Texas Tater Tour Trip With Club President!

Texas in March is suppose to be warm and sunny, however we experienced some cool, rainy weather.  That did not dampen our spirits in walking in Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio and Austin.  The highlight of the trip was visiting AVA Headquarters and meeting the Staff.  We were surprised to see how small the Building was and the tight quarters where they do all the great work for volksmarching!  We even had a couple from Maryland finish walking their 50 States!

Quartzite Volksmarch

Carl & I attended the Quartzsite Walk in Arizona on the 8th.  It was Carl's first road trip since he moved to LV.  We had to leave super early to make the time change difference.  I received my City "Q" completed my A-Z City Program.  I really enjoyed myself. 
There were about forty people who did the walk. 
Fun Facts:
Did you know that Camels roam the area in the 1800's. 
Did you know there is a gum museum.
Did you know there is a book store with a beautiful western front and tarps for the side walls.
Did you know everything is for sale at Quartzsite. 
Did you know that there are only a few homes that can't be moved.
