Here's a link to some pictures...
New Years Rally Pics
I wasn't sure if this was a "What happens in Picacho, stays in Picacho" situation, so please let me know if you see any problems or don't want a particular picture posted and I'll remove it.
Thx,
Chris
P.S. - I'm already working on next year's kazoo playlist.

Chris, thanks a million for the photos! We were so busy, we forgot to take photos. You definitely capture the fun! It was great to meet you and look forward to seeing you again!
Keep working on that kazoo concerto!

The I 10 was a little crazy in spots. But so must have been the drivers :O. When we were headed north, the brake lights started, then we saw some police activity. Then we saw a car upside down in the side ditch! And another in the median.
After leaving the park, we stopped at Discount Tire in Casa Grande to check the trailer tires. We needed a little air in them, but while we were there, a 34' AS pulled in alongside us. They lost the middle tire AND wheel of the driver side axel! We suggested Oasis south or Dillons to the east. ....***If you are reading this, we wish you well and hope you made it safely to your destination! ***.
Back near home, we pulled away from our storage facility and got a message re: back tire pressure low on TV...no , we didn't check the truck tires earlier..duh. At home, In the driveway, unpacking, I heard sssssssssssssss. A nail! Back to Discount Tire! The TV took one for the AS!
Minor inconveniences.
Thank you all for a memorable weekend.
And thank you Chris for the photojournalism! Really capturing the essence of the holiday!

Hey Bonnie, I am glad you made it home before the flat!
Our accident occurred where the rollover was going on, there were 3 separate crashes going on when we hit the truck in front of us. A driver panicked and just stopped in the freeway, the truck in front o us hit the brakes hard, and we couldn't get stopped, we were very close to being rear ended by a big truck, thankfully he got it stopped just inches from the Airstream. It could have been much worse.
It was good to see you guys, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Well, from Picacho we made it part-way to our next stop at Death Valley - spending last night in Kingman.
WE absolutely had a blast at the 4CU NYE Rally! Our thanks to all those who organized what was a very successful rally for all.
So glad to hear Louis and Sergio came out of the crash unscathed & without injury - the TV will be back on the road in no time.
Cheers to all...
A & M (JAKI, too!)

WHEW, Louis and Sergio!!! Too, too CLOSE!!! Glad you are both okay. THANK YOU and all who helped in putting together another GREAT Rally! There's never any place we'd rather be for New Year's than with all of you.
Very low key and relaxed, as we like it. It'll be hard to follow you with Jammer Jam!

We had a great time as always. It was great meeting new friends and seeing many of our old friends.
So sorry to hear of your accident Louis & Sergio, but we thank God you are both OK.
Thank you Chris for all the photos, we will put them in our New Years 2013 album.
We are now at Catalina SP getting ready for our grandson's wedding on Saturday.

Thanks for a great time for first time rally. Kathy and I had a great time and enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people. I have some photos but don't know how to insert them into this system. We are off to Quartzsite and then to San Diego after that don't know. I hope our paths cross again.

This picture has everything; a scenic landmark, a saguaro, an Airstream, some big, honkin', tow-vehicles, and a simian celebrity.

Thanks Luckily, I had my camera out to snap a rare sighting of the elusive Rally Monkey. Skeptics think it's a fake, but Big Foot and Sasquatch fans are excited. Hopefully we'll see more sightings soon.

We hope to see the Rally Monkey at this year's White Sands Rally and the Balloon Fiesta Rally. We will keep our eyes open!

We have really enjoyed all of the pictures. Looks like we missed a really good rally. I showed the Rally Monkey picture to Alumina and she got a twinkle in her eye and wanted to go outside and start on a tan even though we have a little snow and overcast today. WE hope we can make the Jammer rally. Missing the warmer weather. R&B
