Alfa Roadrunners at Quartzsite 2010

The above link is a picture of the Alfa Roadrunners that attended the Quartzsite Campout in 2010. Over 50 were in attendance (abt. 30 rigs). We have about 200 members. The Alfa Roadrunners are a group of fulltime RVers living in our Alfa Motorhomes. We try to get together several times a year. We gather at Quartzsite each January during the RV Show (usually the third week of the month).

Sunday Night at Quartzsite

Most of the Roadrunners left Sunday morning, but a few of us stayed behind. At sunset Bud fired up the campfire. Someone suggested we watch the football game around the fire, so John brought out his small TV, connecting it to his satellite dish. Will crankied up his Honda generator and we were ready to go. We passed around peanuts, cheese and crackers, and ham and pineapple chunks until they were gone. It was a fun evening.
You gotta love this lifestyle. What a great bunch of people in our RV family.

We decided

Our Last Day at the Quartzsite Campout

We gathered together for breakfast and supper on this beautiful day in the desert. We ended the day with our nightly campfire. What a wonderful time we have had with the Alfa Roadrunners at the Annual Quartzsite Campout. Until we meet again.....happy trails to you. May you travel safely. Hope to meet you again on the road.

Robin took this picture from atop a rig. Our club was formed to socialize and have fun and that we do.

It's Raining Cats and Dogs in Quartzsite

Willard relaxes with old Western movies while it rains cats and dogs on our Campout.  But, between storms we have managed to have Coffee and Donuts, Happy Hour most days, Breakfast in a Bag, and two evenings with Heavy Hors d'oeuvres. We even had our Hobo Stew dinner. We have shopped at the RV Show and the World's largest Flea Market. Today we went to Parker, AZ to deposit a few $$ at the Casino and pick up some items at Wal Mart. One night Willard and I played music around the campfire. And best of all we have visited with many of our RV friends. We have about 30 motorhomes in camp so far.  Life is good.

Rocky naps between his daily walks.

We had to pospone our Beer Pancakes and Weenie Roast for another day (hopefully Friday). Our Potluck Dinner and business meeting is scheduled for Saturday. The sky is clearing, so it just might happen. I think I'll stick around to see what happens next.

It's My Birthday

Dan called at 7:30 to wish me a Happy Birthday. I was more than happy to crawl out of my nice warm bed to talk to my "baby." He was on his way home from work, the evening shift. Joey called a little later too. It was good touching base with the kids.

It's been raining on and off all day accompanied by a cold south east wind. I think the sun peeked around a grey cloud a couple of times. I've spent most of the day on the computer or wrapped up in a blanket while curled up in the recliner watching movies in front of our warm "fireplace." Bill and Karen came by and brought me a tortilla warmer. They are down from wintering in Salt Lake City while Bill recoveres from a shoulder replacement. Graceann and Charlie came over with a delicious chocolate birthday cake. They are here in Quartzsite camping with the Ham Radio Club.

Robbie called. It was so good to hear from him. And later in the evening Randy called. What a nice surprise. Wonder what will happen next?

Goodbye 2009

December was not a good month for us. First I injured my back muscle and couldn't move around for a couple of weeks. Then Willard got his first cold since retiring. And he gave it to me. Christmas was uneventful because of our being sick. We even missed the New Year's Party. (So sad)

Now we are in the middle of January and at Quartzsite for a week of R&R at the Alfa Roadrunner's Campout. It is wonderful being able to meet up with many of our RV friends again. Later....gotta go....I hear another rig coming into camp.
