Tika Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Has anyone any interest in a get-to-gether in Quartzite this comming year 2012? Darrel - - - - - - Yes, folks, reservations are now being taken for the 6th Annual Toyota RV Rally coming up in January in Quartzsite, Arizona. The town is located on Interstate 10, 20 miles east of the Colorado River (border with California). The dates are Friday, January 20th to Monday, January 23rd. This is during the first weekend of the huge RV show which is held there every year. Some folks in our group will be arriving as early as Thursday the 19th, and staying for the entire 10-day show. The RV show is a really fun event with free admission. A giant tent is erected with hundreds of vendors that cater to RVers. In addition the rest of the town turns into one giant swap meet. There are specific sections for antiques, gems & minerals, and new merchandise. Plus multiple other vendors in every possible corner and location. If you like to shop for bargains, bring lots of spending money. We will be dry camping together at an RV park relatively close to the show grounds. We're going to be close enough to walk to it. That way we don't have to break camp each day to go to the show. In fact, RVers coming to it from outlying areas have to park even farther away than where this RV Park is. (The distance is only .2 miles.) We're expecting about 2 dozen Toyota RVs again this year. The park's proprietors are very amiable and happy to help us save enough space for all our rigs. The fee for a 24-hour parking/ camping spot is only $7 per day. (One could easily spend a good percentage of that on gas each day just driving around to alternately find a parking spot and then a camping site.) In addition there is a one-time reservation fee of $8 to participate and to have us save you a spot with the group. Please make your reservation by phone, rather than email. When you call to confirm you are coming, you will get the specific location of where exactly to find us among the tens of thousands of RVers that will be there. We did say it will be a HUGE event, right? Friday night, and Saturday night, and Sunday night we will have a community potluck dinner. We eat whatever food shows up. Folks who aren't camping with us are welcome to come for just the dinner. Besides some food to share, please also bring lots of firewood for the campfires we'll have every evening. Where we will be camping we will not have hook-ups or restrooms. (This is because none of the RV parks with hook-ups will take large group reservations that weekend.) Therefore it is best to arrive with your tanks full of water and propane. Generators are allowed. Water from a faucet and porta-potties are near the park entrance. Showers, propane, and a dump station are available within driving distance for a fee. Bikes and/or scooters are great to have to get around in this town. Pets are welcome, but discouraged in the main show tent. The weather will be moderate during the day (60s) and cool at night (40s), and probably windy. We hope we won't get any nasty rains like we had two years ago. WiFi internet service is available in the RV park for a daily or weekly fee. Broadcast TV reception is practically non-existant, but cell phone service is terrific! To reserve a parking/camping spot with our group in the RV Park, please call (rather than email) and let us know which nights you will be coming, and how many folks and pets will be coming with you. You can send the $8 reservation fee via paypal or check. Upon receipt, you will get a phone call with a confirmation number, and the specific directions for how to find us. Upon arrival, don't be surprised to find that the RV Park is full of bus-sized RVs, which is why, in this first-come/first-served park, it takes some effort to "defend our turf." The moderate $8 participation fee is for us to save a spot for you and to help cover the costs of putting on the rally. The daily camping fee of $7 is to be paid to the proprietors of the RV Park for each night you stay. (Honor System, please.) This group rate is a discount from what the general public pays. To encourage folks to reserve soon, this Early-Bird price is for reservations paid for before January 5th. If you wait until the last 2 weeks, the reservation fee will be $10. If you have never attended a Rally before, don't be shy — we always have several first-time folks. PLEASE NOTE: In order to participate in the Rally with the group, and park inside the fenced area where we will be, YOU MUST RESERVE A SPOT IN ADVANCE. There is no limit on the number of rigs we can have, but we are only going to rope off enough space and hold spots for those that have called ahead of time. Call us at 626-798-4510 to put your name on the list. Leave a message if you get the voicemail for our business (health center). Call any day 11a - 9p Pacific time. Yes, it's gonna be fun!

Tika Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Hi again, folks, The Quartzsite event for Toyota RVs has been extended to include a second Rally on the second weekend as well. Due to schedule conflicts with many wannabe attendees, we have opened up "Rally - Part 2," on January 27-29th. The RV Show will still be going on at that time in the Big White Tent, and everything else is the same as well. Or you can come both times! Below now is a repeat of the original invitation with the updates. If you would like to attend, please CALL to reserve a spot. In this case opportunity knocks twice!
