  1. Note that if one isn't going to be in Texas one can self-certify online... just click a box .... and you don't have to drive to Texas for a yearly inspection. Also, if just driving through Texas and not staying you don't have to get an inspection if you can drive through in 3 days.
  2. We never used chemicals .... just water .... and when we dumped it was all broken down.
  3. You issue is you need a street address; not a P.O. Box in Arizona. I put that statement into Google & these & others appeared: https://www.earthclassmail.com/addresses/az https://www.postscanmail.com/c/az-phoenix.html https://www.biltmoremailboxes.com/Mailboxes/iPostal1-Digital-Mailboxes
  4. Yes.... I posted the link to this above, also. https://www.amazon.com/go/contact-us?orderId
  5. https://www.amazon.com/go/contact-us?orderId https://www.amazon.com/contact-us/s?k=contact+us https://gethuman.com/phone-number/Amazon https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/retail/2022/09/14/how-to-contact-amazon-account-inquiries/7867529001/#:~:text=Contact an Amazon representative by,via live chat or phone
  6. I've talked to Customer Service in the past but don't recall how I did it. You can try this: You can request a phone call from Amazon. It takes some digging on their site. 1. Log In Go to Your Account Customer Service Help With Something Else Get Help with a Different Issue Message Assistant - type in your question or type "talk to a representative" & you'll eventually get: Request A Phone Call 2. I just did a Google for a phone # & this came up 888-280-4331
  7. I wonder if this would help. I've been able to actually call Amazon Customer Service in the past. Try that. https://feedvisor.com/university/shipping/#:~:text=Click the Confirm Shipment button,list for that particular order.
  8. Perhaps in the past. Those might be old pictures. It's not now.
  9. Here's their web site with photos. Looks like well-spaced, well-kept sites. Have you ever been to Gila Bend? Not much there.... would be quiet but it's close to I-8 interstate so perhaps some noise from it. https://www.sonorandesertrvpark.com/
  10. Since your home is near San Francisco I'd recommend doing a trip up 101 and cross into Oregon to buy your tires. No sales tax. We bought ours in Eugene at Les Schwab and got a very good price. We ordered them while we were still in Arizona and we requested that all of them had to have the same or very close manufactured date. As it turned out they were all manufactured within 4m. Go to a place that is busy so you know their tires aren't sitting on a rack and aging out there. We chose to buy all new ones before our Alaskan trip. They were 6 yr. old and in my opinion, ready for new ones. Tires are a small price to pay instead of having an accident. I also recommend, in addition to Les Schwab, Discount Tires. They both do a lot of business.
  11. So sad. Our lot with a casita was across the street. I believe that was the first fire in the park; hopefully, the last. I read it was a faulty propane connection on a tankless water heater. I don't know if the lot changed hands since we've been there but the owners at that time were very conscientious people who kept their casita in tip top condition.

    Your links don't work.
  13. I'm amazed that you would consider 400 mi/day unless you have a deadline to be somewhere and you don't have much time. Plan to spend the whole summer up there if you have the free days. Cross the U.S. border around the 3rd week of May and leave Alaska the end of August. There is so much to see and do. Most days we'd only travel 50-100 miles; sometimes even shorter. Distances between special things can be great. You sitesee as you travel. Canada and the Yukon in some places are even more beautiful than Alaska. They should all be explored.
  14. I also think the best of people until known otherwise. She went there a couple years ago for a 'procedure' so that turned out ok so she went back for another. There are border towns that people cross daily for dental and meds. They can walk over; don't need to drive.
  15. I heard one report of the woman going for a facial procedure. That town hasn't been safe for years. I can't imagine anyone going there for anything.
  16. If you have the Milepost and Mike and Terry Church's book of Alaskan Camping (includes Canada & the Yukon) then you're set to go. Also get the TourSaver 2/1 Coupon book. One glacier cruise will pay for it. We did them out of Valdez and also Seward. The cat shouldn't be any problem. Don't cross into Canada until at least mid to end of May... still ice on lakes and possibly snow if any earlier. Sumas, Washington is an easy crossing. Plan to spend the first night in nearby Hope BC (awesome totems lining the street) and replenish fresh foods. We also went to the local bank and exchanged some money into Canadian because we planned to use Provincial parks & many have no attendants... just the iron ranger to put money. Go to Canadian web site for current crossing information on food, pets. Don't try to hide anything when going through check points. Drive on the top half of your tank and don't try to price compare even though fuel will be expensive. We boondocked or used public campgrounds for the whole trip. The only reservations made were for the July 4 weekend and staying in Denali Nat'l Park. For those we made them only 3 weeks prior when we could better judge when we'd be in the areas. As it turned out we were a little early for Denali so on a whim we boondocked at a lovely place nearby and drove in early morning. We easily secured an additional 5 nights in the front campground - Riley Creek. We then drove to Teklanika campground for another 5 nights. We saw THE mountain for almost 7 full days. (Some never see it.) We saw every one of the big animals... more than once. We got the TEK bus pass so at Teklanika we were able to take a ridge deeper into the park whenever we wanted. Sometimes we just got off and walked the road in complete silence in the huge expanse.... just us! If you want to do any hiking in Banff/Jasper parks plan to stop on your return otherwise the trails will be snow packed early in summer. Go up on the Alaskan Hwy and return via the Cassier in order to stop in Hyder, Alaska to view the bears fishing in mid-August.... a must! We returned at the Roosville crossing near Glacier Nat'l Park - Hwy 93 Another trip we took the Alaskan ferry from Washington and rented a Class C so we could tour for a few weeks with friends who were flying in from Michigan. We enjoy driving the whole way much better. Hopefully, you can spend the whole summer on this trip and don't rush it. Have a good one!
  17. You're talking about the ferry; not a cruise. 😉
  18. You don't want to cross the Canadian border until at least mid-May. Otherwise you'll still see frozen lakes and fast streams and very possibly snow. If you can, drive to Alaska. You'll see a lot more than on a cruise and you can take your cat. Spend the whole summer for the trip and begin the return late August. Return via the Cassier and you can stop in Hyder to watch the bears fish. That's the time they are there.
  19. Wow! that bear pic had his ribs showing. 😟
  20. Hwy 16 from Buffalo is Powder River Pass EL9600' Westbound from Buffalo: About 3 mi from the summit is steep grade for 18 miles - 5-7% Then 9 mi from the summit is 6% grade for 10 miles with a runaway truck ramp at 16 mi down from the summit. Then another 4 mi of steep grade. Many curves on this hill. Get into low grade before beginning down; not in the midst. Use brakes as little as possible. That said.... take it easy & you'll be fine. Many RVers drive it.
