Blogger Fest info
A fellow blogger we met last year, at Bloggerfest has been in touch with me and wishes to host Bloggerfest this year in Quartzsite. That is fine with us, we can;t do it this year for personal reasons,and appears no one else is willing. I sent him the information I had and looks like he and his wife will put it together in January 2017. As it gets closer to January there will be updates I will post more and hope other Bloggers will pass it on as well. You can check them out Lorne Green and his wife Sue out here at there Blog "A place called away" .
Message I got from Lorne and Sue
Sue and I will be hosting the Blog Fest on January 28 2017 and to the best of my knowledge we will hold it in LTVA South La Posa somewhere. I guess the location can be determined at a later date. It will be an afternoon affair starting right after lunch and ending when everyone goes home. If you want to get the word out, go ahead so everyone has it on their radar to plan their travels around. Thanks for your help. if you wish to contact them their e-mail is aplacecalledaway@outlook.com.
After a few walkabouts this morning, I picked up a few things in town and cash from the bank.
Back home chatted with a neighbour from Cochrane Ontario for a few minutes. Secured our coach and hit the road about 10 am heading south to Yuma, warmer here than Quartzsite.

Yuma Proving grounds |
We know we are getting close when we see the crops on the fields.

Arrived at the Quechuan Casino by noon for a couple nights free camping here in their large rv parking area. Going to Los Algadones Mexico in the morning for new dentures. Had a bite for lunch and a walkabout the casino to see if there was anything new there. Nope not much has changed since we were here 9 years ago, no deals to be had, other than free parking and they do have garbage dumpsters here, bonus.
Now back home we drove about the area a found a wonderful free camping area just down the road, So we secure the coach and moved there, can setup our satellite dish tilt our solar because we will be here for a few days, yup we like this spot for an extended stay.

this works for us |

As I am posting this at 730 pm we are hearing raindrops on our roof, rare but we know it will not last long,
Glad that y'all dropped by again and hope you had a great day as well.

Where have we been this Winter
Unfortunately the weather forecast is calling for wind Friday PM and Saturday with highs in the low 60s for a few days. Hopefully it is warmer than Quartzsite.
ReplyDeleteIt is warmer than Quartzsite as usual.
DeleteWe spent quite a few weeks in that area last year. Nice to be by yourselves for a few days to relax and recharge.
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoy this area, the recharge is nice too.
DeleteWe are experiencing rain here in Quartzsite but very light and very mild. 59F overnight and 72 tomorrow when we move south as well. Good luck with the choppers!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteA little warm rain at this time of year is nice, it settles the dust for a few minutes, Travel safe a bit if construction on I-8 bit a nice drive.
Hope everything goes well at the dentist tomorrow. May the warm temperatures find you.
ReplyDeleteI am it will be pretty easy.
DeleteNo complaints on the weather from here sunny and warm pretty well most days, sure better than back home with all that snow.
Hope your weather continues to be bright and warm.
ReplyDeleteAlso wishing you luck at the Dentist.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
No matter what the weather it is better than Ontario Canada right now.
DeleteWoke up this morning to very wet streets. Obviously, it rained overnight. However, that's much better than the snow our kids are getting up north.
ReplyDeleteJust a light sprinkle here last night, we can deal with that no problem.
DeleteGood luck with your new choppers! Can't beat the prices of Mexican dentists. :c)
ReplyDeleteThanks, that is for sure excellent prices.
DeleteGood luck with the dentist. Enjoy the vendors.
ReplyDeleteThanks we always enjoy the vendors there.
DeleteWe hope to visit Quechuan Casino this time. We don't gamble much but just want to stop in and check it out.
ReplyDeleteThe casino has nit changed and we don't gamble much either, but there is free rv parking and close to Los Algadones.
DeleteIt'll be nice to get the dental work done. I feel good when I'm parked at Q Casino and close to the border. Once I'm there I can relax, parking and walking across is the easy part. Have fun in Mexico. :)
ReplyDeleteIt feels good, and day one is done, pickup new dentures tomorrow, yahoo !
