Hi folks. I've got some questions about Quartzite which I'm asking as a newb to the hobby, the board, and the Quartzite event itself.
After doing some talking with my wife, I've been given the green light to go to Quartzite. If I choose to go, I'm going to follow Tommy's recommendation from a prior post and stay at the Best Western in Ehrenberg. I would have two full days (20th and 21st) to spend time looking around. But, after reading about the show(s), I'm wondering if it's worth going since the PowWow and Tyson Wells shows have already ended. For the time I'd be going, the Desert Gardens show would be the show that I'd be visiting. So, should I cut my losses and just make plans for next year? Or, is there enough to see to kill 2 days now?
I don't have a real specific interest or shopping list - I'd probably be looking to add agates or other tumbling rough and perhaps some finished cabs (for anticipated wire wrapping) and maybe some fossils.
Thanks in advance for any input and/or advice. Regards.
Dave

Should be over with by now. Most people were already heading out to Tuscon when I was there.

When you do decide to go out be sure to check out the rock shop across the street from Carl's Jr., T-rocks www.t-rocksinquartzsite.com . I always get good material there for a decent price.

Check the bedbug registry re the Super 8 though. That's actually the first thing I worried about with that motel. Didn't know there was such a site, so thanks for that. I've already looked, and there are some reports, though I probably wouldn't have stayed there anyway. I'm still kind of on the fence about going, and I just realized (due to a forgotten conflict) that I'd be going later in the week and into the weekend...if I ultimately decide to go. Dave
