Just curious - could you cancel Gallup at no cost? Well, even if you could, we'd probably get a nice warm spell and you'd be hot in AZ and missing out on the balloons.

Yes I could probably cancel my reservation at no cost. Since there's a balloon event going on and I got the last available campsite, so they could probably rent it out again. But I really wanted to see the balloons. I wanted to see the Albuquerque balloon event but it got too big before I ever got a chance to see it, and when this Gallup event said they were the second largest balloon event in the country, and they hold the event at an RV Park where I can stay right where the action is, it sounded like a place I wanted to be. So I don't worry about a heat wave anywhere, I worry about it snowing in Gallup which is not at all rare.

You are caught in the horns of a deadlocked dilemma. All the temps. in NM are all about the same. Flagstaff is only slightly warmer and PHX is about as good as it gets. I was surprised to see that is over 300 miles from PHX to Gallup. Diesel costs are a consideration but so is propane.

I can relate; I was on "light duty" for many years until I switched to "no duty" quite a while ago. Oddly enough no one could tell the difference when I switched from full duty to light duty, and then nobody cared when I switched from light duty to no duty.

When we last stayed at Datil the cell phone service wasn't very good. I had Verizon 4g and it would connect on 3g. ATT was not connecting at all. I have a booster and a outside antenna.

That's smart having AT&T and Verizon when you're on the road that way at least something will work. I put an antenna and some booster gadget on the Arctic Fox but once I got the Verizon MiFi it provided all the service I needed, and very seldom do I feel shortchanged in the Internet department now days.

I'm wondering if, for the money you are spending on heating, you could have just driven south for the interim then back north for the balloons without it costing much more.

That's an excellent question Linda, and I did give that a fair amount of thought. I'd much rather be in Phoenix or Q right now enjoying the warmth, and that's probably what I would've done if I hadn't run into the bargain that is Datil Wells BLM campground. Since I'm able to stay here for $2.50 a day with electricity that made my choices a bit simpler.
