Here I got to camp at beautiful Martinez Lake with about a dozen guys and I was the ONLY GAL. You would think, “how lucky is she?”, until you find out that I was down with the crud almost the whole time. So........it became more of a WIN's male bonding gathering. I did get to participate in one of the dances at the Cantina the last day we were there and got plenty of dances in considering the lack of gals available. Oh well......better luck next year.

Two weeks were spent here with approximately 160 WIN's at the Annual Quartzsite gathering with plenty of dancing, 4-wheeling, hiking and more going on. Ron and Randy even built us a “Desert Dance Floor” hauling in loads of sand and covering it with artificial turf and tarps. It worked well and was enjoyed by the masses. Nothing like dancing under the stars in the middle of Winter. Thanks guys for your ingenuity.

We also enjoyed a “potato bake” that Patty Coon organized and another “Ice Cream Social” where we invited all local singles as well as WIN's to attend. It was enjoyed by all.

Gila Bend Elk's was our next campsite for a few days, where a couple of the fellows got sworn in as new Elk brothers and I ordered a new leg for my wireless dish tripod at RV Sat Link, that had crashed in a windstorm. It was nice to just kick back and rest following the past couple weeks of activities.
