Time is approaching. Can we try again to see who will tell us that they are coming to Quartzsite?
Teri and I plan to be there on the 13th. Our plan right now is to park south of Q. about 4 miles with a bunch of other hams. We will be visiting everyone that we know. There are clubs having rallies and we will visit each one that will let us. We can pay 40 bux and get 14 days use of the dump and water. Or, we can stay in an rv park, very near by. Or, can camp down on the free land with Teri and me. Since we only get 14 days and we plan to be there about 20, we want to not pay the 40 dollar fee until we are within the 14 day period of going home. I hope that makes sense. If you have never been to Quartzsite, never fear. It is very easy to find everything and everyone. This is one fun period. Lots of great GMC folks, bus nuts, and ham radio operators. I think I have Ken B. talked into coming so, come meet Mr. Celebertie himself. I promise you will have a BLAST.

You haven't found me a place to land there yet. I need about 3,000 feet without any large rocks.

Ken, there is a runway on the north side of I-10 do not try landing
out in the boon docks as all the RV put stuff all over the place. I
think it is a dirt runway as light plains use all day long.

I went looking but found nothing at Quartzite. The closest I found was Blythe, Ca.
I'll go look again. Is this place right next to I-10 at Quartzite?

Yes, they pull gliders all day long and all the parasails use it, I'm
not use how long it is, I would use Blythe 1st and check it out later.
Blythe is only 17 miles for Quartzite.

Call the correct number. You called my cell last night. I'm not tethered to that thing so I do not hear it. Call my home phone.

Dan,
We have a good friend that lives in Bouse, about 15 miles away from QZ. Sue
owns a large sign shop in Anaheim. Her and her late husband have a couple of
acres in Bouse with some houses and 40 vintage tractors. They used to have
52 until her husband passed away early last year. She is in the process of
selling them. If anyone going to QZ is interested in acquiring a piece of
American vintage farm equipment please let me know. Sue spends a few
weekends in January and February on the property and can show you what is
available. There are all types and makes. Some running, some not. If anyone
would like Sue's contact info please send me an off list -email
gtw5@earthlink.net.
Thanks
Gary and Joanne Worobec

I do not want to ring them all. Those two numbers have completely different functions.
Do not call my cell phone as I will not hear it tonight after I get home. The cell phone stays in my truck.
