Quartzsite Az 2011

Tim and I completed our annual pilgrimage to Quartzsite.  6 years ago we were invited to go to that stretch of the Arizona Desert to drycamp with our straight (90%) RV brand group.  We had a great time and like anyone's first impression we were in awl of the numbers of rv's that showed up.  That was 2005.  It wasn't until 07 that we even herd there was a gay rendezvous area.  In 07 we counted 14 rigs.   08 we once again drove thru and noticed only a few more were there. 

In 2010 Tim  posted the event to the RainbowRV calendar , members promoted the gathering via  ;facebook ;Twitter ;Dig and Tim hit the  email Blasts hard.  This year there were almost 100 Gay and Lesbian Rigs at the gathering.   The event has a 16 year history  with RainbowRv I am told but we were never able to learn the origins of the gathering.  It kind of matters to me because I want to build a club and event history to maintain the appreciation to the folks that make the effort to bring us all together.   

The event has grown too large for one circle. Only the early group was able to be inner circle and the big camp fire ended up standing members 3 deep.  This year we adopted the mini adjunct  circle configuration of 'RainbowRV of Arizona'  and made smaller camps with several fires and social gatherings.  The layout may need some design work for next year but I think it worked well to maintain the warmth, and social ease.  I will open a National forum thread on planning Q2012 to help maintain the ease impromptu feel but remove the unorganized understated confusion that may come with next years expected 130 rigs.

Tim and I were able to run our quads with Tony and Eric. We didnt make it to the Tents this year but thats ok our bay is full of too much prior years RV junk. 

all the white structures are Rv's drycamping 100,000 rv's I am told and only about 40 hosebibs. We showed up with 110 gallons and went home with a good 50. lines are too long to flush and fill
