Next weekend I'm heading to Denver from Phoenix. I'll be there for a week at a dog show.

I've never ventured north on I-25 from Albuquerque. Could you clue me in what to expect going through the mountains from New Mexico to Colorado? I heard from a buddy that it can be a mean section of road this time of year.

We are in Los Alamos,NM currently and as of the time of this post the road is great. My daughter in laws dad came that way today from Colorado Springs and said its all good today. Hopefully someone will chime in around Thursday Friday with a update for you.

Made it to National Western Complex in Denver yesterday. The road between Albuquerque and Denver was in good shape. The only ice I saw was in the shade under overpasses.

I'm hoping to head back on Tuesday and this time take I-40 back to Arizona. Coming the southern route was 1,028 miles. I think the northern route will cut off a couple hundred miles.

This is about the coldest I ever want to be when using the RV. Both furnaces have been working to keep us warm.

Last summer when I went I40 to I25 and back I broke both windsheilds. Those roads around Albequerque are always under construction.

When I was in Denver I noticed a big chunk of ice had formed around the lower access cover for the fridge. I guessed it was leaking from the ice maker line.

I took in to the dealer to see if they could repair it and what they found really made my day...

The previous owner had replaced the heated line with a hose-clamped rubber hose. It froze and dumped water into the electrical box for the fridge. It shorted out all the electronics.

I'm waiting for parts and should have a working fridge again in a week or two.
