So, tomorrow Susan and I leave the Las Vegas vicinity, [RV news]heading toward Tombstone (we expect it to take at least two days, possibly three). Tombstone apparently is about to get a cold front, but past the first few days once we arrive, the low temps begin to climb, so that for the remainder of January and almost all of February (we may stay that long ( Read more... )
