(NYT20) QUARTZSITE, Ariz. -- Feb. 9, 2003 -- ARIZ-RV-CITY-3 -- A post-9/11 fear of flying, new concerns about war with Iraq, a surge in baby boomers retiring in their mid-50s, the country's numbing cold this year -- all of these seem to be pushing a human tide into Quartzsite, Ariz. Two hours west of Phoenix, four from Los Angeles, Quartzsite is an old Gold Rush town where the population had dropped to 11 families by the 1950s. It has since become winter's busiest, slowest-moving and by any known measure biggest destination for people with homes on wheels. To nest in Quartzsite with Cinerama sunsets, among scorpions and coyotes and saguaro cactuses, campers pay the federal Bureau of Land Management $25 to park for two weeks and $125 for the six-month season. Nearly all are retirees. Dale Ring, left, Wil Boyer, and Boyer's dog "Pepper," relax outside their RV at their campsite in Quartsite, Ariz., Jan. 28, 2003. (J. Emilio FLores/The New York Times)
