- 🚐💨 *Join us on our first-ever camping adventure at Quartzsite, AZ, during the Q24 Rally and the legendary RV Show!* 🌵✨
From last-minute RV fixes to breathtaking drives through the desert, we've packed this video with not just the sights but the heartfelt experiences of life on the road.
🌞 *Highlights of Our Journey:*
- 🛠️ Overcoming RV troubles just in time for the trip
- 🛣️ The scenic drive to La Posa South LTVA BLM, where the desert landscape unfolds in all its glory [NOTE: I mistakenly call this La Posta in the video]
- 🤝 Meeting and spending time getting to know fellow UA-camrs, including a favorite channel of ours, @GrandAdventure
- 🚁 Captivating drone footage capturing the vast beauty of the desert
- 🌧️ A surprise rainstorm that transforms our campsite
- 🎪 Exploring the big tent at the RV show - every camper's dream!
- 🥾 Hiking to Palm Canyon in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge for some nature therapy
- 🥧 Learning the art of using Pie Irons and sharing laughs and stories
- 🌳 Visiting the Hi Jolly Memorial and marveling at Arizona's Great Tree
Our week in Quartzsite was a blend of adventure, unexpected weather, community, and the joy of exploring the great outdoors. From tech tips to toasty pies, we made memories that define what camping is all about friendship, discovery, and the freedom of the open road.

Great video and tour of this area! We are seriously considering going next year several channels are telling us we have to go. You handled you surprises at the beginning well and fixed your water and slide quick and calmly. Great drone footage we will try to check out the channels you mentioned we love shout outs and supporting channels! Dang the curry looked amazing we love curry dishes. The thumbnail is a really nice pic very pretty photo. The walk around the RV Show and tent was great and that hike area looked excellent. We are thinking of getting those cast iron for making pies we have seen them in a couple videos looks easy and yummy! Great video thanks so much hopefully we see you soon!
Thanks so much for the support. If you guys are going next year we will definitely try to join you. Q24 is a great event esp. for youtube channels, we were very happy with the decision to attend. We didn't even get half of the events at the rally - it was huge fun, so do check out some of the other channels. Thanks as always for the support and looking forward to meeting up with you either on our way to AK or maybe at Quartzsite next year!
Thanks for the video. It was great to meet you at Q24.
Likewise we enjoyed meeting you too @craftytraveler9238 - we hope our paths cross again soon! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Great job on this one! The narration was perfect. We truly enjoyed getting to know you, and look forward to our paths crossing again.
It was truly great getting to know you guys - we definitely look forward to our next encounter! Until then - enjoy the skiing! Thanks so much for watching and commenting - we really appreciate it :)
Great video. It was fun meeting you at Q24!
Thank you! We really enjoyed meeting you as well. Looking forward to running into you again on the road one of these days! Safe travels :)
Love it! Bob is such a good narrator and Dang is great with the video. I ate your yummy food at the potluck! Thanks for showing our Pie Iron demo. Next year everyone should bring their own and we can get you to make them. Can’t wait to see the next part! You make good videos! Miss you guys!❤
Sue and Jim! - Thanks so much for dropping by - we loved that we could include your pie iron demo ! We need to pick some up for our next trip - that is so much fun - thanks for doing that :) Are you guys still in Quartzsite? We are heading back on Sunday, if you are around we will look for you. We miss you too - hopefully we will cross paths before next year, but if not we will see you there! Take care and safe travels !
Good video! It was great to meet y’all at Q24. Safe Travels!
Thank you! Likewise we really enjoyed meeting you and hope we do again this coming year. Safe travels :)
Hi Bob/Dang, Great Video! Glad you are having such awesome adventures!
Thanks Wayne! It was a good time indeed! Maybe we will see you out there one of these days?
Oh my gosh. That was crazy, so many trailers. Thank you so much for sharing another fun experience. It would have been nice to see all the ice cream, to bad they were closed. Oh yes almost forgot. loved Dang’s rain boot. So cute
Hi Robyn, thanks for the comment! We were blown away by how many rvs there were out there. Just as far as the eye could see. I must admit I was hoping the ice cream would be open, but it wasn't and that was probably better for me anyhow :). I think Dang has aspirations of bringing the rain boots to Alaska - we will see how that works out . Thanks again :)
I like seeing videos on Quartzite, wow your very handy Bob, always have to prepare for emergencies. Always support businesses that give Military and veterans discounts. Like the community a Quartzite. 😊
Thanks for the comment - i do enjoy problem solving and rvs give lots of opportunities :). t was a fun time and glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Great coverage of Quartzsite! Especially appreciate the grocery explanation!
Thanks! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. The grocery situation is not like you are in a big city by any means but it was far better than we expected. Safe travels :)
Thank you so much for this video. I’m retiring soon, and look forward to going to Quartzite. The people seem so friendly. Hope to see you there!😊 Safe travels!
Thank you, we really do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! Our experience in Quartzsite was all positive, though I'm sure some did not have as good of a time (there are a million people there after all!). We will definitely be there next year and would love to meet up with you if it works out! Good luck on the retirement - hope you will get a lot of time for travel :)
I luv your videos I feel like traveling too . Thanks for the narration it’s almost watching a movie .
Thanks so much for the nice comment - we really appreciate it. It's great to get that feedback as these videos do take a lot of effort, and knowing they are appreciated makes it all worthwhile. Our goal is to make better and better videos each time. Thanks again!
Wow, looks like a nice time to visit the desert. So much to see and do! And Dang got some air time this video too!
Another great video! You find the nicest, most interesting places. Thanks!❤
Thanks Ken for the view and the comment! It is indeed a good time to visit - and we are going back this weekend :) We look forward to having Dang get more airtime as we progress! Thanks again :)
Hi Bob and Dang. Looks like you were prepared for the shake rattle and roll. When you hit the slide button and nothing happens its an instant punch in the gut. Glad you got it figured out. I may have to come back to this one and check out how Dang made that curry, that is something we have never cooked. Looks like you enjoyed the rally. Safe travels you two! Sean & Angie
Hi Sean and Angie - Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving the comment. Yes I was quite concerned when the slide didn't retract.. I'm glad it only took an hour or so to figure it out. I really didn't want to arrive at the campsite after dark :). That curry is really good - and Dang cooks it perfectly, its not that hard to prepare either. Thanks again for joining us we look forward to our paths crossing one of these days. Safe travels @ouRVisionnomadicliving !
We're going to Quartzite January 25 for the first time all the way from NC for a couple of weeks during the show. Then we'll more than likely head down to Yuma to snowbird a couple more months. Great video
Glad you liked it! That is awesome you guys are traveling there next year - I think you will really appreciate the change of weather / scenery. We will probably be around that same time again, so hopefully we might get a chance to meet up! Happy camping :)
What a great time in the desert! Y'all did a great job capturing everything. Looking forward to Part 2. Next year i am going to get there earlier and be a better worker Bee for the event! 😃
Thanks for the comment - we really appreciate it. And guess what? You have a cameo in the next part :) we will definitely kick in more for next years event. This was our first ever rally of any kind so learned a bit about how that all works. Safe travels and we hope our paths cross again before q25!
Outstanding recap of Q. Again some of the best drone work on any channel. PS that dinner for the potluck looked amazing. We are hoping to attend Q25 next year so hope to see you there, if not before. Safe Travels.
Thanks so much you guys, really enjoyed getting to see you there. Where are you going to be in Texas? I think we are going near Fort Worth or Waco for the eclipse.. maybe bump into you there or on the way?
Y'all do a really awesome job with story telling! We will have to try your curry sometime! Glad you got your slide working and your leaks fixed! ~ Shion and Matthew
Thank you guys - it means a lot to us to get that feedback from you - we very much respect your channel and style! It was a rough start but fortunately easily fixed... That slide could have been a whole lot worse! We look forward to running into you again on the road some day (hopefully soon!). :)
Excellent video. Glad you were able to handle the water leak and slide out repair easily. Quartzite looks very interesting, we might consider it one day. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :). Yes it pays to be prepared for rv failures as i know you are aware... Alaska will surely teach that lesson right? Speaking of that we are right now watching your episode 61 you just released. You can't get more contrasting landscapes! Your videos on Alaska are proving so useful for us - if you do make it to Quartzsite hopefully we can meet and compare notes. Thanks again and safe travels!
That looked like a lot of fun!
Indeed it was). Thanks for watching and commenting!
You shared the good and the bad. RVING definitely has its own challenges. We still think you should do our voiceovers😂😅
Yes, you have to take the good with the bad don't you! Gosh - thanks so much for the compliment, I really appreciate it - but I think you guys do great voiceovers already! Hope we cross paths again soon - safe travels in the mean time :)
Que video tan bueno y excelente la narración saludos desde maturin, Venezuela.
¡Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras y por ver nuestro video! Nos alegra saber que te haya gustado. ¡Saludos desde San Diego, California
@@bobanddangsjourney , saludos yo viví muchos años en Davis, California.. Buenos recuerdos..
Fantastic video, really enjoyed seeing your journey to Quartzsite as well as the show itself and exploring the town and hiking 😁
Glad you made it there after the last minute problems, plumbing and electrics. Are the worst 😮💨
It's crazy the population grows by almost a million, that shop does so well to cope with the influx.
The drone shots were great, gave a really good idea of the scale of the show.
And loved the hiking, stunning scenery and those hardy little palm trees. Thanks so much for sharing ❤😁
Thank you , it was an interesting trip - it started out a. little rough as you know, but once we got that out of the way it was all good. Thanks so much for commenting - I hope one day perhaps you guys will come over here and visit - I know we would love to come over and see your neck of the woods! Safe travels to you guys :)
If you ever do come over it would be great to show you the joys of the canals 😁 And we would love to visit there one day too 😊
@@narrowboatpuravida Indeed, we will contact you for sure if we head that way, and please do the same if you are heading out here! Thanks for the comment :)
Hi Dang, been watching your vids. You guys do a great job! Took me awhile to figure out how to commit. Hope to keep in touch. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching and liking them Hawaii Dan
Hi Dan and Linda! Thank you for your kind words! Your effort is truly appreciated, well done! It was great meeting you, Linda, and your grandchildren. I feel so much love and support from you guys! Let’s definitely keep in touch! ❤️😊🥰
Wow! This is such an amazing video and showcase of the BLM long term experience at Quartzite. We tried to check this out last winter but totally got turned around due to the crowded spots. We ended up down in the area of Kofa Reserve where you went to the canyon and really want to go back there to explore. Such a cool spot and love all of the extra details of this video, especially Dang showing us the Red Curry recipe! We love different types of curry so that will also be on our list now ;)
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. For us i think the ltva ends up being good for rallys and such. If we are just camping we tend to choose more remote places too. We do want to go back to kofa foe sure! Safe travels to you guys :)
Great video. Saw my friend Sue and Jim. We have been to Quartzsite but always stayed outside of there. Palm Canyon was one of our favorite
Thanks for watching and commenting! It was fun - we didn't know what to expect but we had a great time. Sue and Jim were great - we really appreciated being able to film that Pie Iron segment - that is so much fun around the campfire... Safe travels!
@@bobanddangsjourney they have been trying to get us out that way lol.
@@melodyassaro You Should! :)
Good stuff Bob. Missed you at Q-site. We spent a week there this year. Nice T-Shoot on the slide mister.
Oh, we are bummed we missed you - maybe next year though. I got lucky on that slide I think - I was going to unplug the wires there to check the voltage and when I touched them I noticed the slide controller lit back up - I could see myself removing the controller and replacing it, only to have the same problem! Thanks for watching and the comment - we really appreciate the support.
Your videos are SoooOOoooo NICE!!! Subbed :)
Well thank you so much, we really appreciate you spending the time to tell us! that's what makes it all worthwhile... We have some exciting stuff coming up this summer and fall and hopefully these will be the best episodes yet! Thanks again :)
ว้าวอากาศก็ดีอาหารก็ดีน่าอร่อยดีใจด้วยนะคะกินเยอะเยอะนะกินเผื่อด้วย
อากาศดีใช่อาหารก็อร่อยเดี๋ยวไว้โอกาศหน้ามากินด้วยกันนะ 😀
Yes, weather was great and food was amazing! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😀
The Quartzsite LTVAs are camping ghettos where people live on top of each other for no good reason and have the nerve to claim specific spots on PUBLIC land every year (yes, I'm talking about those Lit Cactus people).
Thank you for the comment. In our short time there we did not experience that but we have seen that happen in some other locations - specifically areas close to large metropolitan areas. Safe travels!
La Posta or La Posa?
Thanks for the correction. It is La Posa. I had La Posta (reservation we pass through on the way here) stuck in my head...
It's La Posa not La Posta
Thank you for the correction. I had La posta in my head ...
