Desert Friends, Quartzsite, AZ - January 30, 2015

We have been at the Roadrunner BLM area for 8 days now. Our holding tanks are doing good so far. Our guages don't work worth a hoot, but no 'burping' so far. We plan to stay here for a total of 12 days, then move over to La Posa South LTVA area and dump and take on water.

Overall, the weather has been good. It isn't cold at night at all. We did have a few cloudy days, a windy one, and even a couple of rainy days.

Gina and Kyra were here at Roadrunner, so we walked over to visit them.

It was fun catching up with them. We hadn't seen either of them since the RV Dreams Rally in Oregon, 2012. They each made their way to the East coast and back. While there, we discovered this big geocache.

It was a big one.

One day, we went and found Tom & Cheryl. They are fellow Dreamers we first met at the Christian Fellowship SKP BOF Rally a few days back. We sat and chatted with them under their awning.

It was a really nice day and we enjoyed the shade under their awning and behind their sun shade. I commented about their sun shade. We gotta get one of these. And lo and behold ... they had a spare and gave it to me.

Thanks Tom. we like it!

This last week, the SKP Geocachers were holding their rally here at Roadrunner. I walked over and signed in, listened for awhile, then went out and logged 8 more geocaches that day. There are quite a few out here and Donna and I are go out and find a bunch more soon.

Then Thursday, the 29th, was our RV Dreams mini-reunion get together. WE had 16 of us there. Steve BBQ'ed hot dogs, everyone brought 'appys' and stuff, and we all sat around the campfire.

The campfire ring and one of the bundles of firewood is what Howard bought at the RV-Dreams Fall Rally in Indiana last year.

Here is a list of who all was there, and their 'handle' they use on the RV-Dreams Forum.

Howard and Linda Payne, who created RV-Dreams, have really created a family of RVers. If you haven't visited their web site, do so at www.rv-dreams.com. There, you can find a wealth of information on this full time RV lifestyle, rallies, the forum, .. and become one of the family too.

And a fun time was held by all.
