RE: Torque App Android
Looks like a sweet app. Hoping it becomes available for iPhone. Right now the closest iPhone app to Torque App appears to be DashCommand for $50.
Let us know how you like it.The iPhone app store reviews show a lot of problems. Hopefully the Droid developer was more thorough. :(

RE: Quartzsite Weekend.
---snip---
The mall was nearly empty, Hobby Lobby looked the same. K-Mart didn't have 10 cars in the lot. Bass Pro was closed up.HOLD ON HERE A SEC.....!
There's a Hobby Lobby in the mall.....? Great, NOW you tell me. Must be where Pet Adventure was?
All my 1S batteries are shot and we had to come all the way back to Palm Springs to hopefully find them.
Grrrr.....

RE: boondocking is boondocking
Dry Camping is dry camping, regardless of where it's done: Walmart, Quartzsite, the local CG with no hookups, or "boondocking" (whatever that means).

RE: Q Report
Here's a few pix I shot of the Plomosa area earlier in the week. Might be interesting to do this again on closing day (today).

There are some better 360 pans I need to upload that show the North Plomosa area and a little further N-E better. In years past it's been elbow to elbow.

RE: Storable BBQ??
Everyone here knows what the OP is referring to and that Grill and BBQ are interchangeable for his question. He wants a box that goes outside, makes heat for a STEAK, and can store it.
Another vote for the Weber BBQ

RE: Quartzsite AZ to Bakersfield CA
It's no problem all the way through. We have made the run several times between Q and Santa Clarita and would probably do it this year, but will be detouring to Palm Springa area.
The only problems you might encounter with traffic is the folks in and out of Big Bear along the back route, but ain't got no snow, so......

RE: Losing tv channels
Responding on an iPhone....
Welcome to San Diego and the inversions. My dad lived in the hills of Fallbrook, and we would watch this happen all the time. The path would go from full quieting on rabbit ears, and fade out to the point that the largest Winegard wedge antenna: 8+ feet long, 4' high with some 50 elements, up on a 40' mast (and on top of the hill) with a deep fringe pre-amp, we would still lose signal: VHF or UHF. That's just the way it is in that area with the hills and the various inversions there.
So before you go looking for a problem you may not have, watch it for a few days.

RE: Q Report
I would agree that, at least Plomosa was noticeably down. But in past years, by now that crowds had significantly thinned out in and around the show, and from our observations and talking to vendors, that's not the case this year.
Curious.....

RE: LED light over door
you will be dong your neighbor a disservice having that light come on and off all night long.
bumpy
Really?? If it is coming on then someone/something is moving around near the door and I would think that you or your neighbor might want to know about that! Besides, it can be returned to a regular on/off light easily.
there have been posts about this type of light being activated by animals, non human, walking by. the last thing I want next to me is a disco strobe all night long.
bumpyHe can always turn it off when not needed....

RE: LED light over door
What you want is THIS product. It's motion sensing and comes with 200 Lumen LED. You can also add an amber cover to it. While the bugs are less, an LED absolutely WILL attract bugs, even with an amber lens on it.

RE: 1st time to Quartzsite
We're heading to Arizona desert in March. When I go to the desert it is to get away from crowds, get enough of that in the city everyday.
NO THANKS!Good... There are hundreds of thousands of people enjoying themselves here. No room for those who won't.
Hershey: You probably saw the Slo-Stick in the "hanger".. Originally that was the plan, but the Quad is a really stable platform that can be reasonably parked at altitude. I have the GoPro set for 1sec stills, so I can move it around and just do a slow rotation. I just need a LOT more practice. We tried a tiny little cam on the Stick last year, and while it did work, there is a lot of vibration to deal with.
Was that your glider pix of Q I saw on YouTube awhile back?

RE: Is there a LARGE RV event like Quartzsite on the East Coast
There is nothing else like the "Q". Everybody should go once. I don't know why anyone would go the second time.
Many, many, RVing clubs have an annual rally at 'Q'. My 6th year and I love it!EXACTLY !
And the rest of us to to hang with friends.

If the weather settles tomorrow I'll go back up and do some HD video, but any higher and I need a spotter with binoc's to figure out orientation. When shooting stills, it takes one shot/sec.

RE: 1st time to Quartzsite
Q seems quite a bit more crowded this year than last year. The big tent was packed with people yesterday.The show is packed, even during the week (don't these people work?). But the Plomosa area is definitely light this year.
Here are a few pix shot this morning:
