Hey. Is there space left in the desert?

Heading out for my first-ever Quartzsite experience. I realize it's too late for the rally, but from what I've read, that may be a good thing. Plan is to escape the cold, leaving western Missouri on Wednesday 1/29. Meander west on US 54 thru OK panhandle on way to Tucumcari (Which, I am convinced, was the inspiration for the Cars movies). I have folks to visit in Albuquerque, Globe and Phoenix. Idea at this point then is to wander towards Quartzsite and hang out there for a while.

    plenty of room- we'll be leaving next week :)
    Make sure you eat at Silly Al's while you are here! As his sign says, if you haven't eaten at Al's you haven't been to Quartzsite! Yummy!

    You won't have any problems at all finding a place to park....desert, BLM, or private rv parks.

    BTW... it's spelled "Quartzsite".

    Have fun.

    The big show of the season is over (RV show) so by the time you get here in February there will be plenty of spaces.

    Q is thinning out fast. By the time you get here you should find no problem finding a spot on the BLM. Short term or Long term. Also looks like a lot of openings in the RV parks in town.
