Fyi,

there is no late charge, so ya'all come!

Paul "Sully" Sullivan · 01-20-2012, 11:06 PM

100 + coaches, wonderful weather and as always superb food shared with friends. Wonderful job Karen & Rod we are all grateful for your efforts. Indianapolis next and then Marine Corps Air Station Miramar for the Air Show.

See you all there!

Where are y'all ??

We arrived in Quartzite this evening and looked around the campsites across the street from the main tent... No one was out and about... 6:00 or 6:30... all dark and pretty desolate so we figure you're elsewhere... Habe a pickup truck load of pallets for the fire too!

A quick refresher - my wife and I are seriously considering an Alpine coach and want to explore the Alpine Coach Family

Thanks in advance and see you tomorrow !!

Steve,
Go north on Hwy 95 thru Quartzsite. Go to Plomosa Rd. It is about 1/2 mile past the sign that says "Passing lane 2 miles." Plomosa is a right hand turn. We are at about mile post 3 on Plomosa. Left hand side of the road. You will see the coaches. There are just over a hundred coaches here. Tomorrow there is a jam session in the tent from 2:30 to 4:00. You should be able to find owners standing around, however if this wind keeps up, you might need to knock on some doors.

Thank you Jeff and Cheryl !!

I figured that the wind was a factor for no one being out and about in the campsites...

See you tomorrow!

Steve and Merrie W
