I'm sorry y'all aren't going to make it, I enjoyed meeting you last year. liz , it was great meeting you last year, too! I will never forget running into you in the ladies room in the QIA building on the first day of the PowWow. You was hoop'n and a hollerin', like a kid at Christmas, having a grand ol' time, enjoying your first experience in Q. It wasn't until a couple days later that I was actually introduced to you. Good memories... Rats x 2, Jean. You will be missed. Um, I'm sure someone will miss me. I know I will miss y'all. You, Diane, I think you will be missing my avocados and chili relleno casserole, lol! It sure seems that 2016 is starting off to be the year when everybody's plans get changed against their will.

In costume rockpickerforever , sorry you guys did not make it. And yes, liar spelled LIAR. Hopefully one day. James, just for argument's sake - We WILL miss it, we have not missed it yet. The PowWow starts tomorrow (Wednesday), and the RTH BBQ at Tony's is not until Saturday. So I could still go. Nah, not gonna happen... Like I said, perhaps next year. I am extremely fortunate to live close enough to attend as many times as I have! (For those of you too far away - neener, neener, neener!) Just kidding.

I have not missed it in 20 years. Always incognito, every time, beard and sunglasses. Just lurking around. Ha, I wish. I would find it much more aggravating to be so close and not attend. Must take a lot of will power. All that good company, food and rocks...at least wing by Saturday.

So, better to live far away, so you have an excuse, huh? Thanks a lot, James. That makes me feel soooooo much better!
grumble, grumble, grumble....

I am driving over on Saturday. I will be at the BBQ! Gonna try to hit Pow Wow and Desert Gardens. When I went on the 1st, a lot of venders were not finished setting up. Mark, if you were in Wickenburg, why didn't you call me or stop by!

Being a Q virgin, I have no idea where to go exactly. We will be driving in from Vegas tomorrow and want to start at Desert Gardens. Could someone be so kind as to give be some directions on where to park, etc.? We are staying in Parker and will be there tomorrow and Saturday and heading back to Louisiana Sunday.
So excited to be out of Las Vegas and more excited to meet some of y'all.

Diane, I was just yankin' your chain... 'course you will, because I am so lovable, lol. And now that Mark K isn't there anymore, no trips for flat-tire-ite. Funny thing was, nobody seemed willing to decide (or even think about!) a field trip somewhere. If we had been able to make it, we probably would have just gone with the Q club, done the red-white-blue agate with then at their claim on Friday. Eh, I still have bunches of that Brenda agate from the last two or three times. I seriously need to start working some rock. (Yeah, how many times have I said that before?) I just wanna wish everybody a fun and safe time out there!

Park in front of the Diamond Pacific building or just to the right of it. Tony is next to it on the right...Desert Gardens. BTW. I "thought" about coming out again - just to let you guys know. Maybe next year. Lee #1

Can someone post a few pics from Quartzite please. I want to show a friend I'm trying to convince to fly out from Maryland.
Thanks Andrea

Mark, if you were in Wickenburg, why didn't you call me or stop by! I have no idea where you are. I drove by the old place, but it was dark and I assume you were not there any more. BTW, there was a horrible accident just down the road from Ark. I would not be surprised if there were dead.

Made it! Even though I don't post much, I have been a member of RTH since 2009.
I plan to be at the BBQ to meet some like minded folks!

Don't remember her name, but we had a nice conversation. She said something about missing the "avocado lady" this year, was sad not to get her avocado. LOL

Hmmm, or maybe the vendor just missed the avos, hard to say. Whatever!
