No. I didn't do one but can if necessary?

Is there a list of attendees yet?

I think we’ll just see who shows up and list them as they arrive.

 

[Lou Schneider]

First one there, see if our usual meeting place is available due to the construction, if not find another spot and post the appropriate directions to it.

 

[HueyPilotVN]

There is an area way off to the east, But they have warning signs before you get to close.

 

[PancakeBill]

We are planning on arriving on Thursday 1/26 for the rally. Leave on Sunday or Monday to go to a bluegrass festival in Florence.

Say hi to Dolly! Hope you're still dancing!

First one there, see if our usual meeting place is available due to the construction, if not find another spot and post the appropriate directions to it.

I see on a couple of youtube videos that they have started leveling the ground, and there is other construction equipment on site, so who knows how long, if ever, before they shut the openings in the fence.

The “official” rally is during the RV show, 21-29 January 2023. Some people come early, some stay late, some stay for weeks/months. During the rally we have a daily get together at 4:00, the Happy Hour Larry mentioned. There is usually somebody who coordinates daily walks, a few 4WD trips, casual get togethers to visit some of the interesting places nearby, etc. It is a rather loose arrangement, not something with lots of planned activities. Just park your rig in the designated area and you are automatically a rally attendee! If you decide to camp in town, just post it and you can see when folks are starting to show up. Bring some firewood (buy it in town), and enjoy.

Like Larry said, look at the previous year’s threads for places to visit. We like the historical mines and ghost towns in the area.

Hey all! I showed up several weeks ago for the show and currently at Quail Run RV Resort. I'll have to move to BLM on the 18th since they have no openings. I wanted to come early to check the area out since its my first time. Is the area you're all at close to Hi Jolly area? Seems I haven't located you all yet. Does anyone have a map pin drop?
Thanks all! You people are great!

We are leaving area 541 in the morning,,the noise of large earth moving equipment is NOT the reason I came here.. Today the earthmovers were right up against the west wash with graders and water trucks and just obnoxious noise.. We have decided on the east fork at the kiosk "split" and a little farther north than 541,, many very flat areas with smaller "rocks" to deal with... See you when you arrive..>>>Dan

 

[UTTransplant]

Dan, do you have a GPS coordinate for your new location? You should be able to get it on a GPS unit or the map app on your phone.

 

[TonyL]

Dan, don't forget to take the RV forum stone with you.

 

[Utclmjmpr]

Will do.>>>Dan

As Jackie said above, check out her link, but there is a lot of other information available on the web just by searching for "quartzsite show" (without the quotes) where you'll get a lot of links such as: Events - Quartzsite Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism -
