| Gathering around the campfire at sunset, 2011 RTR. |
Bob Wells, the person who organizes the RTR, makes everyone feel very welcome. There will be workshops on things like -- solar power, staying on BLM land, work-kamping, medical/dental in Mexico, women travellers, etc. Also, Quartzsite's huge RV show is at the same time as the RTR -- offering anything and everything that a traveller could want. Quartzsite is a major snowbird hangout in the winter. At the RTR, we dry camp; that is, everyone brings their own water, food, bathroom, firewood, etc. ... yet, attendees shared freely last year ... and town is only 4 miles away.
I went to the first RTR this past January and really enjoyed myself. I talk a bit about my experience in a January blog post.
Rubber Tramp: "A person who travels and lives out of their vehicle (normally an RV, van, bus, etc.). They stop and stay wherever they choose for however long they want, but eventually, so as long as there’s a way to put gas in their tank, move on." (Urban Dictionary)
If you are a rubber tramp (full- or part-time), or are thinking about becoming one, consider yourself invited.
