Well, now we have shared laughs, drinks, stories and friendship; now is the time to keep in touch. Since the Classes of 2007 and 2008 are starting up; here is the spot for all of the 06'ers to keep up with each other. Let us all know how you are!

I'm new to rving and have some questions. What qualifies you as "Class of 2006"? What is going on at Quartzsite that everyone is looking forward to? Finally what is an SKP number? I've been reading everything I can to learn the special language of rvers. Thanks.

Welcome..............

Here are some answers: a SKP # is your personal membership # that is given to you when you join the "Escapees". The "Class" destinction refers to what year you started fulltimeing...MIke and I started 09/03/06...so we are of the "Class of '06"...

Quartzsite is a town in the middle of the desert close to the CA border in AZ. There is a HUGE RV show here this time of the year...and because of that, there has grown a huge Destination Point for RVers of all kinds...some stay all winter, some a month or two or some stay simply a week like we are...

One of the reasons that we were all so excited to be here was that we have all met right here on the Escapee Forum...talked to each other for as much as a year or more...now we are having the chance to meet in person and share our stories face to face...It truly has been fun...

Thanks for helping me out. I guess that makes us part of the Class of 06 as we began full time RVing on Dec 1, 2006 and love it as well. However, we are just learning as we go an there is a lot to learn. We are in Benson, AZ this week after getting stuck in Fort Stockton, TX last week due to the bad weather. Hope the tempertures continue to climb!

Hi all,

We are leaving all our new friends in Q on the 25th and will ultimately end up in the SF Bay area for two weeks beginning on February 15. If anyone is in the area, we will be staying in Gilroy, so just post your location and we will get together.

Safe travels all,

Gordon and Juanita

Hello All,
I am heading out tomorrow for Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. What a great get together it has been for me in Quartzite. I truly enjoyed meeting all the '06 graduates that gathered in La Posa. Hope to see all of you again on the road. Stop by and say hello if you are down by Galveston anytime through May 15.

We're moving today up to Salome until Feb. 4th. We'll be at Desert Vista - got to get the dust/sand washed out of everything and get our tummies use to eating normally again. Big Grin

We're going to Yuma from the 4th to the 11th and then on to Casa Grande for 2 weeks. If you are in the area, give us a hollar.

Loved being with everyone this past week - feel almost like we're leaving our family again. Frown

We didn't make Q, but almost feel like we did because of all the great photos. Thanks so much, Gordon and Charlie.

We're on S. Padre Island, TX and will be in Corpus Christi on Feb. 15 for 2 weeks. Then, I think, we're headed to Galveston. We might be able to work out a get together, Judy.

This is a great idea to keep track of where folks are and I hope it keeps going. We haven't met an SKP we didn't like. Must be something in the genes (jeans?)

Chris and Cathy,
Meeting up in Texas would be great. I look forward to it. I just hope I have internet access when I'm there.

Karen and Larry,

You beat us over to the coast!! We are in Indio near Palm Springs until departure on Sunday over to Santa Barbara. We have a real seafood deficiency that needs to be cured. We are also in the process of eradicating parts of BLM land that rode along with us. We enjoyed meeting you in Q also and expect to see you sometime down the line.

Safe travels,

Gordon and Juanita

We're in Salome now - but internet service is a little spotty from our rig. I think there is someone else in the park vying for the connection with us. We drove the 5 miles down to Hope and have a better connection.

We've been out geocaching - but unlike Gordon who is doing easy terrain (1s or 2s) we are tackling HARD caches in the desert. Will post pictures on the blog tomorrow.
