RTR Chatter

Actually, the highs have been in the 50's, lows in the 30's. A little cooler than average. And we did have some rain.

Sure is pretty today

I wish I could have made it to RTR but I am enjoying the pics and hope y'all will post more. I have never seen the desert. I am looking forward to seeing it in person.

Just so you know, SSW, seeing Quartzsite is not seeing the desert.

I plan to see it all mockturtle. Hoping to stay West for awhile since I have never really been off the East Coast. I have been to Kansas and Missouri in the last couple of years but didn't get to do much by the way of exploring since I was on military bases each time. I also want to see Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. I have a friend in CA I will be visiting as well.

Great! You will love the west! Hope to see you out here.

Such an exciting night. A wonderful chili dinner followed by a campfire then to top it off, our own fire performers. It just doest get any better

After a fun evening around the fire, I headed back to my camp but I didn't see the rope light by dannys van so I thought I was going the wrong way. Ivy was no help, she was tugging on the leash. I turned and went another way and fell over a bush into a culvert and totally peed my pants. I tried to call almost there, beth, so she could wave a light or shout out to me but she didn't answer her phone, then I remembered she was still at the fire.
Then i saw a lit up tent with someone sitting outside of it and asked if they had a flashlight to help me with. They didnt hear me so i stumbled closer and could see it was actually a little moter scooter parked by the light. Finally I found low techs encampment and got my bearings and made it home.

I banged on Danny's van door and told him what happened because he didn't have his rope light on. It was broken and he laughed at me for having a misfortunate adventure a few hundred feet from the campfire.  Im still laughing at myself.

Friends of mine, Mic & Cheryl, got into town from Canada and will be pulling into here tomorrow. Mic çomes every year, this will be his first RTR.

Our numbers continue to grow daily.

@bindi&us
I concur with the assessment that the number of technically homeless people in that area continues to grow within this time period. Why do I have such a difficult time maintaining a postive attitude towards these people?

 

[WheelEstate USA]

What bothers me is the homeless who make a living year after year begging on the corner with cardboard. Rather than trying to improve their lives, they are happy to live on handouts.

I see ragged out vans, loaded with backacks and 7 youngsters pile out and go to work with their signs and gas cans, filthy clothes/hair, and no desire to better themselves in any way.

We see none of that attitude among our RTR group.

Alcohol may have been involved.

 

[BradKW]

This actually made me shiver. I turned the AC up a bit...

Thanks

Well, I didn't win Powerball, or else I'd be rolling into the Q in a screaming new Roadtrek. So I'll just say, "Hi" from freezing cold Washington.

 

[Dewave]

Nobody won..... current PowerBall is 1.3 billion

Mic & Cheryl, friends of mine from Canada came in today to check out RTR.
