I just checked the elevation of Tres Piedras, 8000', no wonder winters are cold there. Even in Quartzsite at 900', winter temps are near freezing at night.

DannyB1954 lives in Pahrump, but hasn't posted for a few months. I believe summers are quite hot there (probably not as bad as Yuma).

BB, just as an FYI, you can delete all the characters after the Amazon P/N and the link is much cleaner. https://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-504D-Camp-Stove-Toaster/dp/B0000AUSTK I've always wondered whether the toast doesn't get contaminated by propane gas when using those toaster kluges.

Tres Pedras has average lows of 8-10F in Jan and Feb. Great fun in an RV. https://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/tres-piedras/new-mexico/united-states/usnm0618

Aw heck, I thought maybe there was a possibility of something interesting brewing there, but ahh .... better luck next time, lol.

Both Craggy Wash and the state lands camping in Havasu are "boondocking". There are also other boondocking places, just off the highway, both north of Craggy Wash and south of LHC about 3 miles. In the LTVAs in Quartzsite, you'll find many tent campers. Also, where I camped last winter there...

Those are long term averages, so you can always expect variations above and below. Plus the past several years have probably been hotter than the averages. And a 93 average sounds a heck of a lot better than a 107 average. In fact, the climate data in Sierra Blanca TX is similar to what I have...

Climate data for Sierra Blanca, TX, not too bad ... averages: 92-93 highs in summer and 25 in winter. https://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/sierra-blanca/texas/united-states/ustx1259 For reference, I give you Yuma: 107 highs and 46 lows...

From my experience, you are much better off on the freeways than on any 2-lane roads if you're doing 60 MPH, except possibly around cities. First off, a couple of winters ago, I went into Phoenix and drove all over the area for a couple of days, to familiarize myself. I crossed over all the...

On reviewing your last map, in post #12, it shows you going through LA and onto I-10. The trouble with that route is you go over the Grapevine, where you'll be dodging semis doing 30 MPH, and then drive almost 100 miles of freeway through urban Los Angeles. If you're only doing 60, you'll find...

We did get a couple of inches of snow here last night and temps today are only just above freezing. Too cold to work in the van.

Good one, jan. You know HDR is somewhere in central Oregon, if he's not left to go south yet, just in case yer in the area.

Where, pray tell, is the problem here? The nice thing about being on the road is, ya gots lotsa time to think on how organize things. Plus there are dumpsters everywheres. What I have found is that you cannot figure out everything ahead of time, but as you go along, things tend to find where...

I am very happy today, I have to say. We are predicted to get, in just another day, the first rain in many weeks, though it may come down as snow, Yea, yea, and hooray.

I should add that, in the interest of full disclosure, at that same time I had a little 17' sailboat, and managed to demast it too .... on dry land of all things. What a klutz. They say the best day of yer life is the day you buy the boat, and the 2nd best day of yer life is the day you sell the...

Welcome to the forum, Boutdun 4. I think I saw you broach. I was on Ocracoke back in the early 1980s, and saw this group led by this big muscled guy with this big smile on his face launch a 15-16' cat into the surf with 4 people on board. They hit the very first wave, the cat turned sideways...

I earned it .... LOL.

Good one, frog, lol. We can always rely on you for a "practical" solution.

I would also like to hear nl's story of "Escaped From A Nursing Home". Definitely material for nomination to YARC. Sofi has a good basis for starting YAAC, as she's so very sweet. But YSAC has a very special nomination process. It has to be overheard by a 3rd party person of someone else...
