It’s a bit breezy in Southern AZ right now as a little storm front rolls through. But just like the last DRV, expect cold, wind, rain and sun all in the same hour in the desert this time of year.

Dave, sorry for the last minute notice. Not going to make for the Desert Rendezvous weekend. I've got Saturday only off, think of just driving up after work from Yuma and camp one day but that would be pushing its. Have fun, be safe.Take care. See ya at Mountain Rendezvous.
Sorry to hear that. See you at MRV!

Now is a good time to print that hold harmless agreement. Almost pulled out of my driveway without it this morning.

THIS!!!
REMINDER!
For the first time at any Rendezvous we will be holding a BEST CAMPSITE competition!
The rules are simple - there are none! Create your own oasis in the desert or any theme you'd like to draw everyone's attention to YOUR campsite! Decorate, celebrate, dare to be different!
You may even want to bribe the Judges with cold beverages or hors d'oeuvres for influence just like they do up in Sacramento!
Who are the Judges? YOU are the Judges! Each RSVP will be given one token at check in to vote with.
Each participating campsite will provide an appropriately themed receptacle to receive votes in. At the appropriate time and place (TBD), tokens will be turned in for final tabulation.
And yes, it pays to be winner. There has to be a prize, right?
