We had a great week, visiting, taking day trips around the area and eating Jere's hobo stew that we always have every year. One of the days, a group of about 6 of us drove up to Prescott, Jerome & Sedona. A fellow member, John, took Ron, Margie & I in his rental car and Charlie & Lynn rode his motorcycle. Good thing Charlie and Lynn were well dressed, because we got up to around 6,000 ft and there was snow up there!
We got there on a Friday and stayed two nights. It wasn't too busy yet, as the big RV tent hadn't opened up yet, but, there were plenty of vendors open for business. We met up with Ken & Maryanne Watson, who were selling Magne-Shades windshield shades. Margie even bought one from them. It was going to take three weeks to get it, so we haven't even see how it looks yet.
On Sunday, Margie's niece, Becky & husband, Phil, had to leave to go back to work the next day, so we all decided to leave and drive up to Wickenburg. It was a very pleasant drive and we couldn't believe the weather was so warm. Usually, in years past, when we've had the rally up there, it's been very cold and windy, but, this year was definitely an exception.
When we got up to the campground, fellow members Jere & Ronnie Brannon and Ted & Jeri Nowell were already all settled in. We all found a spot to park and found out that when Charlie parked his bus, his alternator had died, again. Apparently he'd had problems with it on the way out to Quartzsite. So, he was going to have to take it apart again and try to fix it before he could drive it again.

Hi everyone! Sitting in one spot at a friend's house isn't too exciting day in and day out, but, we did manage to get away in mid January. The Flxible bus rally was coming up, so we left here about a week before it started and made a stop in Quartzsite to meet up with fellow bus member, Margie Valles who was in Q, visiting her niece and husband with their RV. Another member, Charlie and his girlfriend, Lynn showed up as well. They were the hosts who were putting on the bus rally. We thought we'd all caravan up to the city park in Wickenburg to meet other bus members for a pre-rally.
