RE: SNOW!! And we NEVER winterize...
We're tired of it being this COLD! Unfortunately, put the trailer back in storage before learning it's going to be 27 again tonight!!!
It's a pain (and also not legal) for it to be in front of the house for very long... So, I'll just go over and turn on the heat I guess. It's been awhile since the batteries have been exercised...
One more day. Then we get rain and it will get warmer... Probably won't be an issue tonight, but you never know. The price of propane beats a broken pipes and the hassle.

RE: SNOW!! And we NEVER winterize...
Well, we brought the trailer home, plugged it in and have the furnace set at 40. That will keep it safe. Actually, we can set our furnace as low as 33... It has a vent in the basement. It's going to be about 25 the next two nites, but should warm up to 45 or so during the day.
We needed to bring it home anyway to replace the last two Mission tires.

SNOW!! And we NEVER winterize...
They're predicting SNOW tomorrow night and 27 degrees... Last night it hit 30. We never winterize because it just never or nearly never gets that cold here. And most of the time - or at least every few weeks, we are camping!
SO, other than hitching up and dragging the trailer home from storage to plug in... We're going to run over to storage and turn on the heat overnight. Hopefully, the cold spell won't last long enough to run down the batteries (luckily we have lots of battery power!)

My inlaws brought us H1N1 - how thoughtful
My inlaws just rolled in with what they believe to be H1N1. It could be. Unfortunately, they are not restricting themselves to the motorhome and are instead going to visit an elderly sister. All the talking in the world didn't change their minds. I understand wanting to make the most of a 1,200 mile trip, but common sense here is lacking. Okay, done ranting.
On the other hand, I'm going to wrap everything in clorox wipes - including maybe me. It will be the new fashion statement.

Sedona from Quartzsite...
We are thinking about visiting Sedona this year while we are in the Quartzsite area. Any suggestions on where to stay or the best route would be appreciated... I assume the most direct route would be through phoenix?

Last year we got two or three channels but that was before the digital switch. We look forward to watching "sunny the weather dog" from Yuma again..

RE: Good sites at Fallen Leaf Lake, CA
Okay, I'll share our favorite sites. 78 - you can walk over to the lake. 76, 75 and 81 are also good ones for being closer to the lake. And they are huge sites. Along Taylor Creek, we like 62, 60, 58 and 52... Now these are the ones we can get into. The rest of the ones along that side of the road are nice also, it's just the trees present issues for our longer rig.
Early Spring and late fall is our favorite time of year. But before Memorial day, only part of the park is open. And it closes in Oct...
Be sure and bring bicycles. There's lots of really great cycling there and the ride back to the other side of the lake is great on a bike.

RE: Tow a Jeep behind?
But I think it can be done only behind a 5er - not a trailer.

RE: Good sites at Fallen Leaf Lake, CA
Last year Fallen Leaf went to site specific reservations. We walked through and wrote down the ones we can get into. Since we're a big 5er, there's only the drive throughs for us - and only the ones without challenging trees. We love all the drive throughs, but the ones next to Taylor Creek are the best.
We're at Fallen Leaf at least a couple times a year. The larger sites are on the outside loop. The inside roads are too tight for us. We also like the sites around the meadow.

RE: Just Curious - how many retired emergency services
DH retired 2 years ago - Battalion Chief - 30+ years in service, 26.6 counting in retirement. Hated the office job - if they would have let him stay fighting fire he'd still be there...
I'm a retired fireman's wife (does that count?)

RE: Sacramento
The Beals Point campground at Folsom Lake can take all sizes of rigs. But be aware the cost is I think $50 a night now with the state fee increases. It's full hookup and is in a very nice area. Unfortunately, the choices around Sacramento are very limited.

RE: Have Your Ducks In A Row @ Border
Just curious, but why would one need to bring a birth or marriage certificate if you have a passport? Those documents have already been checked to even receive a passport?

RE: Dogs Foot Protectors
We tried "booties" in Az because the rocks were hard on her feet. Lasted about 20 minutes. In a dead run she kicked off all four. We saw them fly in the air but could only find two... It wasn't a good investment.

Truck body repair advice...
We now have a small hole - about the size of a large golf ball - in the duelly fiberglass wheel fender when it made contact with the 5ers sliding storage shelf (hey, wanted to get under the awning and out of the rain!)
Really don't want to claim it, but DW doesn't like the truck's new look. Is that kind of fiberglass repair that difficult?

RE: Calico Patrol
We were thinking of stopped there on the way to Arizona... with the quads... This is what I got off the website:
4.OHV riding is allowed but restricted to existing open roads only in the Calico Mountains. Hill climbs, riding in the mud hill areas, and across open desert not on a road is illegal. Green or Red Stickers are required on all Off Highway Vehicles (38010 CVC). Green stickers are valid year round. Red stickers are limited to ride only October through June. You must were a helmet at all times (38505 CVC). No operator of an all-terrain vehicle shall carry a passenger while operating on public lands (38506 CVC). Maximum speed is 35mph on open roads. Maximum speed limit is 15mph in or near any campground unless otherwise posted. (Slower speed limits may be posted.)
Sounds like the roads only are open to atvs. Having never been to the area, not sure what that means... But it sounds like just dirt and gravel roads?

RE: American Express - costco card - NEW RULES
My membership is a business one. And we do have a business and use the card. But we also use it for travel, fuel and dining...
Now we'll be restricted to business use only - if we keep the card.
