Ditto, what Brent (& your son) said We really like La Posta too... one of our favorites when in the Las Cruces area.

Hey geo, give us a review on that Cotton Gin rv park. I looked at it too. In my younger days it was nothing to blast all day from Houston to Amarillo. Now, a stopover is welcome. Actually we used to drive non stop to Pagosa to go hunting. One driving, one passenger in the cab, and one in the bunk in the cabover. Brings back a lot of memories. Was it the Elkhorn Cafe on the side of the road south of Chama? And the Mexican restaurant....can't remember the name. She moved into "town" in Chama, the food wasn't the same.
Back in the 1980's we stayed in the motorhome with the kids at Vallecito Lake. Our now 32 yr old daughter caught a huge trout there. I took a horseback ride up to Pope's Nose Mtn and I'm still saddle sore!
Yesterday I asked the wife if she wanted to go to Pagosa and just chill...oh yes, in the summer!

If you haven't gone to this site ( www.campgroundreviews.com) give it a try. It lists hundreds of RV parks and campgrounds all over N.A. with reviews and ratings submitted by folks who have stayed there. Like all reviews, they are subjective but do give you an overall picture of the place so you have some idea of what it is like before you get there.
See what the reviews are for Cotton Gin.

I've sent you a private message on this topic let me know if you received it, BOWWOW! Ticos are good people.

Headed to the Keys on Dec 18...home on the 5th of Jan.
12 of us to be there...kids, spouses, grandkids, sister in law, nephews and one spouse.
New tires on TT.
Had to get axle adjusted aligned
Widened and lengthened bed platform, moved an outlet, and installed a sleep number short queen. New tires on the truck. Lots of gifts for the grandkids and no so many for the adults. Can't wait! !!

Will do! Sometime in early January. If you head up there in the summer, try The Last Resort. Actually, TLR is located right west of where the late Dan Fogelberg's (singer and song writer) house is located - and is presently on the market for only $6 mil.

We hope to get up there for a soak in the hot tub at least!

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Guadalajara on Prince in Tucson was the best Mex ever. Absolutely outstanding in all regards.

First trip tomorrow with our brand new 238ML and my head is reeling! Hoping I remembered the "important stuff"! Going just for one night to Fort Wilderness, Disney, Orlando. Have to get back for our big Christmas Day bash. I will post how it goes!

We took our time going from Illinois to Las Cruces. traveled about 5-7 hours per day and stopped for overnights at KOAs along the way (Joplin, Elk City, Tucumcari) made it safely to the wonderful southern NM weather without any problems. Didn't even lose a blowmax. The duramax did great lugging the 15K Alpine around and averaged 10.5 mpgs for the trip. The diesel prices were a nice surprise, paid 2.55 at Walmart south of Joplin, and 2.59 at Clines Corners in NM. Enjoyed the trip, but after 5 yrs away, it's good to be home

Ummmm, you don't watch Lion's games in Green Bay, you go to Lambeau to watch the Packers. The Lions are just the other team on the field, hopefully the losing team.
