Do the woggers park in a certain spot? 4. Whats there to do around the area?
Just thought Id start a conversation about it.

1) Dirt, dust, dry. WOG generators mind the quiet times so sleeping is easy. Cool nights, warm days. Lots of fun people to eat and drink with.
2) I might make it, I don't know yet.
3) Yes
4) There's some really good wheeling up by Parker if that's your thing. The big RV show is going on during the rally and there are some useful junk vendors outside of that. I bought lots of cheap stainless bowls, stuff like that. Drive around the LTVA and gawk at the insanity, but there might not be as much of that this year with the higher fees. There's a nudist group that would welcome you with open arms. Some guy was offering welding services so I had him do a little project for me, that was neat. It really is pretty interesting out there. I got a set of new steer tires put on, they came right out into the desert to do them while I was out wheeling

We went WITH 1st timers last year. HE, had been reading the information posted by the “regular attendees,” stating to “conserve water, shower in a cup of water!!!” I might not have this wording exactly correct, . HE, was being VERY conservative! SHE, was not very happy!! You know the ole saying…….. even though we, repeatedly said, “Dump and fresh water, are about 1/4 mile away, use freely,” HE, did not partake!! SHE, still not happy!!

We usually off road. When we get back, we take a shower, not a “Navy shower!” First trip out, Jim said, “use as much water as you want, we can just zip down and dump/fill.” I do try to conserve…..just him saying this, made a huge difference for me. I think it is a “macho” thing to see how many days you can go without dump/fill!! BS!!

We, throughly enjoy the whole experience!! We’ve sold our Jeep. Maybe a ride along, next time out??

28 Days, wife stayed home. It doesn't take that long to run over to fill and dump, even once a week. I found the well water there had no issues, I filtered and softened it anyways, but was perfectly fine.

Nancy, now that is funny!!! Who the h**l was that idiot?!!! Oh s**t that was me!!! In my defense, I had to try and convey to "SHE" that you had to be just a skosh conservative and in so doing "SHE" thought she had to pee in a jug and all kinds of things to conserve water. But yes "SHE" wasn't happy because "SHE" really doesn't want to do anything to make work for me. "SHE" is the best there is and I love her to death. I have learned to express myself in different terms to let her know that I'm ok with it. Thanks for the laugh you made my day and "SHE" loves you to death along with me too.

I bring a big 55 gallon water barrel and electic pump with me. I put on my utv trailer and full it when I get there. I have it sitting and ready to fill the bus with the electric transfer pump when I need it. I don't move the bus unless the tanks get full. Have been good so far.
