Thank you for making these videos about Quartzsite. My parents spent many many winters there, and it is cool to see what it looks like. Although they haven't traveled for 10 years. Well, my mom passed on, and my dad ended up with dementia. I swear FT RVing kept them younger than just sitting around the house.

Make the opportunity to visit. Few regret it. With a vehicle you can stay on BLM land free. There are people without a vehicle who tent. You'll see all sorts of things and people.

@nomadiavan6560 Год назад

And there is quartz everywhere you look. Rockhound heaven.

Are you "allowed" to dig everywhere or are you not supposed to? Just wondering...

@mars4697 Год назад

My grandparents spent winters there for as long as I can remember. They recently passed. I appreciated getting a glimpse of their days there.

@ottocarr3688 Год назад

Good tour of Quartzite. Next, how about a tour of the land outside of town with all the services available and where to avoid problems with thieves, etc, etc.

Bob Wells is all about being a guide to “easiness” on the road… not stress or otherwise… but taking life easy, enjoying the day, finding a smile and giving one. Bob (I do believe) knows inclusion, compassion, and sharing. ty sir

Dear Bob thank u for sharing it is nice to see area that everyone talks about! Take care!

Fiona, I love Australia but your government is putting freedom under the boot. Good luck to all you wonderful Aussies.

@JJ-gc8du Год назад

Going CA to PHX a lot, I make Quartzite a regular stop, but I NEVER knew of most of these great spots until this video. I"m coming out for RTR 2023, and having this mental map of the go-to places removes a lot of apprehension. And it saves a whole lot of time searching to get something done!! Well done!

Don't blink if you drive through town you might miss it

@cheriemiller669 Год назад

Thanks for the tour! That was very helpful and anxiety reducing!

@yoshisquid3749 Год назад

This is very interesting and entertaining. So much good people gathering there every year! I have never crossed an ocean, maybe one day I'll come to the USA to meet your friends. And other friendly nomads. For now I'm a little occupied still in western Europe, close to Amsterdam! 💚😎 Love all that you're doing, and I've learned a lot thanks to you and Su-Ann.

@candacebryson6276 Год назад

Thank you Bob, I didn't realize the transfer station has recycling. See you at the RTR in January! I'm starting to get really excited now, to hit the road. Will be leaving Bath, NY by December first, which will give me some time to wander, and explore. Take care.

@binxthekitty54 Год назад

Be careful on your travels. I'm in Irwin PA and about to hit the road too.

@rs5570 Год назад

I’m in Cleveland, OH. I’d like to leave earlier than Dec 31 for the RTR if I have my little car ready and am saying goodbye to my apt. (More like Good Riddance). I hope I could find someone to travel buddy with but who knows if I can.

@terrymoses7548 Год назад

All the times I've heard you and others talk about "Quartzsite", I had no idea the event was actually IN the town of Quartzsite! In fact...I wasn't sure Quartzsite WAS a town!! This answers a lot of my questions.

@balthazarquinn Год назад

Great video Bob! That was a really good tour too. I loved that you stopped and talked about places. It’ll be a huge help for anyone visiting the town. ✌️🙂

@justskoolinaround11 Год назад

Super helpful Bob, hope to see you this winter.

@KU9L Год назад

We work in CO during the summer so it seems natural to spend winter in AZ, but we still have eldercare duties in FL for a bit yet, and soon enough will have alternative winter options to choose from. I used to contract work in PHX so we got to visit Q from a rental car in 2007 before we bought our first RV. We attended Life On Wheels newbie RV full-timing training in 2007 in Tucson right before aerospace downsized & cast me away, so I knew someday we would be returning. I took your 18-hour on-line course and knew it was for us, that was how we got the concessionaire job managing 13 campgrounds for the USFS district near Salado, CO in the summer. It is hard work, but very rewarding. See you down the road. David & Sheila

@rebelgirl7289 Год назад

Thank you, Bob, so much for the tour. This year may be a reality for me to go to my first RTR. I've been watching your videos for years and finally moved cross country almost a year ago, so it's a possibility. I would love to meet you and make new friends, hopefully see a few more nomads I've been subbing to. Take care.

Bob I love these videos the most….. it’s very helpful to see what life will be like and info on the town shopping and living etc……. Please make more of these videos for those of us who are trying to hit the road

@HunterMann Год назад

Good video Bob. You might want to remember remind people that if they are headed west from Quartzsite they should gas up since the gas prices can be as much is two dollars more per gallon once you get into California. Also if you are heading from the Los Angeles area east towards Arizona wait to fuel up until you get to Arizona to save money. If you’re running on empty in eastern California just stop and get a few gallons of gas, just enough to get you into Arizona, you’ll save a lot of money. Before doing any road trip I can to check typical gas prices for each state I am going through and do my fueling accordingly. Once again, Bob, has made such an informative video and always personally offered in his unique style

@mhastrich6134 Год назад

Bob! This was such a cool video! I traveled through you! I'm in FL and, well, I've never been anywhere west of the Mississippi! Flew into Texas once. That's it. Been working too much all my life. This was so pleasurable to hear your very detailed description of Quartzsite. I am not nomadic except in my mind and preparations. I long to get the hell outta Florida to travel! Thank you for this awesome video. As always, I enjoy you & your content. Best wishes to you for a continued good life! XO

Oh that's where I want to retire, and will soon. Thank you, Bob, another great video. Getting me an SUV and a 25 ft camp trailer fully self contained, heading to Quartszite AZ to campout for 7 months, then don't know what to do after winter is over. But ill figure it out.

Bob, remember the Arctic Roadrunner in Anchorage? As soon as you said Roadrunner that’s the first thing that popped in my head, lived in Knik for 47 years.

@wills5978 Год назад

Great information Bob , really appreciate all information you share.

@Aloha-sailor Год назад

Next to Roadrunner, heading east is Quartzsite Beauty Salon, $5 shower, no time limit. Main Street Laundromat is across the street.

@fancysfolly554 Год назад

I had the idea that this was some sort of no man’s land. It’s a regular little town. That’s nice to know. Thanks! We aren’t in a position to travel but we enjoy doing it vicariously. It’s fun seeing how this community of people has helped so many. Especially seniors on very tight budgets. You just never know when you might need to live in your car. We flooded during Hurricane Harvey and I learned quickly how you can become homeless. It was surreal.

@tmo7734 Год назад

This is an excellent tour. Thanks, Bob. Best wishes.

Thank you for what you do love your videos I learned a lot from them we full time rv we do have a home base in Lafayette La plus I also built a camper out of a cargo trailer 7x 14 for us just to go camping and travel we never been to quartzsite but we really want to go there soon hope to see you we would love to meet you

@sandrabeck8788 Год назад

Really enjoyed the tour of Quartzsite! Thanks so much. I was there for the RTR in 2017 when I first retired. Had so much fun there!

@KatGlance Год назад

Thanks for the video I appreciate it. I am planning on making it out there in January or February. I have heard that camping on BLM land is mostly for RV's that are totally contained and if you are van/auto camping there is a special area near portapottys. Can you talk a bit more about that, maybe show on a map where some of them are or other options? I would truly appreciate it. Thank you once again.

@rs5570 Год назад

I wish I could fond out about this, too. I would like to camp with anyone, RV, van or car but keep hear they want you near the potties even though I’ll have a good set up for that.

@juliojames5986 Год назад

The Q is not just for snow birds For me it was a great escape from big city life… a place to go to be alone if you want.. or make new friends.. a place you won’t be judged for not having a a different put on every day.. so excited to get back there and forget about the stress of big city life.. and the $800 in parking tickets I got this year! FYI I’m live i SF and it sucks !
