Go East, old Man, go East in the RV, but where?

[Hugh R]

COVID is shutting down RV parks in CA left and right, we're thinking of going East to AZ, or NM in the next few weeks, where they aren't so restrictive to people in RVs. Concerned about snow so Flagstaff and higher elevations aren't a good idea.

Probably drive to a Needles area RV park on night one, but after that, I'm open to suggestions. Maybe a 10-14 day excursion. Any suggestions of interesting areas? I got snowed in at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in April a few years back, but this time I'll be towing a 4x4 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so snowed in for a few days in the RV is less of a concern.

I'm liking it, don't know the SW well, but Phoenix, to Tuscon maybe Bisbee (shot a Steven King mini-series there once) [Desperation] not a very good mini-series, but interesting area. On to La Cruces and Big Bend, TX sounds very doable for 10-14 day RV trip. elevation not too high so maybe avoid the snow, at least heavy snow.

Big Bemd is nice. Carlsbad is just a hop skip and a jump if you haven't been there. Desolate area.

Sedona is gorgeous. Lots of hiking, bike trails, etc. and a cool vibe. I always liked Santa Fe too (but it can get winters being at 7,000’ or so).

Carlsbad, NM, my sister was the lead DOE environmental attorney there for the WIPP 20 years ago, you go down in an elevator about a mile into the salt dome where they store Transuranic waste. If you dig around in the mine tailings, you can find a piece of salt with a water bubble in it that is about a billion years old.

Gimme a shout if you come to Phoenix. I go to Tucson a lot these days and there are some great sights in southern AZ. It's more sparsely populated and with much bigger mountains than around Phoenix. Night sky views are amazing.

If you stay near I-10, you will have 60+ temps the whole way. And I-10 doesn't have much in the way of steep runs.

[Hugh R]

Sweet thanks guys, I'll post pics where ever we end up going.

IF you make it to Houston, we can do Tex-Mex and beer. Or BBQ and Beer.

There is a really nice RV Park on the Road to Red River NM, called Angel Fire RV Resort. I have never stayed there but rode by it on my motorcycle a few years ago and to this day remember thinking, damn that place is nice.

[Hugh R]

911 Checking it out now.

Excellent!

I recommend Pinetop/lakeside az. Not too yuppy like flag and are mostly retirees with a few random Mormons. From there you can see all of new Mexico via two lane highway. The very large Array is that way too. If you have dd form 2; Luke afb just opened up a new rv camp ground.

I wouldn't suggest Nashville right now.
