Episode 131: Quartzsite, AZ//Winter 2022

In this episode we travel from Benson, AZ to Quartzsite to join our HDT friends at the La Posa South LTVA. We begin by giving you a tour of our camping area and a look at all the HDTs gathered in Quartzsite. Then we travel to Lake Havasu City and the London Bridge, where we meet up with my brother and have a delicious lunch at the dog-friendly restaurant Burgers by the Bridge.
Join us for all the fun!

    We didn't even play the slots in Vegas, but Bubba did win $70 at the casino just east of San Diego. Unfortunately nowadays that won't even get us out of town lol. We have a feeling this increase in fuel prices is going to put a serious dent in everyone's travel plans. Stay safe and stay well you two!!!

    Unfortunately this summer we will be staying mostly in Arkansas so Bubba can do maintenance on the house and the yard there. We'll be taking some short trips, and we have to head to South Dakota so I can renew my driver's license. Not sure if we'll make it over to Montana but if we do I'll let you know. We would love to see you all again.

    Yo, the over dimisional load y'all passed looks like something I have moved in the past. Portland weather rain and cold. Still knocking on the sticks and bricks. Planning on retirement for January. Might have to think about buying a HOOVER WAGON with fuel costs going out the roof. Oregon diesel $5.79 a gallon.

    Good grief!! That's higher diesel prices than we saw in California. Now that UAE is increasing oil production, hopefully we'll see those costs come back down some. Congratulations on your impending retirement!!! That's an awesome thing to be looking forward to!

    @@TipsyMarlinTravels Where looking forward to hitting the road. Decided to scale back on the coach. Decided to purchase a used rig instead of the new one. $150k. Decided we can get a good used rig and then add our accessories we want. Have them put 9,000lbs Dexter axels with oiler hubs, air over hydraulic disc brakes. And about 3000 Watts solar. Going to purchase a Grand Design Momentum 398MR. Has a 18' garage. Going to put our vinyl cutter (54") plus our dye sublimation equipment.

    Search in youtube for HDT and semi truck RV. There is a group and Tipsy Marlin has done videos about the HDT group. HDT is Heavy duty truck, the medium and heavy duty semi tractors. This link will get you to their West Coast Rally 2021 playlist kzread.info/dash/bejne/Znl4xpqSoJrSnLQ.html

    There are actually a LOT of us running around out there. There really isn't a club per se, just the Facebook groups that have been mentioned. There are also rallies for HDTers every year - one in April in Tennessee (East Coast HDT Rally), Caldwell, Idaho in June (West Coast HDT Rally) and Hutchinson, Kansas in October (National HDT Rally). Each rally has its own website with additional information. We also tend to gather when several of us know we're going to be in the same area, such as Quartzsite in the winter. At one point there were 28 rigs with HDTs in the group.
