One of the best things about this RV lifestyle, is all the friends you meet while on the road. We have met the most wonderful people out here.
Here at the Escapees Christian Fellowship rally, there are 23 rigs with 44 people in attendance. Spending this week with them has been a blessing. We have been having a great time and it really feels good to get our spiritual batteries re-charged. God is good!
Last evening, we had a get together of a bunch of us RV Dreamers. RV Dreams is a website and community of full time, part time, and wanna be RVers started by Howard and Linda Payne. Through their educational rallies and get togethers, many of us have become life long friends.
We met at Al's Pizza in Quartzsite and had a wonderful time (good pizza too).
In attendance were Donna & myself (RVing With The Fergs), Diane & Steve (Steve and Diane's Most Excellent Adventures), Dave & Diane (Dave & Diane Throwing Caution To The wind), Ruth & Dale, Red & Pam, Tom & Cheryl, David & Debbie, Gina, and Louise. Some we met at a RV Dreams rally in Oregon in 2012. Some were new to us. But we all had common lifestyles.
Yep, a selfie!
Earlier that day, we attended the 5th annual Escapees Happy Hour. This event is held at Scaddam Wash, just east of Quartzsite each year. It is just a big meet and greet get together for all the Escapees in the area. And there are a lot of us!
This is a photo from last year.
This was yesterday's picture.
There was even a drone (toy) there flying around taking pictures.
Chris and Cherie of Technomadia were there as well.
A grand gathering.
Then today, the 15th, Gina along with David & Debbie came to visit us. We got to know David & Debbie and told many stories and reconnected with Gina, who we hadn't seen since the RV Dreams rally in 2012.
Another great day in the desert.
Love this lifestyle!
That is one thing that we really liked in our short time there. The chance to meet so many new people with common interests. Barb and I have been talking and we plan on spending at least a month there next year!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that. Friends abound! Love Q. We will see you next year in Q!
DeleteSuch fun Fergs! Wish we could've been there with the RVDreamers. It's so great to meet others while on the road. It is a great lifestyle :-)
ReplyDeleteA mini RV Dreams reunion is so much fun. What stories we all have! Hope you guys can make the next one.
DeleteWhat fun Fergs! Wish we could've been there with the other RVDreamers! Meeting people on the road is one of the best parts.
