The Rubber Tramp Rendezvous just keeps getting better!

I just returned from the 2nd Annual Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, in Quartzsite and I am already looking forward to RTR 2013!

I met people whose blog I have followed and/or chatted with on the Cheap RV Living forum. And plenty of attendees of last year’s RTR returned for the gathering.

I wasn’t as mobile as I would have liked (new knees on order, installation expected in April! YIPEEEE!!!!) so I didn’t get as many pictures but I’ll share those that I did. I’m also learning to use a new camera and was less than satisfied with my efforts.

Dome Rock Campsite Tuesday, 1/10


Each morning begins with various people meeting for an early morning walk.

There was a schedule of informal seminars/discussions and several impromptu colloquiums were held, also.

Brian shares information about camping on the Gulf coast of Texas

Izzie listens eagerly to the discussion. He's ready for the beach, Gary!

Cheri teaches the art of wire wrapping gemstones.

By the weekend about fifty rigs had arrived for the gathering. Vans, cars, tents, 5ers, TTs, Class Cs, Bs and As were all well represented.

 

Looks like blogger is done letting me upload pictures so this is it for today. I'll keep trying!

Below are links to other blogs referencing RTR 2012

Rocky the Goat made the scene. If he was there, why were't you???

It was great to see Many Wheels Bri, again.
