I have watched several U-Tubes on Quartz festivals. Chessie has a better argument than I for not going just for the travel distance alone.  I am 90 minutes north of Atlanta, can head west on I-20 and drop south to I- 10 somewhere along the way. But I'm thinking.... Pensacola and Destin Florida are about 5-6  hours straight south....  We have been there. We like them. They have electricity and water!
I just can't bring myself to want to go that far west to park in the dirt. I saw footage on U-Tube of two dust storms at Quartzite that make me thinketh I prefer to avoid powder blowing into....everything. I know, I know...just pass me the Geritol, but we don't really go enough and have just enough money to want to be plugged in. I think we will continue to smash palmetto bugs over powdering our nose. It is good for us all to like different things. Imagine how crowded it would be if we all went to the same place!

We own 2 places in Az both are a 120 miles in different driections from Quartzsite .we only go Quartzsite for 1 day during the gathering  just to visit our bus friends from the past 30 years.Quartzsite is not my favorite place but to see buses and meet bus people it is the place to be.
LOL dust storms find you a utube showing what happens there with a 1/2 inch of rain with water running a foot deep in the desert dust is nothing .
Lot of people like Quartzsite though they drive from Canada down to park in the desert and fill the RV parks up every year yes they do modern campground there even with trees and patios   
Life is short drink the good wine first
