RE: Driving through Albuquerque during Balloon Festival
Thanks everyone! We will not be in too much of a hurry. It was just frustrating to be in that stop and go traffic last time in the motorhome. We live out in the country and if there are more than three cars on the road by us we wonder what is going on!!!!

Driving through Albuquerque during Balloon Festival
We will be leaving the Cortez area on October 7 headed back to Texas. Last time we drove home through Bernalillo/Albuquerque on Highway 550 on just a regular weekday the traffic was stop and go and congested.
This year we will be driving back during the balloon festival. I have us routed down highway 491 in west New Mexico through Gallup and then IH-40. We have driven that way previously and know about the truck traffic.
Do you Road and Route experts have any opinions? Thanks in advance

Great Online Order Experience!
I have read a lot of negative posts about Camping World but I must share my recent experience!
Yesterday I ordered a Clam shelter. It was the best price I found, much better than Amazon and the shipping was free. Well, it arrived TODAY!
So thank you, CW!

RE: Thru Amarillo - south to north
When we travel "north" we are usually going up through Dalhart. If that is the case for you I recommend traveling west on IH-40 and then take highway 385 north.
It's been many years since we actually drove through Amarillo

RE: Colorado 92 Blue Mesa to Hotchkiss
We drove highway 92 from Blue Mesa area to Hotchkiss back in 2016. It was pretty hilly. Seems like it was up and down for quite the distance. We weren't towing, just drove our Class C

RE: Do you run house AC while on the road
We have a Class C and there are just the two of us and the pup. If it is very hot and humid we run the generator and AC about 30 minutes before we get to our site for the evening. That begins to cool off the rear until we can plug in the shore power, turning off the generator first of course.

RE: Adding travel time to Google maps
I still use my Microsoft Streets and Trips 2011 version to plan. Then I compare it what Google Maps says. I often need to add a destination to Google.
MS S&T lets me set my speed at the slowest and also lets me add in rest breaks.

RE: What must we do in Colorado?
We love the Grand Mesa. National Forest campgrounds with water in central locations. No dump station, which is a bummer.
Quiet, many, many lakes to fish. It is beautiful!

RE: Amirillo to Denver via 87-25?
We have traveled 287 in the past. But instead of getting on IH-70, in Limon, we drove north on highway 71 to Brush. We then traveled west on highway 34 toward Greeley, then on to IH-25 north.
We avoided the Denver area.
(Greeley has many, many cattle pens so roll up your windows!)

RE: Is a toad necessary with a small motor home?
We have a 26 foot Class C. When we stay for longer than 2-3 days at a location we rent a car. It is better for us to pay the rental fees than to purchase a car to tow, pay for insurance, and pay for the towing bar or whatever. (Our other vehicle is a Chevy Suburban and we would not tow that car)

RE: Questions for Quilters
I enjoy doing small sewing and quilting projects. I only do handwork and don't take my sewing machine when we travel. There is a large Facebook group called "RV Quilters" that I follow. Lots of info in there if anyone is interested
