Welcome. I moved out here from Boston a little over 20 years ago

and I'm completely spoiled by the climate and lack of nasty bugs at sundown and sunrise.

I would advise you to head in a more northerly direction with an aim toward acclimating to higher altitudes slowly so that by this time next month, when your RV turns into an oven every day, you'll be used to the altitude enough to stay high enough up to be able to go into it during the day, even though you won't much want to stay there.

It might be a dry heat, but it's still HOT.

If you start to get nosebleeds once you're on the dry side of the mountains, that's normal and they eventually do go away. You'll eventually get used to eating green chile in everything, too.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
