Quartzite in 2018

From Jim and Tina Hoover

Tina and I plan to attend the 2018 Quartzite AZ RV show. The date of the show‎ is January 20th – 28th 2018. We have decided to invite others to tag along.  We made reservations for Jan 19th to the 29th at the Black Rock RV Park in Brenda about 17 miles from Quartzite. They run a shuttle over to the show several times a day. If anyone wants to go, ‎this will be a tag along. No agenda, no pot lucks, etc. Make your own reservation. Arrive and depart at your convenience.

If you even think you might want to go, call soon: 928-927-4206. Talk to Chris and tell her that you are with the Traveling Supremes. She is the group coordinator. You will have to put up a $50 deposit. You can get back $25 of it if you cancel within 3 days. The other $25 is non refundable.  For more information feel free to call, text, or email me.

2016/17 New Year Rally, P3

All good things must come to an end, even our New Years Rally.  We visited Goldwell Open Air museum, which was closed but still worth a visit.  Then we went to Rhyolite Ghost Town, and lunch in Beatty and lunch at the KC Outpost.  Some of us then went to Ash Meadows Refuge and then on to do a tour at the Opera House.

On the 11th the Hoovers went home, and the rest of the 14 of us went to lunch at the Furnace Creek Inn, followed by a tour of the magnificent historical hotel.

Sadly, we had to say goodbye and head for our respective homes (or next campsite).  Thanks to all for attending, and especially to Ted and Susan Kercher for setting up an excellent New Years Rally! To see the full report, click here.

Update

From Gail Smith:

I recently heard from Dave and Deanne Phillips that as they were reading a website that they enjoy online, they discovered the following web site about RVing:  click here .  Please check this site out at your convenience.

So now we are in the spotlight and were singled out as an “RV Travel Club that they like“! We feel this is in part due to the fact that, after many months of hard work and research by our website team, we now have our new website up and running! We are having lots of traffic and many visitors, possibly due to our new location on Google’s search engine list.

Other news, however, is not so good. Two of our members are undergoing lung surgery in the latter part of January–Jim Hoover (on the 23rd) and Carol Butaud (on the 20th). Please keep both of them in your prayers and let them know we are here for them!

Hope to see you all in Bullard, TX in the spring!

Gail Smith, President
