Anne Willis writes a wonderful blog ( https://2010liberty.wordpress.com/ ). She recently documented the 2019 Quartzite rally and suggested that we post it here for Eagle enthusiasts to view. The following is her documentation:
We had a good time in Quartzsite this year in what our Eagle friends dubbed the Eaglet. It will take a bit of adjusting and adapting, but I think we can fit in comfortably for our spring travels.
Our rally was a bit short on Eagle buses but not short on friends. Not all of them drive Eagles, but all of them enjoy conversation and most like shopping, which is a good skill with all the vendors in Tyson Wells, not to mention the Big Tent, which opened Saturday.
Several buses came from a distance, but the white bus with blue stripes below has the distinction of having a Swiss owner. Rico has been touring the US and coming to our rally for a long time. At first, he came in a much different rig,
Now he and Elvira travel in style! Her brother and sister-in-law flew in and rented an RV to join them in seeing the sights. This year they, along with several others, made a fleeting appearance and went on to other places but we always enjoy seeing them all, however briefly.
You never know what you’re going to go home with when you go to Quartzsite. Byron Pigg, past president of the Eagles club, found this gem and made room for it in one of his bays to take home to Missouri.
This rally is being held in a state park in Ogallala, NE on the first week in September, 2019. Because it is a state park, early reservations are required — no later than February 7th, 2019 so reservations can be made with the NE states park system.

There will be an Eagle bus rally in Quartzsite in January 2019.

In 2004 I wrote and article for Bus Conversions Magazine that discussed various aspects of Bus and Motor Home fires.
The two main elements of the article are:
Included in the article is a discussion of the four classes of fires and how various fire suppression agents fight the fire.

Several years ago I wrote an article for our Eagles International Chapter Newsletter on the subject of doing a pre-trip inspection with an emphasis on the air brake system. Here is a link to that article:
