Thanks for the great pics and write ups!
it'd be quite a drive from phoenix but, definitely worth doing if you'll be living out in the west.

oh yeah - must have been in the mid to upper 80's outside and easily a cool 65 even at the entrance.

Almost! The power steering pump seized up and broke the pulley off.

I was close enough to Bakersfield I had a co-worker bring the truck and trailer out. We upgraded our AAA membership today.

That's crazy, glad you made it.
The AAA menbership is a good investment. I have used it many times.
take care
