A Nice Relaxing Week At Road Runner BLM Area, Quartzsite, AZ - January 19 to January 24, 2016

The Road Runner 14 Day BLM Area is our new home for a week. We arrived with a full fresh water tank and empty holding tanks.

There are 5 BLM 14 Day Area around Quartzsite. They don't have sewer, water, or garbage bins, but work great for a week. After all, it's free!

Here is the Host, where you are supposed to sign in for your 2 week stay.

This is a pretty good sized area and you can park with other friends or groups.

This is the Quartzfest, a ham radio group.

This is where the Geocache rally will be next week.

Or, with plenty of space, you can park by your selves for a little private time. Here we are.

During the last few days, I managed to wash the RV. I used gallon jugs of water and a sponge.

It turned out pretty good.

I also plugged in the Tire Pressure Pro and my air commpressor, and topped off all my tires.

We are just about ready to head East a thousand miles or so.

And of course, we mingled with the crowds at the 'Big Tent'.
And the sunrises and sunsets....

A camera just can't capture what the human eye sees. Awesome!

Today, we went into Blythe and visited with Scott, Melissa, and Brock & Mia. Scott is  Donna's son. We had a great visit during the Denver/New England game.

It's gonna be a blast!
Happy me!

La Posa to Road Runner, Quartzsite, AZ - January 17 to January 19, 2016

We stayed 3 days in La Posa South, The BLM LTVA area. We were parked by 6 other RV Dreamers.

There are some really different kinds of rigs out here.

 Here is a fifth wheel with 10 solar panels on the roof, and he has 10 6 volt batteries too.

Here is a guy that lives out here in the desert in a boat.

And of course, the really neat sun rises and sun sets.

We made it to the big tent (the Big Event). We picked up a few things. And here is me in the big tent, and with Flo.

We met up with a couple of my High School classmates. Bill & Debbie were boondocking out here for the winter. We met up at our rig and caught up on things. The last time we saw them was back at our 45th High School reunion in Washington. Is this a small world, or what? I wish I remembered to take some pictures.

Then we moved out to the Road Runner BLM area.

And on the 19th, we drove back to La Posa South to a get together with a bunch of RV Dreamers. There were 26 of us there. Red & Pam, Tracy, and Steve & Debbie put on a fish fry. Everyone brought something and it was a great get together. Here are the pics I took.

And we have another RV Dream mini reunion on the 25th. There is suposed to be around 42 people there for that one.

Good times....

Christian Fellowship Rally in the Desert - January 8 to January 16, 2016

We lifted jacks and left our RV Dreamer friends at La Posa South, and headed north 12 miles to our Rally site off Plomosa Road.

We got parked and got our solar panels up.

There was just one other rig there. Donna and I are hosting this Christian Fellowship rally. We are an Escapees BoF (Birds of a Feather) group.

For the next nine days we will have 21 rigs here, with 38 members, with their pets too.

It was a great time of praising God and fellowship.

We had morning devotions, and campfires almost every night.

Marshmallow and s'mores.

A hot dog night.

Here is our birthday girl. Happy birthday Karen.

Oh yes. Potlucks too!

We all headed over to the Escapees National Happy Hour one day. We had to make sure we were there for the group picture. I'll post it when it comes out.

Campfires are sooo... cool at night.

On Thursday, we served a bisquits and gravy breakfast to the Solo group parked just west of us. We fed over 60 of them. It was great!

We also had a brown bag auction. This is where you bring something to auction off. All proceeds go to CARE. You never know what you might end up with. I got a VCR and a battery fill-up jug. Good fun, and we raised several hundred dollars for CARE.

Here is our group photo.

On Friday, we had a concert in the desert. The Haining Family came and played for us. They are a gospel group from Branson, MO. It was wonderful. We had almost 100 people come for the concert.

Then our last potluck.

I think I gained a few pounds this last week. I love potlucks. I gotta try everything, you know.

We had such a good time this last week.

Early Saturday morning, we said our goodbyes and moved back into the La Posa South Long Term Visitor Area.

We are back with our RV Dreamer friends.
We are the ones on the left, with the little red Jeep. Lee took this pic with his drone. Pretty cool!

Man! We love this life.

Stay tuned....
