Another Rubber Tramp Rendezvous has come to a close with a good time had by all! The days were mostly warm and sunny and the rubber tramps were friendly and happy. The attendance projections were a little high – I don’t think we hit 10,000, maybe 3,000 to 5,000 over the 12 days as new people arrived and others left.
Traffic on the one lane wash was handled by the volunteers who had two way radios. The day of rain didn’t sweep anyone away although a few people got stuck because they parked or drove on soft ground. The ground was mostly dry and firm by the next day.
New to us were the porti-potties (they were there last year but we missed that RTR), a huge dumpster for trash, and a stage for the seminars. The RTR has become a big-time event!
We were very impressed with the courtesy of the campers. Generators were off by 10 PM and if there was loud music at the PTR (partier) camp, we did not hear it. We did a sweep of a couple sections of the camp area before we left and found just a few bits of micro trash and no fire rings that had not been dismantled as requested. The volunteers who kept everything running smoothly deserve a big Thank You! RTR 33.64909, -114.14563
It sounds like a good time! Where are you headed now?
ReplyDeleteWe don't know - lol! We'll probably wander around in southern Arizona for a while because it's too cold everywhere else. I've heard Florida is nice this time of year. ;-D
