Big Quartzsite RV show set for January
The 25th Annual Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show is coming January 19-27, 2008 to the RV boondocking capital of the world, Quartzite, Arizona. From its humble
beginnings the now-massive show has grown to RV-epic proportions, drawing an estimated 150,000 visitors for each season's show. Admission is free as is camping on the nearby government lands, where RVers claim a bit of dusty desert soil for their very own. Quartzsite is no fun in the summer when the temp tops 100 degrees as often as not. In the winter, when the town of a few hundred permanent residents swells to tens of thousands at a time (most in recreational vehicles), the temperature is typically mild with sunny skies, so if you show up bring shorts and suntan lotion. Photos are from the 2006 show.Labels: 2008 Quartzsite RV show

Chuck as wannabe RVer, I have a question. When we do RV we will have to stick to areas without fire ants, he has a severe allergy to them. That's something getting harder to do as they seem to want to take over the U.S. Do you run into them in places like Quartzite? That place and the show fascinate me.
I have your blog on feed by the way.

While I'm told the little red ants in Quartzsite aren't true fire ants (my source calls them "piss ants") they do bite if they get the chance, and it does burn. However, if you're careful and don't get down on the ground with them, nor leave attractive food garbage lying around, we rarely deal with them.
My better half likes to toss the tied off kitchen garbage bags out the door for me to pick up. If they're left around for more than 15 or 20 minutes, the little boogers do find them. RD
