Camping/Biking/Hiking in
NM and AZ
My wife and I bought our VW for two reasons:
1) =
The
killer dog Star (Picutres can be seen at http://www.users.qwest.ne=
t/~walker100/).
Once we had the dog, the camping was more difficult, and finding a =
hotel on
the road was even more difficult, especially considering item number
2).
2) We can't plan a trip to save our lives. We've never been =
on a
real honeymoon (airplane, tropics, etc). The more we try to make a =
plan for
something, the less inclined we are to do it. The Westy allows us to =
make up
our minds at the last minute and and go whereever w/o having to commit =
too
much.
Case in point: A month or so ago we decided that we would =
go to
St George/Zions for Thanksgiving to do some biking/hiking. Well, just =
last
night we both realized that we could easily get out of work for the =
beginning
of the week, and we could take to whole week off. We've bagged St. =
George b/c
it is so close and decided to go another state or two south. Now I was =
hoping
for a bit of feedback on places to camp/bike/hike in New
Mexico/Arizona.
We were hoping for a centrally located area =
where we
could do our activities without driving around too much during the =
day. We've
been to Chaco in NM and really enjoyed that. We were thinking about =
Sedona in
AZ, and it looks to have the biking/hiking, but I don't know anything =
about
local (primitive) camping. We try to stay out of campgrounds to give =
the pooch
some room to run.
Any help would be much appreciated, and I'll =
return
the love I can when someone is looking for places to go/stay in Utah. =
I am
itching for some good/new bike rides, and my wife loves good =
hikes.
PS.
Thanks for the help with the little screw caps. The knife blade is the =
best
trick. I was able to get my shelf apart and run the wires w/o any =
problem.
Thanks for the help. As always, the list is great.
