Foxden, I moved to Houston from Cleveland in the early 80’s. There was a minor snowfall that had not occurred for 10 years as I remember. Closed the city down! People left work after a half day! Too funny, but better to be safe.

@pthomas745, @jschemel . I was curious too and was looking at campground pics on the Internet. Is it Kirk Creek Campground? @danp212 , I would love a view of the ocean and sunset from our campsite.

Yes, Kirk Creek campsite in Big Sur! Dry camping only, and no potable water on site, but such a gorgeous location and view!!! (We love dry camping though). We drove down from the North since the bridge was reopened about 1.5 months ago. Access from the south is still closed for some time, but I heard the alternate route Laciminiento Road is also gorgeous. Kirk Creek is around 10 miles north of the road closure.
We had reserved site #32 which needed a bit of leveling but nothing too extreme. Just ordered a new jack foot since returning which will allow the tongue to sit much lower, something we really could have used this past weekend.
The sites are pretty much hit or miss in terms of being level, but the most popular sites 8/9/11/13/15/17/19/21/22 all are pretty good and should require much less leveling work. Some are even big enough you can turn the trailer sideways in the driveway and have the door opening out into the ocean view. The popular sites are pretty much all reserved 6 months in advance so I would recommend making your reservations 6 months out to get an ideal site.
Gilbert Ray Campground in Tucson. The desert cacti and warm enough to have the door open. After 20* the night before in New Mexico, these temps are a treat! 73* forecasted high.

Verna, you get around! You were just in Texas! How many days did it take to get to Tucson? We are plotting our route to Utah in March and have decided to find a more southern route. No going through Denver with the TaB! Enjoy your warm weather Holiday. We are currently driving through a light snow in Michigan at 25*. Brrrr.
@SAM, I left Indy at noon Monday and got to Tucson Saturday noon. It was a much quicker trip than planned. I didn’t want to get stranded in snow and/or ice out on the road. I-69 to I-64, to I-57, I-55, US 67 to Little Rock, AR, I-30 to I-20, to I-10.
Be be sure to read on FB about the T@B owner who was in Flagstaff mid-week and she “fled” to Utah due to 10* and 50 mph winds in Flagstaff. She wasn’t winterized, either. I just dewinterized Saturday. I hit 20* in Deming, NM Friday morning.
Are you sure you really want to go to Utah in March?

@SAM, you just have to map the Thrift shops on the route from place to the other and estimate a leisurely drive... that's how you get close to finding V!

@Ratkity, tonight is only the second night I’ve even opened the tailgate of the truck. I’ve only unhitched twice and put my stabilizers down twice on this trip. Oops....I unhitched tonight, but I forgot to put the stabilizers down. I’ll get them in the morning.
But anyway, moving this quickly (and at 65 mph), I haven’t seen any thrift shops or Goodwill’s! They have been a blur off the road.

Verna, we found that it gets hot and crowded early in the season - hence the later in March arrival. Surprisingly, many of the places that we have reserved started to fill up for that time period. The places we chose are between 4000 - 5000 feet and temperatures on average range 60 to low 70s daytime and cold at night. I think the gamble is not as much Utah, but the potential late winter/ early spring weather. Flagstaff is close to 7000 feet and known for snow. I know we will need to stay flexible with routing and we are giving ourself a full week to travel. May hit Albuquerque on the way to visit a friend. Thanks for the routing - going to check it out. Now that you are out of the risky weather areas you can relax. Enjoy your warm winter - I am jealous!
@SAM, It can get BRUTAL cold here. Last year we saw lows of MINUS 19*! Being a "dry" cold, and without too much humidity, it doesn't seem THAT cold until the wind starts blowin'.....then it gets downright bone-chillin'! Liz & I leave on a bluff about 10 blocks from the valley the Spokane river flows through. When it snows, we get probably an inch or so more than the rest of the city in this area. I refer to it as the "river effect". Come visit some time in early spring (April, May), or late summer, early fall (September, October), you'll love it! @Verna, your trip reminded me of the Willy Nelson song... "On the road again"! Be safe out there & remember......Stabilizers, Stabilizers....
