Memorial Day 2008 in Arizona's most aptly named White Mountains. At least for this weekend.

BTW - this was last year's Christmas card.

In storage, a few feet away from CrazyLev's trailer. I can almost imagine them sitting there, shivering... and cursing their owners for not springing for heated, indoor storage.

Make sure you clean that snow off the roof of your Airstream before going on the road in NJ next winter. NJ recetly passed a law that goes in effect the winter of 2010 requiring vehicles to clean their roofs of snow or they can get fined $25.00 to $75.00.

Been up in Martinsburg, WV with Rick in the AS and we got 23" of snow this week...wild. Sadly, I didn't have my camera with. I slipped and slid home this morning to find couldn't get up our 1/2 mile driveway....the 17" of snow has not melted AT ALL! Virginia hasn't had this kind of snow in many years!

Wow! That looks like about 12 inches of snow on your tank cover. We're headed south (Myrtle Beach, SC) on the 26th. You're not that far away...

13" Silver Ranger. We'd love to be headed down that direction and join ya. We head to Texas in late Jan or early Feb depending on when our third Grand, Emily Grace, hits the world. Hopefully no ice storms or hail will greet us and only balmy Texas Winter weather. Ya never know down in The Lone Star State that time of year. We may head South from there if it's cold. Have a great trip!

We installed the winterizing kit purchased at Camping World. It allows us to pump less than a gallon of the waterline anitfreeze into the lines, displacing the water. We isolate the water heater tank and drain it as not to fill it with antifreeze. Drinking water tank, black & grey water tanks are empty of course. Batteries are inside the shop on trickle chargers. That's about it. Oh, pour the remaining antifreeze into the pea traps and the water closet to seal the flapper valve.

Winterize? Even though it's well past time, we're still in the camping mode, so we are playing it day by day and keeping the gas furnace running... for now. I hope the winter is mild enough for us to keep it that way until Mardi Gras, but I doubt it will be. We just got whomped by a major snow storm (by Delaware standards), but the temps only fell about 5 degrees below freezing.

WOW! What a great bunch of photos in this thread. It would've made a terrific photo of the month thread. I sure would hate to be the judge on this one.
