Lake Havasu Winter Blast and Fireworks
When: Thursday, 2/12/2026 – Sunday, 2/15/2026
Where: Camping at the Steps, Lake Havasu, AZ
Contact: Carol Hinkley
This is an unofficial Solos get together but many people really enjoy it every year. We normally go to see the fireworks Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Some people go one day, some go all three. This is a trade show where fireworks manufacturers showcase their best creations and where fireworks show buyers come to book shows for their cities and companies. Every creation is a finale. $10 entry fee for each day – cash only.
Come anytime the week of February 11th. We camp on Arizona Trust Land at The Steps.
You must have an Arizona Trust Land permit displayed in your windshield to camp. Go to https://land.az.gov/ to obtain a permit. They will come by and check, so don’t risk a ticket.
We may go to lunch on Thursday February 12th at Shogun. This is a Teppanyaki restaurant. Carol Hinkley will be making a reservation so be sure to let her know if you are going. Please email Carol Hinkley at skpsolos@yahoo.com to RSVP.
About the Fireworks:
The entry cost is $10 CASH per person. There is also a $10 parking fee so we try to fill up the cars and share the cost. There is no ATM on site. More info on the website. https://www.golakehavasu.com/events/annual-event-calendar/winter-blast-pyrotechnics-show/

The SKP Solos Escapade Pre-Rally will be held Sunday, June 7th to Friday, June 12th at the Twin Tamarack Family Camping and RV Resort in New Hampton, NH.
Bev has talked to Jesse at Twin Tamarack RV park and booked her Water Electric site #108 for June 5th to 12th at the weekly rate. It’s on a cul de sac which has been reserved for our Solos Escapade Pre-Rally. You can book a WE site now and pay cash on arrival to save the 3% credit card fee. Full hook ups which are available nearby require 1 night deposit at booking. Cancellation fees are posted on their website.
If you would like to attend this Rally please call, email or use the Twin Tamarack online reservation request form as soon as possible. At time of booking let them know you want to be close to the Escapees Solos Rally. And let Bev know your site #. Reservations are fist come first served for site assignment. Vendors for the huge NH bike week Rally (June 13th to 20th) have already reserved sites beginning June 10th.
There is a lot for us to explore nearby and we can easily have 12 to 15 people rent their kayaks and canoes from the boat launch. There is a cruise on the lake available, and local restaurants have been recommended too.
In addition to making your campground reservation, please RSVP for this Rally by texting your name, reservation dates at Twin Tamarack Family Camping and RV Resort and site number to Bev at (352) 449-6004.
Hope to see you all in June.

Solos Annual Rally and Meeting at Quartzsite
When: Friday, 1/15/2027 – Saturday, 1/23/2027
Where: Plomosa Road, Quartzsite, AZ
Fee: $10 USD
Contact: Linda Vincent
The Solos BOF holds our Annual Meeting each January in Quartzsite, AZ. In addition to our meeting, we have a week-long rally which includes daily breakfast and coffee, some dinners, a dance band or other entertainment, an outing to the Desert Bar and other locations, and most importantly our CARE auction. We usually donate at least $2,000 to CARE annually.
The Quartzsite Rally will be on Plomosa Rd, a few miles north of Quartzsite on BLM land. Signs should be up a week or so beforehand. Many people come early and stay afterwards. The best way to find out what individuals are planning is on the Escapees Solos Facebook Page or the Bulletin Board (for members only). Once the rally is underway, daily activities are posted on bulletin boards in the central camping area, usually an open meeting space defined by a ring of RVs.
Activities
We will have the usual potluck, trip to the Desert Bar in Parker, Stone Soup, morning hugs and mugs, afternoon Happy/Social Hour, Walking Tacos, games, the CARE auction, and the all important Annual Meeting and Elections.
You may want to bring something old or new to contribute to the auction as well as a dish for the potluck and snacks. Bring a chair to the circle and your own plates and utensils to the potluck.
The Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show better known as the Big Tent Event will be held January 15 – 23, 2027, so there will be plenty happening in Quartzsite.
