    Heading southwest to Apache Junction

    Albuquerque Area Campgrounds

    We have stayed in both parks before we moved to the Albuquerque area. Stagecoach would be my choice but mainly because of the off park amenities. There are several fast food restaurants, a Denny's, an I Hop, and some very good New Mexican restaurants. Let me know if you chose that one and I...

    water heater exhaust

    I second the welcome and agree that it is not normal nor is it safe. Black smoke indicates incomplete combustion, party to that black smoke is CO. Get it fixed.

    Arizona Camping

    Great choice, cool if you are from the desert floor, nice walking trails, and because it may be your first outing, just a mile and a half from a Walmart.

    Towing Fifth Wheel in the wind?

    Two weekends ago we were returning on I-25 from our niece's graduation and got caught in a wind/hail storm. We learned later that the winds exceeded 50 MPH from the drivers side and, the hail was so thick that we couldn't see more than 100 feet. Thank goodness that the hail was soft. Knowing...
