Okay, I know Quartzsite is still a ways off yet, but I need to get this information early enough to make a decision on dates and allow everyone enough time to plan for the event.

For those of you that have attended a rally at Quartzsite or will be attending in 2012, I have a short survey for you. As the nominated/volunteered Wagon Masters, Dave and I are considering holding the rally the week after the RV Show as the desert is pretty empty and there are still vendors in town. This hopefully will reduce the need to arrive early and secure a piece of land big enough to form the “Circle” which has become the trademark of the Quartzsite Rally and everyone should be able to stay for the entire rally and still be in compliance with the BLM Rules.

So on a scale of 1-3, how important is being at Quartzsite during the RV Show to you?
1 = Very important
2 = Neutral
3 = Not important

If we start the rally the week after the RV Show, there is a Hobby, Craft & Gem Show and following this, a Classic Car Show that happens in the “Big Tent”. This year I departed Quartzsite 3 days after the RV Show ended and the desert was pretty barren and there were still plenty of vendors in town and open.
The RV Show is currently scheduled for 21-29 January 2012 and we are looking to arrive at Quartzsite Wednesday 1 February 2012 and officially have the rally either 4-11 February (Sat – Sat) or 6-13 February (Mon – Mon).
