    The first ever New Mexico Round-up has come and gone and all I can say is WOW. Thanks to all the folks tolerating the swarms of humming bird sized mosqitoes.

    Standard pop up or Offroad pop up?

    Something like this is perfect for what you are looking for, you can later do a spring over conversion that will cost less the $100.00 if you can have someone weld on the new spring perches. http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/rvs/4032459587.html

    If you are talking about the Cobalt on the first page it came that way from top to bottom from the factory. The individual that ownes it can tell you what mods he has done but what you see in the pic is factory.

    REI, Politics and Public Lands

    No argument no scene and the manager was very polite. He seen me asking questions in each of the departments and I think one of the sales reps thought I was a little abrasive(I have been known to be)and I was asking questions that could have been political in nature. He did not specifically say...

    Probably NOT as there are many other places I can make my purchase. You can go there and make purchases and believe in what you want to believe this is your right.

    None of the above. Annually the Forest Service here in New Mexico comes up with another round of land management which usually includes more road closures due to the the local lobbyists that have been paid for by the Green Party.
