RE: Printing contact list for Window Mail
If you can export to CSV, then you can easily open it with a spreadsheet (e.g., Excel, Open Office, etc.) and format the thing nice and pretty!

RE: ARIZONA RV PARKS
My parents stay at Black Rock RV Village in Brenda, a dozen or so (or fewer so) miles from Quartzsite: East on I10, then cut off on Hwy 60. They are some relatively nice parks there.

RE: What to see & do in Arizona
I have a modest interest in interesting architecture. I enjoyed the catholic church built part way into the rocks in Sedona....
If you're interested in architecture, then dig yourself into Mary Jane Coulter, who designed many of the very famous buildings along the Santa Fe railroad (of Harvey fame, including the station hotel at Winslow) and at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. It's very enlightening!
Here's my favorite book, though there are others:

RE: Do many of you snowbird in a TT?
We certainly plan to use our vintage Airstream when we retire! At worst, if we decide to spend a winter primarily on one (warm!) spot, then we'll get an Eazy-Up.

RE: Excellent ALASKA imaging and artwork, MUST SEE
They are pretty stunning.
Basically, the person seems to be using HDR software to enhance the digital images. Been thinking about doing that myself! Here's a link to well-known HDR software:
http://www.hdrsoft.com/
Actually, I've been playing with a totally different enhancement technique, the Orton effect. Here's a link to my initial attempts at the technique:

And, finally, one of the sites explaining how to handle Orton:

RE: Are there 12V/120 DIGITAL FLAT SCREEN TV'S
Any difference would be insignificant.
Jim
Oh, you just don't understand. Surely, you don't understand. WHen you're deeply, entirely, and grossly addicted to CSI, missing just one second of the program due to a low battery could be very, very costly to the psyche.

RE: Are there 12V/120 DIGITAL FLAT SCREEN TV'S
Yes. Just do a broad search for "12 volt television" on Yahoo/Google. Here's a site I located with all sorts of 12v products, including televisions (though I suspect that further searching might also yield better prices, too):

RE: Easiest route from Amarillo, TX to Red River, NM
February is a heck of a time to travel up here. You'll be ok, but watch the weather forecasts carefully; if a storm is coming, then find a place to hang out for a day or two before attempting to go into the mountains.

I use Photoshop Elements, a kind of baby version of the full Photoshop CSX series. You can purchase a new copy of an older version on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Ah, shucks, you don't need no tripod to camp at WallyWorld. You can just use the available amenities and cook away!

RE: Will the real RVIA classification please step up.
It's kind of hard to know, but my suspicion is that the system (but not the labels) may have its origin in DOT rules? Just a guess ...

RE: What are the "must see" places on the way to Grand Canyon?
It's Albuquerque. Here's a brief history of the name from the Wikipedia:
Albuquerque was a farming community and strategically located military outpost along the Camino Real. The town of Alburquerque was built in the traditional Spanish village pattern: a central plaza surrounded by government buildings, homes, and a church. This central plaza area has been preserved and is open to the public as a museum, cultural area, and center of commerce. It is referred to as "Old Town Albuquerque" or simply "Old Town." "Old Town" was sometimes referred to as "La Placita" ("little plaza" in Spanish).
The village was named by the provincial governor Don Francisco Cuervo y Valdes in honour of Don Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, viceroy of New Spain from 1653 to 1660. One of de la Cueva's aristocratic titles was Duke of Alburquerque, refering to the Spanish town of Alburqueque. The first "r" in "Alburquerque" was dropped at some point in the 19th century, supposedly by an Anglo-American railroad station-master unable to pronounce the city's name correctly. Some New Mexicans still prefer the spelling Alburquerque; see for example the book by that name by Rudolfo Anaya. In the 1990s, the Central Avenue Trolley Buses were emblazoned with the name Alburquerque (with two "r"s) in honor of the city's historic name.
I'll add only a couple of footnotes on things to see and do very close to the interstate:
1. If you're going to stay at Sky City Casino (Acoma), then be sure to make the trip down to Acoma Pueblo. It is very impressive.
2. Also nearby is El Malpais National Monument. You've probably never seen lava like that.
I'm blanking at the moment. Probably come up with more later ...

RE: What are the "must see" places on the way to Grand Canyon?
You'll find that you need to get off the Interstate in order to see the most interesting stuff. As RRUGG pointed out, some places are right beside the Interstate, but the majority are not.

RE: 1st time long trip, NH to NM
The RV park is relatively barren, though clean. Run by the Pojoaque Pueblo people, it's pretty much beside the highway, though the speed limit in that section is quite low. The folks at Pojoaque Pueblo enforce their speed limits strictly, so don't even think about exceeding the speed limit!

RE: Towing a Mazda Miata
Hi Lynn, ... The last long trip we made B4 pulling the Miata was through Durango, Eagles Nest, Angel Fire, Taos, Sante Fe, et.al. ... Tim
Oh, then you're really enjoy the ride on the Enchanted Circle (Taos, Angel Fire, Eagle Nest, Red River, Questa, back to Taos). Another good ride -- but NOT good for RVs -- is south out of Angel Fire on 434 to Mora, then right and around to Taos, and back to Angel Fire.

RE: Towing a Mazda Miata
Yep, there's something about advancing age that makes me less and less excited about, ah, well, those times on the road when the MG doesn't make the road go by. (Even so, I still feel the thrill when driving it through the mountains here in northern New Mexico!)

RE: frost on propane tanks
As the propane boils off into a vapor it cool the propane in the tank. This is normal and as posted will show you the level of propane in the tanks.
That's close enough to work. The ice one sees on the outside of the cylinder is water from the outside atmosphere. On humid days here in the west (around 40% or more), ice forms here, too. On dry days, there just isn't enough moisture in the air to form.
