The western edition is a must for knowing what routes have what grades. Good for planning, especially if you must cross a dangerous mountain pass, this gives you an idea of where you can check brakes, cool tranny, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81932507770918747.post-66676786755264254132010-04-17T10:18:54.449-06:002010-04-17T10:18:54.449-06:00Mountain Guide for western states?

Tattoo shop that also does henna. :) Watch where you stop if you're in NM notheast and heading down south to Carlsbad. The Mesa is not a place to camp and good place to get robbed. <br />Btw, did you guys ever pick up the Mountain guide for western states? NM has a few you should look into before hitting roads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81932507770918747.post-52259216768369381962010-04-16T09:07:20.335-06:002010-04-16T09:07:20.335-06:00For affordable bike repair in Austin, check out th...For affordable bike repair in Austin, check out the Yellow Bike Project. I can't say for certain that will be your answer, but I've heard of a lot of bikes being "saved from the grave" (without it costing a fortune for their owners) because of YBP. <br /><br />Are y'all familiar with Time Banking? We have the Austin Time Exchange Network and it's been a blessing for me, living on a fixed income. <br /><br />Hope you find all the good, affordable secrets in AusTex. This weeking is the Yard Schtick Garden Tour, celebrating funky yard art and art gardens in town. There is an article and photo gallery about it on the Austin American Statesman website.<br /><br />(Glad you found Wheatsville! Let me know if there's any thing else specific you're looking for while in town. Maybe I can help out!)<br /><br />Blessings on your journey!<br /><br />Auntie EmMargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020823530001571110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81932507770918747.post-8808811327236038282010-04-16T07:30:11.938-06:002010-04-16T07:30:11.938-06:00Thanks for the tip Ali.

I just don't know how far south we'll get with gas and all. You reminded me though I need to check out that annual pass for the national parks.<br /><br />Mouse, I always love checking out the dreads at the festivals. I'm not sure if the weather is gonna hold out though. Right now Texas is getting pummeled:(Little House On The Mesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696204879130901405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81932507770918747.post-78261999975576285282010-04-15T23:43:39.375-06:002010-04-15T23:43:39.375-06:00Amy, I'm not sure if you're planning to go...Amy, I'm not sure if you're planning to go to Carlsbad after Austin but the caverns there are amazing, the walk down into them was so cool - that was the kids favorite part actually! It's a NPS site so if you have the annual pass ($80 for a family for a year so if you were planning to visit any of the big parks out west, many of which are $20, you would save quickly), going there would probably be cheaper than the caverns where you are. If you go there in the evening during spring or summer, you see the multitudes of bats flying out, apparently it's an amazing site. There is a PA cg in Carlsbad with an indoor pool and neat tire swing, which our kids played and played on!<br />Enjoy! aliThe Valentineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540544369919050273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81932507770918747.post-1218579696882980602010-04-15T18:27:21.936-06:002010-04-15T18:27:21.936-06:00Glad y'all made it safe and sound - sorry to h...Glad y'all made it safe and sound - sorry to hear about the bicycle.
