Ehrenberg 2016/17

Where do you folks make camp around Ehrenburg?  North or south of the Interstate?

The photo/map at the bottom helped me most. Step by step directions after you get off on exit 1. Even goes down to the 10th of the mile.

Anyone know how the Verizon LTE is at the Ehrenberg site? Thinking of heading that way before the RTR but have to have LTE/4G to work.

 

[Almost There]

I use Verizon and have had no problems getting good 4G or LTE all over the area.

We went down the river looking for campsites and ran out of 4G about a 100 yds past the power lines. Nothing but 1X down there but that's at least 15 miles down the river.

You will find yourself confused though, most of the time you're bouncing off of cell towers in California with an hour time zone difference.....

Thank you! lol on the timezone.....my clients are in Chicago and I've been in FL for the past few years so I'm always confused on timezone!

I know when I get out in the trailer that one of my favorite things is losing track of time and day. I don't plan on a visible clock in the trailer and don't own a alarm clock. Then again it's not needed much when you consider 6:30 to be sleeping in.

We just got into Quartzsite around 6 tonight and are camping in the Dome Rock area for the night. We will make our way to Ehrenberg mid-morning tomorrow!
We can't wait to meet everyone.
Peace and blessings!

There are about 40 of us here and you can't speak for 40 vandwellers just like you can't herd cats! I think the majority of us will be here until the RTR, but I'm pretty sure a group is getting organized to caravan down to Mexico.

By the time you get here, there will van dwellers everywhere--like a Biblical plague!

How is the grocery shopping down there? I ask because while I can get dry goods, freezing temperatures pose a issue for wet goods and the fridge doesn't like below 20F. I'd almost rather put off the shopping until I get down there and can relax.

Blythe has fairly good shopping it's just across the bridge in CA.

"like a Biblical plague!" oh no not the locust.

Thank you HDR. The forecast is hovering on the edge of too cold for the fridge but at least it's clear so far.

Vandwellers descending like the plague !
I bet it will seem like that , there have been SO many newcomers joining up lately.
The tribe is becoming a TRIBE !

Hi, I'm a "newbie" in my Prius. Thinking of joining for a few days. Still room for me?

 

[Oopslala]

I'd say there's a fair bit of room remaining

Sailing VANessa,

They will be parked next to the white van.

If it gets too crowded there you could come join me. There's a large flatish gravel area about a mile away, and many smaller spots around. There's a building with lights on all night only a few miles away, and some antennas in the other direction. Less than 50 miles to Blythe, Brawley, or Yuma.
