Ok so I’ve been watching on and off you YARC campers’ posts for a little while now. You sound like my kinda folks.

Can you fill me in on where you all meet and when during the year? I’m still in planning mode while living in stick and bricks until next year. But, I sure would like to meet you all.

Fill me in on clubs, other campsites, meetings and C’s “Putt Putt”?

Also, I’ve been struggling on which van to buy. I’m getting a new one. Which one did you choose and why?

I want reliable, ok on gas, ability to tow a small camper if I need to expand. Would like longer rather than taller but not sure which one is better. High top is not a priority but I’m open to it. I practically live outdoors and til bedtime right now on my back porch. Bad weather is the only thing that brings me indoors...

Appreciate all comments.

Jean

Oh by the way...
I am an artist/crafter/photographer...would love to design/make a vinyl decal for said “Putt Putt”.
Just wish I understood why it’s called Putt Putt. Small rig I’m assuming.

Give me ideas... I can make it. No charge.

Hi Jean InaBox most everyone will converge towards the Quartzsite area especially around the time of the big tent show and the RTR although it is being held closer to Parker this year. Many groups and individuals stay in the Long Term Areas of the BLM for a fee but there are several 14 day stay areas as well. What type of a vehicle if you have one do you have now? It would be a great idea to visit the area now and see all the different options available to you. Many people sleep in cars or tents or make day trips to experience, see and get advice from the many people that gather there. I'm sure most would be glad to talk to you.

Wish I could make it there. Won’t have the new van til next year. I have a minivan but I don’t trust it for that amount of miles.

Thanks for info.

Qxxx is BSing. I rarely go very fast as I like to be able to take a look around. I have gone fast but only to keep up in traffic on the highway if I’m on the road or if I’m in the desert racing the sunset. I don’t see the best at night and have to move a bit faster to get back to camp before dark.

I took three camp members yesterday to see an old stone cabin in the desert and to another place that has a cave, petroglyphs, and grinding stones.

Anyone wants to go I will find time for you to get you out to the desert.

Ohhhhhhh. That’s your Putt Putt!
I used to have something similar. Sold it last year in order to pair down.
And now I miss it. Lol.

Ok so what dates will everyone be there? What’s the GPS coordinates/address? In AZ near Flagstaff?

I probably would have to drive my Subaru. More reliable but less room which will not be easy with my Scooter. (Dachshund)

Will have to think about it some.

????? What????? It double posted on me.

Oh well I’ve seen it before happen with other posts. Always thought it was somehow user error. But I didn’t do anything unusual I don’t think.
