Our January Winter Travels and Adventures around Arizona

We look forward to January every year because we spend the month traveling and exploring the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. This year was a little different for us. The first part of the month we spent a week at a rally called the United Rally which was held by a YouTube channel Switch It Up. The Rally was really a great experience for us. We had a great time, meet some amazing humans and genuinely just enjoy our time there. The rest of the month we spent in and around Quartzsite, Arizona. Each year we get there the second week of January and spend the rest of the month there at Q Rally. This year was Q25, it had a little different feel this year in a very positive way. We really enjoyed out time with friends in the desert this year. The pervious years were great, but something about this year so much better. We look forward to Q26 that’s for sure.

The following video shows a little of our adventures, please enjoy and as always if you have any question don’t hesitate to ask, we love the interaction with those that follow us.

2025 United Rally

We hitch it up and head to Tucson, Arizona for the United Rally/

5 years ago a couple Todd & Sheila Konitzer hit the road for a year to honor Sheila’s dad who had just past. her dad had an RV that he had planned to hit the road with. Well after his passing they two decided that they would fulfill his dream by taking the RV out and they found themselves liking the rv travel life, even if it would be for a short time. Well long story short that 1 year has turned into 5 and they are still on the road and thriving.

As for the United Rally, this came about because Sheila wanted to have a purpose while out on the road. She felt that just visiting places and excursions or adventures was not enough, she wanted to have purpose and the RV Revolution was born. From the RV Revolution spurned the United Rally, the rally was just a way for Switch It Up to gather content creators from as many traveling and nomadic genres together to share experiences and bring others in to support and build on community that has been established over the years on the road. To say this rally was a success would be an understatement. They were able to bring over 250 creators and non-creators together to fellowship and it worked out amazingly. So much so that the 2026 edition will not be in Arizona, but the Florida.

We had such a great time expanding our horizon’s, but also getting to meet some creators that we have only seen on YouTube, to being able to meet on a more intimate level with Todd & Sheila and we were so very grateful for their time.

The Rally had so many things going on from meet and greets, to seminar’s, to group outings, meal’s and games. The Cornhole tournament, the Rock, Paper, Scissors and Singo games were epic. To have a group of adults let go of inhibition’s and just have fun was such a great thing to be apart of.

We are not sure if we will be able to make the Florida United Rally, but we will do whatever we can to try to get there. If you are on the East Coast next year the first part of January/February make sure to try to attend you won’t regret it.

Hatfield Creek Winery Harvest Host stop

Harvest Host have you heard of it? Well Harvest Host is a program for rvers to be able to stop for the night at Farm’s, Wineries, Breweries, Museums, Golf Courses and some Churches. Its a great resource as you travel around the country to be able to stay at an unconventional spot other than a campground. The stay’s are usually filled with fun and relaxation and in this case a lot of really good wine. The Winery boasted a really neat museum about its beginnings and its owners. The tasting room and the grounds are very comfortable and inviting. If you are ever in or near Ramona, California and are looking for a great overnight this is one to consider.

We had a fantastic time at Hatfield Creek, we were able to have our daughter in her rv and a really good friend drove up to join us as well. We look forward to returning at some point. This was also part of the shakedown of our new Cargo Trailer Conversion that i put together over the last year and a half. There will be full feature of it at some point in the future of its build.
