Dumb question to those in area. I don't even know what state Q is in for sure. Have flights from local airport for $84 to vegas. Thinking... Bob
Ok answered my own question. 4hrs each way. Good roads and weather? Bob
Bob, we are just outside Vegas, 200mi to the Q. Weather is terrifical the roads are splendid! c'mon out! ;D ;)
Bob, something to consider, there is only one motel in Quartzsite. There used to be a couple, but I think only the Super-8 is still in business. We paid a "special rate" a couple of years ago and it was $116. Nothing all that close for alternatives.

Jim makes a good point but I'm guessing if Bob asked nice someone would find him a couch & feed him occasionally. I left my bride in Q one winter and flew home out of Vegas. I remember it as a 4 hour trip but I also remember thinking that Phoenix would have worked just as well.
Our travlin friends are moving over there the 19th to the 28th. So could probably have a place to stay. 3 couples..If we don't make it just might send them around to ck ya'll out. Rite now just one seat on plane but will ck back Monday. Just a last minute thought! Bob
Phoenix is closer than Vegas only 100 miles to Quartzsite from there,20 miles from Q to Blythe Ca 28 miles to Parker AZ plenty of rooms at the BlueWater Casino and motels in Parker and plenty of motels in Blythe
good luck
Phoenix is closer, by about 80 miles.

Evidently Phoenix would have worked better. So much for my memory.
Probably cheaper tix into vegas though.
From Q to the phoenix terminal is 2 hours doing exactly the speed limit. Just did it a few weeks ago.
Not far enough with my wife who is addicted to gambling...
UPDATE: can fly to phoenix for 376$ round trip for two. good deal. rental car 70$ for 5 days. Less than a tank of fuel. Awaiting reply from friends as to their firm schedule. Would be nice to visit them(they are on a 7 month adventure) that we could not go with them on. Then just have to pull trigger. Have met Rusty ,Songman ,Don and a few others from the other side of the Mississippi;Would be nice to put faces with some of the board members. The Airport mentioned was Sunny something (SunnyDale)? Would have more leverage to get it done with better half (Judy) if the couples are there (3 couples) we are old friends. Of coarse might get there and not want to come home. Any one need a bus brought back east?? Bob
Are you sure about the name Bob SkyHabor is the main airport Saquaro is in the same area name the air line for me and I can tell what terminal .Let me know if you are coming so I don't miss you
good luck
That's it. Sky ...Will see how it comes together. 50-50 now. Bob
Hope you make it out Bob.

So we will be running late to the gig. Probably not arriving in Quatzsite until the 26th. Will the 'after-party' still be going on? We'd love to meet some fellow nuts.

Mark with his MCI and me in the Prevost arrived at Rice Ranch today for a week or so. There is a car show Saturday so I'll have the Corvair polished up. Come for a visit Bob, it will be good to meet you. Fraser
Bob G.:
Please bring some pics of your steam engines, if we can hook up in Q, I know my son will love to swap a few steam stories with you.
Mike H.
Bob, this being desert (wide expanses ) and all, maybe if you slip the pilot a little some thing he can land you next to the big tent event in Q, just sayin' ;D
;D
Looking forward to meting you, Bob....and all the rest at Q.
We are parked directly south of the BBQ trailer....my coach has the Canadian flag on the breastplate of my MCI.
If we are not there, I'm the tall (6'4") balding guy with a short grey beard.
See you soon!
Mark
No Quart for Bob & Judy-- do to conditions soon to be corrected--- I had a relapse. Would have to bring BK along to drive ::) All though that would have been a exciting adventure. And stories for years to come. Will miss it. Truth is I have back problems and Monday stepped wrong (walking) and right leg is numb. Procedure scheduled Feb 1st--was already scheduled. Short recovery then will head to Florida to warm up and visit busnuts.
Good luck on the procedure Bob. If you need help with anything let me know.As you knpow I am not far away from you.
