We will sure miss you Kris! I loved looking through your stuff last year! Maybe you could come for the weekend of the BBQ. Tony and Chris, Ralph and MaryAnn cook up some tasty food!! Plus the rock hunt!! Sheri That's what we're hoping, Sherri. We REALLY want to wander through Desert Gardens for a day (or two), stop in and see friends, eat a Silly Al's pizza :drool: and show off rock. Missed Tony's BBQ last year with a fever and the Crud, wanna make it this year! Here's hopin'! Kris

Looks like I will also be staying out in Brenda. I got a spot out at the Brenda RV resort. I should be getting there right around December 30th. Christopher, I could only find two RV parks in Brenda, Black Rock (where I'm staying) and Desert Gold. Is the Brenda place close to either of those (they are across the street from each other, I think)? Denny

If you blink on the highway, you will miss Brenda. There is only a tiny store and RV parks. I think there are only 4 or 5. They are all close cause Brenda is only a half mile long! LOL

I see more people are going now. I'll be looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones. My budget will be tight since we have sold our house and are buying a bigger one but I still plan to buy and am looking forward to doing some collecting.

Denny,
Looks like we are very near each other. I think the address to the place you are going to be at is 46751 and the one I will be at is 46251 and the one across from you is 46628. So I am betting that we will be right next to each other.

Somebody should make a map on google images of everybody's spot.

No google map needed, Brenda is only 1/2 mile long and only on the highway. There are no side streets. If you blink, you will miss it!

Can't miss him either...he is right next to the big Diamond Pacific building right out front at Desert Gardens. Call me when you get there Susan and I will show you.

Susan, there will be EZ guides out showing all the shows and listing dealers. I know Desert Gardens has all the spaces on a map. Park in the East parking lot near the big metal building. Tony is right by it. I'm a few rows south and 2 spaces west.

Pulled in this afternoon and parked. I can't get my box trailer with my tents and tables out of storage until morning. Then comes the real fun. Stop by and say hello.

If you don't want to wait until you get to Quartzsite to pick up an EZ Guide, you can get one online (and even print it out!) here: online.publicationprinters.com/launch.aspx?eid=581a7ca4-6fbc-443f-88ca-33aa48a37f73There are maps throughout the booklet of "floorplans" of the different shows, the run dates, and starting on page 35, is an alphabetical list of the vendors. By checking it out ahead of time, in the comfort of your own home, you can more easily make your plans. Jean

Quick question please. If I headed down there with 50 to 100 of my stone rings does anyone think I could sell them wholesale?
I wouldn't mind going down for a month or so and it would help pay for gas which for my Jeep would not be cheap. I could make the trip ok without selling them but it would leave me a little short and I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BUY ANY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Jim

You could probably find someone willing to trade rocks for rings if not buy them outright.
