Keep us informed, we're hoping to be back in Q by then. Hoping someone will let us know if the crowds start dwindling the weekend of Jan. 23rd so we know if we can come back and I can manage to work from Q for a while.

This sounds like fun! I am glad to hear such events take place. Can't wait to be a part of them when we start living the RV life!

Count us in! I know "work" is a 4 letter word for most of you, but since it's still an active word in our life, we'll probably arrive between 2 and 3, hopefully some of you will still be there!
Really wanting to be part of the RV Dreamers gathering in Q this year!! Thanks Steve for scheduling this after the big RV show, hopefully when we come back into Q on the 24th some of the crowd will have disappeared and bandwidth will be reasonable, otherwise it might be just a 2 day stop for us so we can attend!

Not sure if we can at the moment but just in case, wouldja mind an outsider from Havasu? That's where we are right now. That wouldn't be a bad day trip.

Lee and I are in. I'll bringing chicken and rice. Somehow I went a little rice crazy so good reason to cook some up. We will try to hold onto some firewood too to donate to the cause.

Indeed, wish we could pop in, thus the comment. Alas Chicagoland is where we are stuck for the time being unless something awesome breaks for us ahead of our planned start date. We live the RV dream, vicariously, through the exploits of others for now.
Bacon wrapped Jalapeno poppers.... candy to me. I had a wistful tear when DebbieM mentioned them.
Trace, I expect we shall cross paths sometime in the foreseeable future... can't wait.
NWescapee said
10:00 AM Jan 7, 2016
BTW, we'll be bring something for dessert, since we're arriving late I figure you'll all be ready for something sweet by the time we show up.
Steve - we don't generally have any firewood, but happy to bring our propane campfire if it seems like the crowd is going to be big enough that we need more than one source of heat.
pkhalin said
12:04 PM Jan 7, 2016
Ok, discussed it with the better half and I think we'll be there. Right now, it looks like we'll bring those tortilla pinwheels. Easier to keep something cool than hot/warm. If that changes, I'll let everyone know. Thx.
dianneandsteve said
04:16 PM Jan 7, 2016
Thanks Ruth And Dale. I'll let you know if we need the propane fire pit. A few of us have them as well. There isn't a fire pit at the picnic shelter and they may not let us build one so I'll have to confirm. Glad you're going to make it this year!
Trix said
11:15 PM Jan 7, 2016
I'll be there this year. Not sure what appetizer yet.
I'll be bringing new RV-Dreamer couple with me, on the road for two weeks!
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Count us in.....looking forward to it again as we had a blast last year!
We will be bringing a spinach, artichoke and cheese casserole and chips and Sue's Famous cookies!
Will also bring wood as well!

I checked the picnic shelter area and we would have to have a fire pit like the FERGS brought last year as shown in the above photo. The shelter is surrounded by parking areas. On the positive side we can run our propane firepits in the shelter which is a good thing if the weather turns. I'll bring mine and if you can as well Ruth and Dale we should be good.
Cheers!
NWescapee said
12:48 PM Jan 10, 2016
Happy to bring ours, we won't be arriving until about halfway through the gathering so hopefully it will not be too cold.
Also, we plan to bring a crockpot dessert, a chocolate pudding cake, you'll be guinea pigs as I am going to try a new recipe.

If it is OK we would like to change what we are bringing to a ham and cheese bake along with Sue's cookies! See y'all Monday!

Sounds good BIGBOOMER. I've been told by others that haven't posted that they will be bringing hot dogs and hamburgers.

Still hoping we can make this work, finally made it back to Q last night, however, not sure how long we'll be able to stay given the awful bandwidth and limited connectivity. Trying to get ready for a work meeting this afternoon (right in the middle of the football games, Dale is so happy about that, NOT!!). Have a client call tomorrow AM and I'm really concerned about connectivity. If this afternoon's internal call doesn't work, we may have to consider another option as the client call tomorrow is important.
Any suggestions regarding how far away from Q we need to go to have reasonable bandwidths? Connectivity is so slow, it's difficult to research other options. We were thinking Buckley HIlls, but not sure how the connectivity is there, but I can't get the Verizon data coverage map to populate right now. We may be showing up at the potluck with the 5th wheel in tow, heading away from Q right after the Dreamers event.
bigboomer said
09:15 AM Jan 25, 2016
For whatever reason connectivity has been awful this year....yeah we show 4G...but good luck...tried streaming with our Verizon MiFi last night to watch some 24 on Prime and no go.....
It should start loosening up with the show over and lots of folks already heading out....
See you this afternoon!
Howard said
03:31 PM Jan 25, 2016
We considered being there to join you but couldn't quite get the logistics worked out.
Still you just never know when we might show up at such events. :)
Have a great time!!
Workinrvers said
07:22 PM Jan 25, 2016
AT&T wasn't any better Les it was slow, slow, slow. We are sitting in Beaver, Utah tonight thinking about you all while looking at the snow all over the ground. Missing "Q" already
dianneandsteve said
07:47 PM Jan 25, 2016
WOW...what a turnout!! Great food and great company. Hope we have everyone's info correct and haven't forgotten anyone. Quite a few of us did meet Phil and Rudee Rubeck "Workinrvers" the other evening around the campfire. They have been working the Crazy Horse booth at the RV Show all week and had to leave this morning.
Howard and Linda this is a testament to what you have created and continue to foster! We all hope you can make it out west again soon.

So fun to meet many new people and great catching up with old friends!! Sorry we were late, but still happy to see everyone.
Knowing that a lot of people were leaving, we went home and Dale changed a couple of settings in our WiFi Ranger and our connectivity seems to be getting better so fingers crossed, we won't be leaving here tomorrow, maybe giving us a chance to join in a couple of the other social hours this week!
bigboomer said
08:55 PM Jan 25, 2016
Truly an awesome time! Well done Steve and Dianne on the coordination! So glad the that the picture came out even though the camera went limp (had to be there!)
Thank you to all those great chefs and bakers, hard to keep my svelte Amazon figure with all the goodies that were brought today!
Hdrider said
04:44 AM Jan 26, 2016
That looks like a great turnout!!! Sooooo sorry we had to bail at the last minute but I haven't been so close to heading towards a ER in a long time the way I was feeling. Had a big pot of chili all ready to go and now,,, well,,, we have a big pot of chili that should last a few days LOL!!
Sure hope a bunch of you will still be around for a few days, would love to say hi and catch up. After getting sick about 5pm on Sunday and spending 85% of yesterday stuck in bed I woke up this morning at 3am hungry which was great because I couldn't hold anything down yesterday and managed to have a few spoons of chicken broth and 2 peach slices all the time thinking about all the great people at the gathering AND all the great food!!!
I tried to get Diane to attend but there was no getting her to leave me, what a gal.
dianneandsteve said
07:02 AM Jan 26, 2016
