RE: Kitty litter - clay vs. clumping
We were in Santa Fe a few weeks ago and visited PetSmart. They had a new litter "house" in which the kitty has to go in and turn a corner before reaching the litter; they can't just step in and step out. I'm thinking that this style box will get them to track off most of the excess litter before exiting the box.

RE: Earthbound TTs instead of an Airstream?
Ah, I just looked at this site:
http://www.rvsearch.com/findrv/index.cfm/a-d/tc-36263/vid-511969
This is a handsome RV, but, if I read this correctly (no guarantee!), there are drawbacks for a 29' rig costing $44.9K:
This brand new 2010 Earthbound travel trailer is called the Golden Ridge model. It is 29' 6" long and only weighs an amazing 4,790 lbs. This upscale unit is off the chart in looks and technology. Unit Options: Air Conditioning, Awning, CD Player, Convection Microwave, LP Detector, Refrigerator, Spare Tire Kit, Stabilizer Jacks, Stereo System, Stove, Stove Top Burner, Thermal Pane Windows, Tinted Windows, TV, TV Antenna, Water Heater
So AC, microwave, fridge, jacks, stove, TV and water heater are options? Did I read this correctly?

RE: Diners along the way
I think you'll probably have better luck on responses if you narrow it down to several more specific locations. There are, in fact, bunches of places in some of your locations.

RE: How long is too long to tow?
It all depends on what you want to tow. Newer rigs are indeed much heavier than some of the vintage rigs. Recalling the point that PopsRacer made above, a vintage Airstream doesn't weigh anything near what a new one weighs. For example, our 67 Airstream, a 30-foot, tips the scales at 4,650 dry (about a thousand more when loaded), and we tow it all over the western mountains with our long-bed F150, small V8. But that's the exception rather than the rule, given that most folks are not interested in vintage rigs.

RE: Return To Navajo NM - Keet Seel
SSS,
Wow, what a wonderful journey! Did you have to get any permissions to visit from the Navajo Tribal Council as well as the National Park Service?
Thanks,
Bill
This monument, like Canyon de Chelly National Monument, is on the Navajo reservation and is run cooperatively by the Navajo Nation and the National Park Service. Back country permits thus need to be secured at the park office.

RE: Need to block ports in Windows 7 firewall
According to the article, the problem could allow an attacker to shut the computer down, but would not permit the attacker to install malicious code on the computer.
If you're a careful browser, there's little likelihood of anything happening.

RE: Return To Navajo NM - Keet Seel
Navajo NM is a neat place! We've been there several times (always lucky enough to find a place to put the Airstream in the campground). It's an ethnographer's (and a photographer's) delight!

RE: My family wants to see snow.
We had about 15 inches a week ago, but then a major warm spell: It melted on the valley floor, but stayed on the mountains. Yesterday and today we had another six inches here on the floor, though more in the mountains. The forecast is for pretty cool weather, so it may stick.
Bottom line: We're seeing nothing but white, and it may stick around until April.
The ABQ news showed some snow at Santa Fe and Sandia, but not a tremendous amount (the taller grasses were showing through). They should get more in the coming weeks.

RE: My family wants to see snow.
Most folks wanting a full hook-up park in Taos stay either at Taos Valley RV Park (south side) or Monte Bello RV Park (north side).

RE: Ruidoso NM in Mid-March ??????????
This is an El Nino year for New Mexico. In general, that means lots of precipitation, but slightly warmer temps. For folks into skiing, this translates into a fair chance for good snow during the main part of the season, but also for a somewhat early melt.
Bottom line: You should have good snow, but if you go late, you may be out of luck. Call ahead!

You can probably do it in either direction with a TC, but beware if you are afraid of heights.

RE: Where's the spare tire?
Vintage two-axle Airstreams didn't come with one, either. The manual says to take off the flat and drive to the next station with the flat unmounted. (Vintage one-axle rigs were out of luck and had to carry a spare.)

Sink traps. Outdoor shower plumbing, as needed. And, yes, the lines for tank flush.

RE: Killer Virus Coming
Nearly all viruses come with attachments. The Golden Rule is the following:
NEVER open an attachment unless ALL of the following hold:
1. You are acquainted with the person who sent you the attachment.
2. You know why the person sent you the attachement.
3. You know the approximate content of the attachment.
If you don't know ALL three of the above, then send an email back to the sender and ask. If no answer is forthcoming, then delete it.
Even following the Golden Rule, viruses can slip through. That's what up-to-date virus protection schemes are for.

We used passwords to protect our computers from the sneakly little paws of our wandering felines. Nothing like having a document (or whatever) mucked up by a cat on a keyboard.

RE: Going full time in Jan and need help re health insurance
I agree with bruceandjenna: Check on out-of -area services for your health plan. I have my retiree insurance from the state (Texas), which is basically identical to the plan I had as employee. The coverage from the plan is not very good at all, now that we no longer live in Texas.
Once I turn 65 and go onto Medicare, I plan to check out non-state-provided Medicare supplement plans from other providers (AARP, etc.) that do not care which state you reside in.

RE: Red River, NM in November
Yes, Carson closes the camping areas between RR and Taos and between Taos and Angel Fire pretty early. They're gated and closed.
Not terribly far away is Wild Rivers Rec Area, just a few miles north of Questa. They have a campground, too, though I don't know if they're open at this time of the year.

RE: Email client for windows 7
I've switched almost entirely to web-based interfaces, so no client (Windows or otherwise) is required. I like this because I don't depend on any particular computer; any computer connected to the internet will do.
I happen to use a Yahoo premium account (around $20 per year). With it, I can access mail through my several other accounts, both sending and receiving.

RE: Santa Fe to Taos to Cimmeron and north to I-70
My suggestion about not driving at night/dusk is based on two matters:
1. During the day, we get some runoff from mountainside to street, and that freezes at night. You wind up with some pretty slick spots.
2. There's a LOT of wildlife (mostly elk up here) out and about at night. One encounter of the unwanted kind can ruin your whole trip.
