Re: El Camino Via Diablo
Last time I was on the road this past January there was 6 to 8 inches of lose sand on much of the road. Road conditions vary greatly, be prepared for everything. I would certainly not camp along the road. I would plan to make the trip in one day and camp in the Ajo area after the day trip. I would certainly not discourage you from the adventure, just don't stop for anyone other than the border patrol. They will tell you the same thing. You may see one person, but if you stop a bunch may just be in hiding. The name Devils Highway is a good description, and road conditions are probably 100% better today than when the settlers used it. I can not even imagine the hardships those many years ago.314Views0likes0CommentsRe: Will motor home freeze traveling in cold weather?

If stuff freezes in the holding tanks I am not concerned. I don't put any domestic water in the tank and lines until we are past the freezing issues.753Views0likes0CommentsRe: Yuma

Just hope there are more people there than we have had here in Borrego Springs. May I suggest you stop in El Centro and shop for tires. I just had a buddy that saved a ton of money by buying his coach tires there651Views0likes0CommentsRe: Quartzite is empty
Went to the RV show today Monday, the smallest crowd that I have ever seen in the big tent. It does make for a good experience because their is no need to push and shoving aspect of getting around and actually seeing things. My only beef was the inconsiderate dog owners that take their pets into the show.746Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying a non-USA flag alone in the US. Disrespecful?

Your vets fought for your right to display your flag just like ours did to display ours. I see you live in Ottawa, so I guess it is no surprise that you have such a crappy attitude. Respect for anyone or any country is not something that anyone in Ottawa is blessed with.345Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying a non-USA flag alone in the US. Disrespecful?
It is absolutely disrespectful, the country you are visiting should always be front and centre. A new trend I see this year is US and Canadian flag as one flag end to end. This in my opinion is a travistity to both countries flags.124Views0likes0CommentsRe: Foothills. Yuma
GrampaKoot wrote: Hi to Gadget Guy. Have you observed any significant increase now that Holidays are over? I would say that the usual group that comes after Christmas have arrived, but there are still a lot of spaces in RV parks open and certainly a large number of RV lots that have spaces for rent from a range of $200.00 to $300.00 per month. Just my humble opinion and observation.343Views0likes0CommentsRe: A Few Questions on Ipad Mini

That said, I don't believe there are any anti-malware apps in the App store anyway. And Apple does a really good job of vetting the apps that are in the app store. So the likelihood of getting malware is pretty slim. But it has been demonstrated that its possible. The same security holes that can be exploited to "jailbreak" the device can also be used to install malware. I am certainly not a computer or software expert but I had the occasion to talk to an Apple expert(15 years working for them) and he said that yes malware can infect an apple product and he has on purpose done it but it will die and not be able to spread in the computer software because of how it has been written. From my own experience I have had a Mac for about 6 years and I have never had a problem with any virus or malware. A real bonus because as soon as you install a anti virus software it slows down the computer.245Views0likes0Comments
