Your babies will bring them in like flies and boom the ice is broken.
And of course the main rule... Make it a short visit. Leave before your host is ready for you to leave.

At your camp. Put up a big sign with your crvl handle. Put it face down when you don't want visitors.

Go for a walk has been the most successful for me.  People who want to meet people are often sitting watching the folks walk by.   Those with their back to it generally don't seem to.  Many friendly people.   

Nice vibe,
